Very small typo at 5:54 in the subtitle at the bottom. It should say "without" instead of "with out". Also, whenever Unreal Engine updates, just do a "git pull origin " in command prompt to get the latest version of the branch you're on and rebuild after running Setup.bat and GenerateProjectFiles.bat again.

At 6:33, people have told me that with newer versions of Unreal Engine, you may have to install the "Desktop Development with C++" and "Universal Windows Platform development" workloads instead of installing multiple individual components separately. Those workloads may include extra components that you don't need, but they will make sure that everything you do need is installed. And you may also need to install the "C++ (v142) Universal windows platform tools" individual component separately, but I'm not 100% about this because the two additional workloads might be enough.

I believe we cover how to change between different engine versions at around 5:32 in the video. Please let me know if that doesn't answer you question.

So many plugins seem to be incompatible with the source build version of UE. Would I have to always place the plugin and rebuild the engine time and time again? It literally took me half the day just to build the engine. Would their be a faster method to get any new plugin I find to be compatible with the source build? Does 8:59 (building a project file) take a long time to compared to the initial building of the engine?

@Flopperam

Жыл бұрын

If you place a plugin into the engine then you have to regenerate the project files for the engine, which will unfortunately trigger a rebuild of the engine. It's like when adding a plugin to a project, in order for the plugin to be recognized you have to regenerate the visual studio solution file. In terms of time taken, it'll take a similar amount of time as it took for the initial build. This is why I personally add plugins on a per-project-basis rather than directly to the engine. Their might be a faster way to add a plugin to the engine but I'm just not aware of it.

It shouldn't take as long when placing it in the project. Should just be regenerating the project files after modifying the projects build.cs, uproject, and whatever other files need to be modified, then building the project in visual studio should only trigger a build of the project. How many modules is it building when doing it this way? If it's taking hours then maybe you're doing "rebuild all" which might trigger a engine rebuild.

I think it's because when running the bat/sh scripts and building the engine, a lot of links are made between binary files that make the engine run only on a particular machine. I could be wrong about that but that's generally why if you want to share a custom source engine build with other people, Unreal typically recommends making an installed/rocket build instead.

Downloading the zip is fine too. I saw before that you couldn't git clone the repo. With regards to that, make sure that you linked your github account with your epic games account successfully. A lot of people forget to click on a link in an email for this step.

A few things to check for here: 1) Make sure that you are signed into a Github account connected to your Epic Games account. 2) if you don't have a Github account connected to your Epic Games account then connect the accounts by going to the epic games home page like we do in the video. 3) After connecting the accounts through the epic games website, make sure to check your email because epic games will send you a link that you have to click on to confirm the connection. Let me know if you're still having trouble after addressing those points.

Whopping 77 GB between visual studio and the source code after you have run setup.bat to pull an additional 12 Gigs down on top of the 8.18 for the source. I do not recommend you attempt to do this unless you are on a fiber connection or above 500 megabits. Even on fiber going 67 MB/s it took me 3 hours to download before I could build.

As for uninstalling, if it's a source build, then you can just delete it off your hard drive. If it was installed from the epic games launcher, then you can uninstall it from there.

@@AnantShah001 For Unreal Engine 4.26.1, you don't have to do the git checkout command. It's the latest version so just doing git clone github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git will work. After that, you can go straight to running the Setup.bat and GenerateProjectFiles.bat files, then building the engine in Visual Studio. The git checkout command is only for switching between different versions of unreal engine. As for the Multiplayer with Blueprints plugin you are referring to, I am not affiliated with the group that made the plugin so I can't provide it to you for free. It's not an official Epic Games plugin as it was created by a third-party group. It's technically not needed for communicating with AWS services as I use HTTP requests in Unreal Engine to call AWS Lambda functions via API Gateway endpoints. However, I won't tell you to not purchase the plugin as I have had no experience with it. Hope that helps.
