SDK 'Play in Editor' working?

[11_HARLEY_11]

Hi all,
has anyone managed to fly around there own level yet? I tried putting a ROplayerStart in and hitting the play in editor button but get this error.

'couldn't spawn player Engine.GameMessage.FailedPlaceMessage'

I might be wrong but I thought we could fly around using PIE.

It works on my computer. I just click "Play from here" in the 3D view and it loads an instance of RO2 and I hit escape and I'm in game.

I still have to figure out how to place weapons though. Is that done through external load-out configs?

 

[11_HARLEY_11]

If I try that way it crashes after a few seconds unfortunately.

No idea about weapon placement but I'd be surprised if it's working in this current version...but then again running the level your way wasn't meant to work either. *shrug*

 

[MacMillan]

The editor still crashes after testing, so I'll have to restart it, which is a bit annoying.

I've been trying to get weapons with the use of triggers and inventory sequences, but no luck so far. Since it's all buggy you can never be quite sure if you're doing something wrong or it's just not working because it's beta.

 

[11_HARLEY_11]

Yeah i hear ya.

OK yay it worked for me, by doing the 'play from here' you mentioned. I was trying PIE and play in viewport and both crashed but hadn't tried that one. Like you said it crashes when finished but thats good enough for me for a while.

Hey is snapping working with static meshes for you? Its working for brushes but SM's are just swinging in the wind for me. Got all the snap ticks ticked down the right corner but its not giving up the joy. Am I forgetting something?

It's still just the SDK Preview. It's not fully out yet.

So what does it include:

- All of the Unrealscript code for the game
- The Unreal editor

What works:
- You should be able to compile the Unrealscript code and play around with that
- With levels you can open, edit, build, save, and fly around in them

What doesn't work or hasn't been tested:
- Pretty much everything else
- You can't play levels yet. If you start them up in PIE (play in editor) you can fly around in the level, but the editor will crash if you try and spawn by choosing a team. The levels made in the editor won't run within the live build of the game yet either.
- Mutators may or may not work, we haven't tested creating/running them with this SDK yet

I seem to have that same problem, yes. So far I only noticed it with static actors. Snap works with brushes, skeletal meshes, InterpActors and probably a few more.

I'll probably just wait with the Kismet stuff until the official SDK is out. Most likely I'll be wasting time on stuff that doesn't work in the beta.

Yeah we know, but there's no harm asking each other what's actually functioning and what's not. Snapping SM's (a fundamental sdk/udk function it seems is not), so that's good to know, I thought I was doing something wrong.

Good to know, thanks for confirming.

Yeh I know but if you looked at my quote I was answering your question.

Was I doing something wrong?

Not at all mate, just a misunderstanding me thinx.

Ramm said PIE was working as you highlighted in your quote "If you start them up in PIE (play in editor) you can fly around in the level"

That's why I was asking if anyone had got it working as it wasn't for me.

Most likely the player classes will be Actor Classes--placeable map objects--that can be edited for weapon loadout and numbers: one commander, two SL for 32 players, etc.

So in the properties of the placeable classes will be weapon loadout properties. Anyway that's how it was done in RO, you put all these markers on the map somewhere for the 'order of battle' that had no other function than to tell the game how many dudes and what weapons.

Look in your world info... you set up squad leaders, teams and loadouts there. Not like old RO and on some maps if you look there are a million player starts.... I think Pavlovs or Commissars.. it's quite confusing

looks like play in game will be fixed in upcoming update!

If you open up the properties of the Static Mesh (once you have dragged it into the viewport & before you do anything else) one of the options: Actor properties / advanced / ed should snap. Tick that & it will work, as far as I know you need to do it eveytime you insert a new SM though :*(

Thanks Verbii!
Hopefully it's not going to stay that way eh.

what ive been doing is using the UDK (sept build i thimk) in parallell with RO2SDK and comparing an action that doesnt seem to work in RO2 with UDK and often this lets me discover the solution (like snap to grid) and find the other (not working yet ) bits, and (of course) showing up my lack of knowledge by needing to search UDK and hourences tuts ;-P

New patch just released and notting about the SDK in it . Oh well


quietly walks back to his corner

 

[Le0]

The RO2 game and the RO2 SDK are pretty much two different entities so they will most likely not patch both at once. Also I still think the SDK is of lower priority than fixing the game bugs Patience sir

 

[LordGleedo]

Does the 'Play from here' for you guys actually let you run around in the level or just float? I can only float which isn't much use for checking out size related things.

 

[Drecks]

Play in editor let us run around and do what we want.

What did you already add in your level ?
