Hello! Very nice project, congrats! but I make a new blank c++ project in Unreal, I copy the OceanPlugin Folder from your project in my Unreal 4.19.2 \UE_4.19\Engine\Plugins Folder , the plugin is on in editor and then I migrate from your Ocean Project, island map, the BP_Ocean blueprint only in my c++ project, in editor everything works well, even when I simulate the game, but when I push in editor the little fragmentated blue cube icon(Recompiles and reloads C++ code for game system on the fly) in toolbar, i get this

Also if i try to package for win 64 my project, after i mark the BP_Ocean blueprint for Exclusive nativisation, i get this UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): Parsing headers for MyProject_Testblue UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): Running UnrealHeaderTool "E:\Files\Unreal\MyProject_Testblue\MyProject_Testblue.uproject" "E:\Files\Unreal\MyProject_Testblue\Intermediate\Build\Win64\MyProject_Testblue\Development\MyProject_Testblue.uhtmanifest" -LogCmds="loginit warning, logexit warning, logdatabase error" -Unattended -WarningsAsErrors -install ed UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): E:/programe/UE_4.19/Engine/Plugins/OceanPlugin/Source/OceanPlugin/Classes/OceanManager.h(37) : LogCompile: Error: An explicit Category specifier is required for any property exposed to the editor or Blueprints in an Engine module.

Hi there, please follow the instructions on this video I made and you should be fine! https://youtu.be/1W6Z5XnUyAI

[Nickkkkkkkkkkk]

I want to tell you thanks. I follow your video and apply the steps and all problems are solved now, however I want to mention that in video from minute 8:15 when you right clicking on the TestOcean.uproject, in my case initially I don't have that options Generate Visual Studio project files, so I have to do extra research to find a solution for that, some solutions are only valid for diferent versions of unreal engine, for my version 4.19.2 I did the following : I copied UnrealVersionSelector.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Engine\Binaries\Win64 to the instal directory\UE_4.19\Engine\Binaries\Win64 and then click on it and press ok, after that I was able to see that contextual menu with Generate Visual Studio project files, so maybe you put this trick in your video because I spent a lot of time, trial and error in order to figure this. I will do some modifications to sky blueprint, that colors on the curves doesn't feel right to me, I will use a cheap shader for the sky, something unlit and with material parameter colection, I will modify horizont colors distribution for the sunset, to warms colors only in direction of the sun, in oposite direction must be cool colors in horizont. I will reduce mesh geometry are too many triangles, must be a geosphere(in 3dMax), whatever, thank you for your time and help.

Nice things went well. I don't have to do that extra step you mentioned and never did, since I always had Visual Studio installed in my machine. It is important to have it, since sometimes Epic will release a new engine version and all plugins need to be recompiled with Visual Studio to work, not just this one, but any other you might use in the future, since it is faster you recompile yourself than wait all developers which make plugins to do it in a timely manner. Be sure to join the Discord Server in case you encounter any other doubts. The Forum thread has it attached with user DotCam which is the author for this plugin.
