Unreal Engine 4.15 Preview

Physics problems added in the 4.14 keep there just awesome

Now are even worst and this is not even the vehicles code... the only physics part here is the chasis is really sad UE4 can't handle 2 cubes colliding...

We've dealt this numerous times in Unreal Slackers and also mentioned here in forums. This bug is most likely cause of bad project upgrade and corrupted data due to it. I have no idea why that happens but it doesn't happen to me on that same project IF I upgrade it myself (I see some of the issues with Hevedy's version). I've sent Hevedy updated builds for the same project, both for 4.14 and now for 4.15 and he can't reproduce the issues with version I've upgraded.

We are investigating this. Your regular "bumps" actually caused a delay because the posts cause the 'activity date' to update, while we investigate the queue from oldest to newest. For this reason, we strongly advise against "bumping" bug reports.

Thanks

Loving these compile times! Keep up the good work.

Is release going to happen in a couple of weeks ?

Sooner than that, if all goes well.

Hopefully it should be a pretty easy transition. The plugin is enabled by default, but if you are using vehicle classes in C++ you will need to add a dependency to the PhysXVehicle module to your Build.cs file, so the build system knows about it. The only thing that might need manual work is converting from TireType to TireConfig assets. Here are my draft notes on the topic:

Note: a manual step is required if you want to migrate old ‘TireType’ assets (deprecated in Engine) to the new ‘TireConfig’ assets (defined in the new PhysXVehicles plugin). There is a new console command available in the UE4 Editor that will do this for you - simply summon the console and enter ‘ConvertTireTypes’. This will create new TireConfig assets, copy over properties, and assign them to any VehicleWheel Blueprints. The old TireType assets can then be removed.

In the old system the PhysicalMaterial had a list of TireTypes and their friction scale. Now the TireConfig has a list of PhysicalMaterials with friction scale for each. This is because Engine (which contains the PhysicalMaterial class) cannot depend on classes in the PhysXVehicles plugin.

Where can I find PxVehicleDriveNW.h class to provide support for N-wheeled vehicles? There is no such class in plugin.

Upd: looks like now I have to use PhysXPublic.h for this.

Is it me or is it not possible to have a Map with a Array-Value?
I can't choose the Value Type as an Array

Try to put the array in a struct and then use a Map of those structs.

In C++ you can have TMaps of TArrays, but in BP you also can't have TArrays of TArrays, so I would not expect TMaps of TArrays to be possible without using that extra struct.

I know about issue UE-10109 and i just want to note
There is laggish/freezing (few ms) process of "level streaming" in Preview 4 . Ive play with relative settings as well (garbage collection, background async) - doesn't helps.
Ive tried to run packaged build - better but still few ms freezes. Sound is like blocking main game thread.

And Im not sure but i saw issue in roadmap is DONE. Hm... Or not?

Always checked on MacOS, UE 4.15Preview4. Never in windows.

I just want to draw some more attention to this. A lot of us have been waiting on it since forever. Data tables are way less useful without it.

Just Quoting you to again draw attention :P

But yeah, i Agree, this would help soo much!

If I remember right, this isnt possible in C++ either. But I feel like I could be very wrong.

nevertheless, if you wrap the TArray in a struct, you should be able to have it as a value.

By the way: Is there a releas date for 4.15 already?
