Unable to package the game, compile errors.

[Ethan3481]

Hey,

I have been having a hard time packaging my game on Unreal Engine 5. Everything seems to work for me without any issues but the moment I try to package the game, I get compilation errors.

Log file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qHjM7XoJ45vUPbQo8Y_A0jtrI5w9TG2a/view?usp=sharing The errors I'm getting :-

PackagingResults: Error: Expecting to find a type to be declared in a module rules named 'VRM4U' in UE5Rules, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null. This type must derive from the 'ModuleRules' type defined by Unreal Build Tool.

PackagingResults: Error: Expecting to find a type to be declared in a module rules named 'VRM4U' in UE5Rules, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null. This type must derive from the 'ModuleRules' type defined by Unreal Build Tool.

UnrealEngine Version: UE5

Additional information:- For disclosure, I have already been through the video that was suggested in one of the issues thread earlier (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoooTbQbgx4)

I'd really appreciate some help.

Sincerely,

Ethan348.

Hi. From the logs, it looks like you are using UE4.25, is that correct?

VRM4U needs to be placed in the project folder. If you have it in the Engine folder, please move it.

Hey,

No I'm not using UE 4.25. I'm using Unreal Engine 5.0. Yes, VRM4U was in the Engine folder. The thing is, I tried the method earlier where I placed the plugin in the project folder. But upon searching for the plugin in the search. It didn't show up in the Unreal Editor.

I'll give it another try, might have missed a step. I'll let you know right away.

@ruyo I started packaging yet again. Surprisingly, the VRM4U plugin shows up now after moving it to the project folder.

The process is currently stuck at "Checking global shaders for platform Windows", hopefully everything works out.

Thank you for your help.

Okay, it failed after all these hours.

Following are the errors:-

There are actually more errors, but I listed the ones relevant to the plugin.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Probably due to the difference between the binary and source versions. Please refer to this page and specify the same date as the built binary when downloading the source. I will update the documentation.

[Ethan3481]

I just downloaded the source after following the instructions from the image above, let's see what happens now, I'll keep you updated.

Edit: I'll try it in a new project.

[Ethan3481]

I started a new project and the game can be packaged now. All the errors related to VRM4U are gone.

Thank you so much for your time @ruyo.

Edit: Any idea about the warnings though? What am I supposed to do exactly to avoid these:-

PackagingResults: Warning: The 'Developer' module type has been deprecated in 4.24. Use 'DeveloperTool' for modules that can be loaded by game/client/server targets in non-shipping configurations, or 'UncookedOnly' for modules that should only be loaded by uncooked editor and program targets (eg. modules containing blueprint nodes)

PackagingResults: Warning: The 'Developer' module type has been deprecated in 4.24.

[ruyo]

Please see the VRM4U.uplugin file.

This specification is for compatibility purposes only. Please replace it with UncookedOnly as shown in the comments. There are no packaging issues.

[Ethan3481]

Thank you so much @ruyo , seems like everything's been fixed now.
