Unreal Engine 4.7 Released!

Collections in 4.7

Thank you for 4.7 Epic!!!

I see collections listed along the top now, but how do I add a new collection?

Also can I get the old collection view back where it is below the main content file listing?

I dont understand the new setup.

Here's a pic of what I mean:

Hey Rama!
You can bring back collections via "View Options" button in bottom-right corner of Content browser!
It's have not been changed, just hidden by default(Dunno why)

[JoeWintergreen]

Ah, okay, dang.
I'm guessing if I were to set BoxComponent as blueprintable and make a BP subclass of it, that class wouldn't work in somebody's content-only project right now? Wanting to do it for a Marketplace thing :P

Sorry, that's correct. Things like box component are almost certainly safe/sane but we didn't have time to vet every individual component for this release and went with just the core ones that got a lot of testing.

If it were a mixed C++ and BP thing, you could subclass box component first in C++ and add the tag there, and that would be fine.

Yeah, the only reason that's not ideal for me is it's for something I want to distribute via Marketplace so it can't have a C++ requirement. Although it kind of looks like those Feature Packs might be a step in the direction of allowing C++ on the marketplace?

Thank You Epic for 4.7 , it's really cool !


I am wrong or Quick Setting => Hide Viewport UI checkbox doesn't work ?
Please where is Enable or Disable Realtime checkbox now ? I don't see it within quick Setting ?

I don't have any hard dates, but the limitation of content-only assets on the marketplace is something we want to eliminate as soon as possible.

The feature packs aren't strictly related, they are really more to provide flexibility with templates/etc..., so you don't feel locked in by choosing a control scheme up front and can mix and match if you wanted to have a spaceship section and a 3rd person section for example. They can be used for many other things, but they're not really a replacement for plugins as the asset packs are cloned into your project, making updates difficult.

Hey erWilly,,

Are you still having this issue? We are trying to track down the cause of it currently, if possible could you please post a screenshot showing of the contents of this folder: "C:\ProgramData\Epic\EpicGamesLauncher\Data\Manifests"

If you are not able to find the ProgramData folder, click on the "View" menu/tab at the top of Windows Explorer and open up the Options menu. From the popup that opens select the View tab, and then change the option for "Hidden files and folders" to "Show hidden files, folders, drives", and press Ok. You should now see ProgramData in the list of folders on your main drive.

Just post the screenshot here (or PM me with it) and I will make sure it gets passed on to the staff working on this issue.

Thanks!

Sorry delay I went to sleep.
Here is the screenshot with the manifest folder

After you have done that, try closing the launcher and reloading, if that doesn't fix it please let me know

Still Happen, even after of turn on and off the pc, as you can see:

The 4.7 is missing for download or launch.

I'm excited about the new HTML 5 functionality

In the release notes it says "Firefox, Safari, or 64-bit Chrome is required during development (shipping builds work fine in 32-bit Chrome)".
If you have one of these browsers during the development of the game, does anyone know if the shipped HTML5 version of a game will work in Windows Internet Explorer 9 ?

Regards,
Morten

It will not work. IE 11 is the first Internet Explorer that has any real WebGL support, and unfortunately something about IE's interpretation or optimization of Emscripten generated JS causes incredibly long load times (IIRC it was on the order of 5 minutes for Tappy Chicken). Microsoft just announced that they would be considering asm.js support in Windows 10 though: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2...indows-10.aspx
