Your a scholar and a gentleman

This video has been remade: kzread.info/dash/bejne/poOtktqSkbOZp6Q.html The GameLift Client SDK has recently been updated. Therefore, please make sure you are using the version of the SDK used in this video rather than the newest version. You can find that older version here: github.com/YetiTech-Studios/UE4GameLiftClientSDK/tree/688cc418cc3b7fe8e0eaae5aefbb3758ddc89120 Since Unreal 4.22 and Visual Studio 2019 is out now, follow this unreal forum post for updates and missing details from this video: answers.unrealengine.com/questions/884106/view.html Something I forgot to mention in the video is that make sure to have your AWS CLI configured with a user different than the one made in this video. The user configured with the AWS CLI should have admin privileges. The reason is that you will need more privileges to upload the build to gamelift as well as do other things on aws from the command line. You should still make a separate user with only the permissions stated in this video since those will be the permissions of the players of your game. The IAM policies can be found here: docs.aws.amazon.com/gamelift/latest/developerguide/gamelift-iam-policy-examples.html

Yetti Studios sdk is outdated, use github.com/chris-gong/gamelift-client-sdk-ue4-cpp instead. Also for 4.24.2 > you will need to fix errors in the code with some include directories, the first of which will be #include "ModuleManger.h". This fix will be #include "Modules/ModuleManger.h". If you use the search function in vs you can find the proper module and it should have foldername / in front of it as the folder under the public directory. Others are Interface/iPlugins and Windows/WindowsPlatform. Check out the discord for errors.

Thanks for these great tutorials, I just have two suggestions : 1- in the project .cs file change the order of the plugins and write the client version first for example : `PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "UMG", "GameLiftClientSDK", "GameLiftServerSDK" });` 2- You don't need to upload the client version .exe for the server so after five server files copied in WindowsNoEditor\Agar\Binaries\Win64 you can delete the default .exe & .pdb files

Im really new here so forgive the dumb question but: If you handed out the launcher to people could you have it boot to a login screen that auto pushes updates once logged in rather than immediately hitting the game engine? I'm guessing yes but would require some 3rd step in there somewhere involving hard coding which is way over my head.

Sorry for the late reply, but yes, you can make an http request in your game once it boots up to some endpoint that contains the latest version of your game. If the version of your game does not match, then you can make another http request to another endpoint to update your game. Not sure if that helps.

If I only intend to use the game with gamelift, and never stand-alone, is there any point of having the #if WITH_GAMELIFT at the top of the gamemode? Could I just remove it?

@Flopperam

3 жыл бұрын

Hey really sorry for the late reply. The #WITH_GAMELIFT macro is defined in the gamelift server SDK and is only set to true in server builds. Therefore, classes in the gamelift server sdk can only be accessed in server only code wrapped in a #if WITH_GAMELIFT ... #endif block. The reasoning behind this is that due to the server SDK only being built on server builds, code that uses stuff in the server SDK, if not wrapped in the macro block, will cause the project to not compile on non server builds. You can change this by modifying the GameLiftServerSDK.Build.cs file so that the sdk gets included in non server builds but this seems a bit unnecessary since you usually won't be using the server sdk in non server builds, for e.g. client builds. Hope that helps. To summarize, the macro is meant to provide a separation between client code and server code specific to the GameLift Server SDK in classes that overlap between client and server builds

Hey Krystian, I would recommend watching our new GameLift Unreal Engine tutorials since we no longer use the client sdk: kzread.info/dash/bejne/poOtktqSkbOZp6Q.html

I tried several times but keep getting a _warning_ when building my project out for WIndows 64bit using Unreal 4.22 and VS 2017. "...\Plugins\GameLiftServerSDK\Source\GameLiftServerSDK\GameLiftServerSDK.Build.cs: warning: Referenced directory 'D:\UnrealEngine-4.22\Engine\Source\GameLiftServerSDK\Public' does not exist." The GameLift plugins are obviously not in my engine, just my project. I don't know how to change my build.cs file to look at the right folders. Is this happening to everyone or just me? Everything still builds fine and I can even upload to GameLift and create a fleet. I just get an error after AWS processes my build. This is the only lead I have as to why it is not working.

My dependency _warnings_ were resolved by replacing lines in the various build.cs files. _"GameLiftServerSDK/Public"_ and _"GameLiftServerSDK/Private"_ I replaced with _System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(System.IO.Path.Combine(ModuleDirectory, "Public"))_ and _System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(System.IO.Path.Combine(ModuleDirectory, "Private"))_ This uses the local module directory from where the .cs file is run and not the engine directory.
