Cannot get teh plugin installed

[timothyBrake]

This seams like an awesome plugin but I have issues trying to install the plugin in UE4.9.2 (and also 4.8.3).

1. I did a git checkout of master.
2. Copied the BLUI to the plugin folder of UE (as the docs mention)
3. The docs says: "Copy the files located inside the 'shipping' folder... " but I cannot find the shipping folder in the BLUI branch. So I am not sure what to do here...
4. Start UE4 4.9.2 and enable the plugin.
5. After restart, a popup appears with text "Plugin missing opr incompatible: Missing or incompatible modules in BLUI plugin - would you like to disable it? You will no longer be able to open any assets created using it."

What must I do to use the plugin? Any help is more than welcome

Please download a zip distribution from the Release pages on Github. The repo does not include the binary files for CEF or the header files

Hi,

Thank you for the response but I still get an error. I am using UE4.9.2 - Windows. I downloaded the release as you said from here https://github.com/AaronShea/BLUI/releases. Tried installing it but no luck so far... I must be doing something wrong here... Here is what I did:

1. I removed the plugin from C:...EpicGames/4.9/Engine/Plugins
2. Downloaded the BLUI.3.1.Windows.Linux.CX
3. Unzipped it and copied the complete directory BLUI to C:...EpicGames/4.9/Engine/Plugins
4. Created new empty project with Starter Content
5. Edit > Plugins > UI > Enable BLUI and restart
6. Error: Missing or incompatible modules in BLUI plugin - would you like to disable it? You will no longer ...
7. As it does not work I deleted the BLUI from C:...EpicGames/4.9/Engine/Plugins
8. Copied the BLUI directory in "directory of project" > Plugins
9. Opened the project
10. Error: "Plugin 'BLUI' failed to load because module 'BLULoader' could not be found. Please ensure the plugin is properly installed, otherwhise consider disabling it..."

I have copied the complete unzipped directory BLUI to the Plugins directory so I am not sure what to do here. Is there a step that I missed? I only did the steps above, so do not assume I did any other steps like copy the something else somewhere, set a flag some where, installed anything else,... I would really like to use this awesome plugin!

Any help is much appreciated.

Kind regards, T

You must install the plugin at a project level, not into the Engine's plugin directory. C:/MyProjects/UE4Project/Plugins/BLUI

Hi,

I tried that (starting from point 8 in previous comment). I see the README mentions "Re-generate your project's Visual Studio file and load up the editor. Then check the plugin list to ensure it has been loaded!". I do not have Visual Studio as I am just using BluePrints. Maybe that is the issue?

[ashea-code]

There is your problem, it needs to be a C++ project to allow the plugin to compile in Visual Studio.

[timothyBrake]

Ok thanks, that solved the mystery. Any chance in making this plugin work without the need to compile in Visual Studio?

[ashea-code]

It's a code plugin, so it is required that you have visual studio installed, otherwise Unreal could never even compile the project.
