Auto Settings - Game options and input binding toolkit

[Sam Bonifacio]

I have another hotfix to submit:

Inside AutoSettingsConfig.h

class UAutoSettingsConfig : public UObject

should be

class AUTOSETTINGS_API UAutoSettingsConfig : public UObject

Without this, you are not able to use this in C++ classes because of the modules.

Thanks!

Good catch, I've updated in internally and it will be in the next release, thanks.

First off, thank you for your plugin. You are a huge help and I will continue to recommend your Plugin on the UE4 discord servers.

Unfortunately I am having an error show up in my Output Log, perhaps you could help?:

LogClass: Warning: FKeyScale::Scale is not initialized properly
LogClass: Warning: BoolProperty FInputMappingPreset::bUseDefaultMappings is not initialized properly

[Sam Bonifacio]

Ghoztt Apologies for the late response, I've been very caught up in shipping my game.

Is this still something I can help you with? Are those errors causing functional issues or are they just warnings?

Acren Hi, I just bough this and followed the migration video and have a question. When I set the FOV on a player it gets set on other players as well when testing on a dedicated server. I haven't done anything other than follow the guide so I'm unsure why this is happening.

Thanks!

Sorry, must have somehow missed this too. For posterity there's also a Discord for support here if I'm failing to respond to anyone else: https://discord.gg/ZuFP9DB

CVars are global to the engine instance, so if you are controlling FOV via a CVar it will be shared across all game instances in a single-process play-in-editor session.

This shouldn't happen with multi-process or packaged game / server though since they would all have their own unique engine instances.

And in other news,

Updated to support UE 4.23! (Plugin version 1.7)

I know that this only came out today, but in 4.23.1 i am now getting a crash to desktop when changing from windowed to fullscreen mode....

I can run for example "r.setres 1920x1080f" in the console and its fine, but when i do it in either the example project or my own from the ui it crashes.
Borderless and windowed options are fine. Gotta be an easy fix

Any ideas?

I tried this out in 4.23.1 and was able to reproduce this crash switching between windowed and fullscreen in either direction, even with console commands. It seems though from what I tested that if you change resolution at the same time as changing to fullscreen it does not crash.

It also crashes in a blank project with no plugin, so I'll say this is definitely an engine bug in 4.23.1 and so unfortunately I can't really help with it.
You might have to switch back to 4.23.0 or wait for Epic to fix it, sorry!

Yes i just found this:

That's a pity. 4.23 has been such a buggy engine.

Thanks anyway!

Hello everyone, I've pushed a hotfix (1.7.1) changing the plugin load phase to PreDefault, which has fixed an issue some users were getting with the plugin not loading properly. If you run into any issues (especially load failures around '/Script/AutoSettings') please let me know!

Hello Sam Bonifacio,

I really like your plugin, because as a 3D artist it saves me a lot of time.
However, I noticed that animations are only played once. Here is an example:
I click "Quit", the animation plays, I click "No", the animation plays, I click "Quit" again and the animation doesn't play. Hopefully the screenshots will be sufficient to better understand the situation.
I have taken some directly from the example (like Category Changed).
How can I play animation everytime when I press a button?

EDIT: Window do still exist, it's just not visible and open animation will not play.

Hello,

If you're trying to play an animation when switching category I would suggest calling a Play Animation node from the CategoryChanged event.

Good luck

Auto Settings 1.8 Release Notes

New:

• UE 4.24 now supported
• Added helper functions to support usage of CVars as booleans, which are actually just integers with the value 0 or 1 under the hood
• Added a property to BindCaptureButton to control the Z-order of the prompt it creates, without having to override InitializePrompt

Fixed:

• Fixed a crash when trying to add a change callback for CVar that doesn't exist
• Fixed player's input mapping set being treated as customized even after resetting it to a default preset

Example project:

• Added Sensitivity setting to the example project, which controls both mouse and analog stick sensitivity

Note: There appears to be a bug in Unreal 4.24.0 which prevents plugins loading from the Project/Plugins directory in packaged builds if the project is Blueprint-only. This is not a problem with Auto Settings specifically, but consider installing the plugin to the engine or adding source to your project if you are running into this issue.
