Maps workflow in 1.29_v1 #47

Closed noxy-k closed 2 years ago

noxy-k commented 2 years ago

Hi,

Is the map selection workflow working properly in 1.29? We had to update to 1.29 for r20.3 (preview) and it doesn't looks like the plugin generates the maps .json. I tried manually creating it and while it works for the default map, additional maps just dont work at all - returning an "INVALID" argument in d3.

Hi, there is very little difference between plugin versions 1.28 and 1.29 so I would be surprised if updating the plugin caused an issue, but it's possible there is a bug in the r20.3 prerelease. I'll investigate internally and let you know.

Are you making sure to load each map at least once and hitting 'Save Current' as you do so? The channel/schema for the map will only be written to the JSON if you load and save it.

noxy-k commented 2 years ago

I've just tested again on a blank project, created two maps and some channel definitions on each. Load + save. No .json file created by renderstream plugin.

Do you have a d3 license on the machine? After discussing this internally it seems it should still generate json files without a license, but if it's not then there could be a bug.

I just tried a blank UE project without a d3 license. I hit 'save current' in UE, json was saved fine. Is there anything in the log files relating to renderstream?

noxy-k commented 2 years ago

I tested 2 different machines: Machine A - regular computer, no d3 license - no json being generated and the following appears in log: LogRenderStreamEditor: Warning: RenderStreamLink unavailable, skipped GenerateAssetMetadata

Machine B - RX render node with all licenses - json generated as expected after saving any map.

twhittock commented 2 years ago

That sounds like d3 isn't installed on Machine A. It's a requirement to have d3 installed - it doesn't have to be licenced, just available - all the json saving code is built into d3's install.

noxy-k commented 2 years ago

Yep confirmed it works fine after installing d3 - is this mentioned anywhere or simply assumed?

Hi. Yes, this is documented in the plugins section of the user guide - https://help.disguise.one/Content/Configuring/Render-engines/RenderStream-Unreal.htm but it could do with being clearer.

This is solved and can be closed :)
