Unreal Engine 4.11 Preview

[dokipen]

The issue with standalone games not working with VR (UE-24264) (jn my case DK2) is still occurring. I'm running oculus runtime 0.8 (as 1.0 isn't implemented yet as per the release notes at the start of this thread).

I think there's a bug with BSP object's Details tab. In the editor sometimes the Surface Properties will disappear randomly.

edit: apparently it's not random. Clicking on a brush object in World Outliner tab will hide the Surface Materials and Surface Properties. While clicking on a brush object in 3D view window will show them normally. Also I noticed that the material list of a brush sometimes shows different material(s) although visually the brush is still shown with correct material. Clicking on the brush few times will bring the correct material list in Surface Materials tab.

"A material with tessellation active is rendering as transparent"


Yep! I have the same problem. Anybody know how to fix it?

Hi zeOrb,

UE-24810 has already been resolved internally and should make it out in one of the upcoming preview releases. I'm not sure if it'll be in 4.11 p2 yet or not though, but should make it into preview 3.

UE-24809 is still yet to be resolved.

Keep an eye out for Stephen's 4.11 Preview posts for updates on current known 4.11 bugs being addressed.

Thank you!

Eye shader setup.

Can someone please just copy-paste a quick screengrab showing the basic shader graph for use with the eye shader? I've tried everything I can think of, and it looks awful (illumination only affecting iris when light is shining from directly below, no refraction etc etc)

Has there been changes to how Actor Detail customization works in 4.11?

I am attempting to migrate plugins from 4.9 to 4.11 and running into a major problem with a custom camera actor that I have.

This custom actor is basically an enhanced camera that connects to our pipeline database. I have having two major issues porting from 4.9 to 4.11

1. On our custom CameraComponent which inherits from UCameraComponent, we had hidden the base CameraSettings. Worked fine in 4.9 but now it causes the stock camera details code to crash saying it can't get the parameters for display. Removing this fixes it but of course now all the base camera settings are exposed to our artists which we don't want.
2. This is a larger issue, but it appears there is some change with object references inside CustomizeDetails? Previously we would get the object being customized with DetailLayout.GetObjectsBeingCustomized(), but this is now returning invalid objects. Strangely it works fine if you drag out the actor but don't let go. In other words, drag the actor from the left panel into your scene but keep holding down the mouse button. You can see all the properties displayed correctly, showing the right data. Soon as you release the mouse button though it will crash and the object references that were just working fine will all be invalid.

A snippet of the code causing the problem for point #2:

// Declared in the class
TWeakObjectPtr<AMPCCameraActor> Camera;

// Code in CustomizeDetails()
TArray<TWeakObjectPtr<UObject>> objects;
DetailLayout.GetObjectsBeingCustomized(objects);
Camera = Cast<AMPCCameraActor>(objects[0].Get());
//.....
// Inside omitted slate code...
SNew(STextBlock)
.Text_Lambda([this]()->FText {return FText::FromString(Camera->Job);} )

The Camera object passed into the lambda is valid up until such time as you release the object into the scene then it becomes invalid.

EDIT: Added #2 to AnswerHub: https://answers.unrealengine.com/que...d-objects.html

Will there be a VR project / template in 4.11, and will we see Bullet Train?

"We now have support for 3 lighting channels. You can set which channels a PrimitiveComponent or a LightComponent is in."

Apologies is this is a dumb question but would this support UI objects with their own lighting model (custom lights) rendered at the same time as a 3d game scene? [and on mobile - while we're asking...]

[Nedth]

Hello,

First of all : realy THANK YOU for Lighting Chanels. Even if it's only 3 and for movable lights : it will help so much to light characters and other movable meshes.

But, in the row i wanted to test capsules shadows. The render is pretty cool. Even if I guess I'm working with a bad configuration, (i used the bones to the characters, so it's not realy optimal). I just wanted to see how it's work.

I don't know if there are too many capsules, but when I used a movable skylight unreal crashed if I switch from stationary to movable. If I change the skylight intensity. If the Skylight is already in my scene and I activate the Capsule Direct Shadow (or Capsule Indirect Shadow).

Please, is it possible to learn more about it ?

I know there is a demo to introduce the feature, but à didn't realy hear some restriction about this (even the more shapes we have, the higher the cost of the shadow will be).

And, sorry for my bad english, i hope i am understandable.

Thank you in advance.

Fixed! UE-24857 Re-implement plugin changes in 4.11

I've been working a lot on Plugins for UE4 dev teams recently; I need more info about this please; where can I check fix details? GitHub?
Does this fix means we don't need to close UEditor anymore to reload plugin compiled code??
