Chameleon Post Process

[SUMFX]

I'm running OpenSUSE 15.0 with an NVIDIA 1080, SM5.
I tested it on a laptop with Windows 7 and a Quadro K2000M and the result is the same.
In Windows I'm launching with UE4Editor.exe -vulkan. For Linux Vulkan is the default.

Here's a detailed error log.

Hi,

The problematic parts are these circled functions below. You can bypass these two functions in effect materials for an easy and hopefully temporary fix but as a side effect, you won't be able to use the advanced features section. Eg: blending, custom depth, and stencil settings etc. I'll try to find a workaround for this problem but unfortunately no ETA yet.

I think I've fixed the problem on my end. Waiting for a confirmation from another user and if it works, I'll share the fix with you too.

1. Unhook the MF_Depthmasking node from every material in the materials folder and reconnect the nodes as if it hadn't been there. this is so the editor won't crash for the next steps. this means you should ignore the part where SumFX said to unhook the blendingnode as we are actually going to keep it this time so you can have blending effects work otherwise they won't work if you were to do what SumFX said with that node, and then ONLY AFTER you unhooked the MF_Depthmasking node and rewired the nodes of ALL materials,(if you don't do it for all materials first, you will end up with crashes so fair warning!):
2. Open MF_Setblending Material Function.
3. Click custom node, it's the really tall, green one with all the stuff plugged into it.
4. Delete all the code in there. Replace it with this code,

     if (BlendMode ==  1.0f) {        return B1;    } if (BlendMode ==  2.0f) {        return B2;    } if (BlendMode ==  3.0f) {        return B3;    } if (BlendMode ==  4.0f) {        return B4;    } if (BlendMode ==  5.0f) {        return B5;    } if (BlendMode ==  6.0f) {        return B6;    } if (BlendMode ==  7.0f) {        return B7;    } if (BlendMode ==  8.0f) {        return B8;    } if (BlendMode ==  9.0f) {        return B9;    } if (BlendMode ==  10.0f) {        return B10;    } if (BlendMode ==  11.0f) {        return B11;    } if (BlendMode ==  12.0f) {        return B12;    } if (BlendMode ==  13.0f) {        return B13;    } if (BlendMode ==  14.0f) {        return B14;    } if (BlendMode ==  15.0f) {        return B15;    } if (BlendMode ==  16.0f) {        return B16;    } if (BlendMode ==  17.0f) {        return B17;    } if (BlendMode ==  18.0f) {        return B18;    } if (BlendMode ==  19.0f) {        return B19;    } if (BlendMode ==  20.0f) {        return B20;    }    return B0;

5. Compile & save it.
6. Almost all the materials and blending effects should work now, with some exceptions.

However we must wait on a fix for the depthmasking from SumFX in the meantime. Once we have the depthmasking fix, we need to replug the depthmasking node back to how it was originally. Then after that we need a fix for the drawing, custom depth highlighter, infected & (actor featurette which crashes the editor.)

I got it to compile with this work around! Thank you. Id like to add that you can save some mouse clicks if you move the connection by holding ctrl + left click. Instead of breaking and creating a new one. Is this an upstream bug with the engine's Vulkan implementation?

Greetings, Comic effect does not work correctly - (Blending Opacity) does not work in 4.21 after latest update.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting it. Fix has been submitted.

Hi,

Can you please say where to look to fix it manualy?

Sure. There were unconnected nodes in the Comic material, just before emission input. You need to connect them in the same order as their visual flow.
