Default Screen does not seem to kick in. about loadingscreen HOT 29 CLOSED

4.12 released, now what ? :)

from loadingscreen.

Just found this plugin - and although it is not working with any map changes / default screen, seeing how it works with the startup screen looks great. Thanks for all the work you're putting in to it, I look forward to the 4.12 version.

Hi
Same problem here
the startup screen shows but not the Default between maps

Thanks

from loadingscreen.

Also having the same issue works when loading into the game but as soon as you try to load another map its a no go

from loadingscreen.

Hmm, does anything show up? No text, no loading throbber? Just black?

from loadingscreen.

I get nothing, I added a LOG message in the code and I can see that log but nothing else, I was trying to figure it out but got busy doing something else, that's all I tested

from loadingscreen.

We get nothing as well. I'm not sure but it seems like it either is being overwritten(if that's possible), or it just doesn't start the Movie... I'm not too sure what is happening.

from loadingscreen.

Are all of you using movies, or just text/texture?

from loadingscreen.

I'm just using an image plus text

from loadingscreen.

Sorry, we are just using a text and a throbber.

Looks like it's going to require some improvements to the movie player.

from loadingscreen.

That doesn't sound like a quick fix. Do you know when we could be expecting something that might get it working again? Thanks

from loadingscreen.

Will fix it in 4.12 - basically need to add an event to movie player to request setup of the loading screen if it hasn't been already setup when it attempts to launch the load screen. Depending on PreMapLoad is basically the problem, because you're dependent on the call order of the delegate to setup the movie player before it gets called.

I'm also having issues with the Default between maps screen. However, I noticed some strange behavior that no one mentioned. I find that it will actually display every other time you do an open command. I loaded a map from my main menu and it didn't display. Then I disconnected (loading the MainMenu map) and it displayed. At first I thought it was something special with my MainMenu map. But that is not the case. When I traveled around with "open" commands I found the loading screen displayed on alternating "open" commands. So one time it displays, next time it doesn't, rinse, repeat. This might be the behavior OP mentions when he says it works on "some" maps.

from loadingscreen.

yeah, that matches what i would expect, because of the order, it's setting up the -next- map, instead of the current map, because of the PreLoadMap call order.

from loadingscreen.

Strange on my end, none of the visuals is showing for the load map on mine. No Text, no image, no movies being played. I did check the PreLoad and PostLoad debug checks and they are being called.... just for some reason nothing is happening visually. But i did see a recent fix with this in 4.12 preview 2 . Apparently, it seems to be this

Fixed! UE-30085 Loading Screens Play Before PreLoadMap Finishes

from loadingscreen.

Nick,

Can we only grab the CL# 2959701 from Perforce if we are on 4.11.2? Would only grabbing this changelist make the loading screens working or do we need to grab the whole 4.12 update?

Thanks

from loadingscreen.

Sure - but it won't just fix everything. It requires changes to this plugin to take advantage of the improvements, been waiting to add those fixes to github until 4.12 is closer to completion.

from loadingscreen.

There are some other issues I'm investigating that I plan to find some time to solve some night - my choice to use UFonts might be a problem. if the UFont is first loaded on the main thread, the linker remembers the thread it was loaded on - and explodes when it attempts to load the bulk data containing the ttf data. So... gota do something about that.

from loadingscreen.

Sounds good. Thanks a lot for this, will be waiting for the fix. I guess 4.12 will not come out for the next couple of weeks anyway right?

from loadingscreen.

Pushed out some changes - should work in 4.12 now.

from loadingscreen.

@nickdarnell thanks you!

from loadingscreen.

@nickdarnell Thanks! Excited to use this!

from loadingscreen.

It certainly works now, however when packaging (Win32 or 64 Shipping) I get the error

"Assertion failed: IsValid() [File:D:\Build++UE4+Release-4.12+Compile\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Public\Templates\SharedPointer.h] [Line: 728]"

and the package fails.

Also, I noticed that the font and font size no longer actually change anything.

from loadingscreen.

Callstack? The font thing is expected - if it is causing cross thread problems from the linker being used on two threads. @Kenomica

from loadingscreen.

@nickdarnell - Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate your work on this.

It's definitely this plugin causing the package fail. When disabled, the game packages fine - (I use other plugins such as Rama's Victory Plugin, Fmod,etc.)

There is no crash, the loading screen works great when playing in standalone through the editor (Doesn't show up in PIE, but I think I recall that being intended behaviour) but I cannot package the game.

I've attached the Output Log.

from loadingscreen.

It's crashing - cooking happens in another process, so it's just silently dying :) Odd that there's no callstack, though are you on a binary build with no symbols downloaded from the launcher?

from loadingscreen.

Ah, okay. I Never realised that.

Yeah, binary build - just checked and no symbols downloaded. Just to test, I'll download the symbols and check again.

EDIT : Tried it, same result.

from loadingscreen.

Fixed. Was crashing because slate app wasn't initialized and I forgot to check.
