Thanks and glad that was helpful! Non-humanoid characters are hard to rig 😅

@@nancedevdiaries I've definitely been feeling that haha. I've had a little rigging experience here and there over the years, but I'm definitely no rigger. But I needed a quick way to animate some characters in UE5 for a project deadline so here we are 😂

As far as I know, it's allowed "You may feel free to use any of these systems or elements in your own games" at dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/sample-game-projects-for-unreal-engine. You have to comply with Unreal Engine End User License Agreement (EULA) at www.unrealengine.com/en-US/eula/unreal and www.unrealengine.com/en-US/eula/content. The relevant parts I found in the EULA are: "“Examples” means the code, artwork, or other content made available by us in the Samples and Templates folders in the install directory. "b. Distributing Examples" You may Distribute Examples (including as modified by you) in Source Code or object code to any third party." It's hard to find the correlation between commercial use and distribution, I'm not well versed in lawyer talk :D. But I've seen games or commercial projects that are based off Lyra. As much as I can find online the only things you may not do are: - Sell the assets by themselves (seems ok if they're part of a asset pack or project but not the main focus) - Use the assets in an engine other than Unreal Engine I'd love to also have a definitive answer to this question online and/or from an unreal rep but I trust the samples are fair use with the info I found online. So anyone don't hesitate to share if you find more concrete info. Thanks for the question!

Thank you!

I don't think so, since HLOD generation doesn't happen during runtime, and generating HLOD for an empty actor would not produce anything. I'd also like to find out more how to handle runtime spawned actors, specially if there's a lot and performance tanks. I'd think good LODs. Do share here if you find out :). On another note, level instances I'd be curious how HLODs work for those, haven't personally tested but I'd image they'd come with their own HLODs.

Could your actor have “Hidden in Game” checked? Or maybe it's streaming and not loaded and doesn't have HLODs?

Here's the updated 5.4 branch : github.com/NanceDevDiaries/ThumbnailToTextureTool/tree/5.4 I'm not sure what you mean by "level thumbnail captures" but it works with static meshes and blueprints. My older version works with most assets that have a thumbnail already but no options for background or transparency at github.com/NanceDevDiaries/ThumbnailToTextureTool/tree/1cc942cba4813c3e5726341e977177189b490fe1

yea same for me, an updated version would be lovely. :)

I was asking if it was able to turn the thumbnail captures of a .umap file, but now that I've tried it myself I see it can't sadly.

Thanks, happy to hear it's helpful! Interesting, could it be that your character has an item equipped on spawn and that's setting the linkedAnimLayer? Or in your ABP's AnimGraph in the LinkedAnimLayer node, in the details you might have set an "Instance Class".

​@@nancedevdiaries ​ Thanks, you're a star. It was the latter. I didn't realise I could get it to work without setting that. It's always the simple thing that go unnoticed and cause the head in brick wall scenario! Subbed to your Patreon :)

@@valmirius Awesome, glad that was it! Agreed on the brick wall scenario, happens a lot :D. Thanks for subbing :)

Good idea for a new tutorial, I'll make a note. In the meantime, you can add vfx and sfx as part of the swim montage as notifies :)

@@nancedevdiaries alright thanks just a tutorial in general about best practices for adding sounds and replicating and stuff would be amazing

I'll have to look into that, we could make use of the camera mode stack, so it takes care of blending in and out but I did make the camera mode in the volume separate. Good question, I sort of figured something related out with the rotation lag videos but I forget if it fixed the lerping between camera mode volumes that overlap.

@@nancedevdiaries It would be interesting to see how to do this. I understand how to do it in theory, but my knowledge of C++ is not enough.

Thanks Candace!! ❤️

Interesting! I wonder if it could be : - The ability's Net Execution Policy in the ability's class defaults is not set to 'Local Predicted' - Maybe the execution path doesn't lead to the Wait Target Data node on client, maybe there's a HasAuthority node on the way? I'd set breakpoints on the Client Ability and see what's going on. Good luck!

I totally relate with the brain being just tired after work, hard to feel creative even with a creative job after work to be honest! I was incredibly lucky to land a game job when there were not many options in my hometown but I've had to move since then to find jobs and get different experiences. That sounds exhausting, I'm impressed you have energy with the added responsibilities of being a parent to make games. I hope your passion project takes off too and you keep getting enjoyment out of it. Every little bit, every iteration pushes the project forward :). It feels amazing to see a game evolve, become itself, I've felt frustration how slow it was sometimes with a full time job. Saving and chipping away at my own project for years helped keep it alive and it's completely worth it.

Hi! I have a video that covers mana cost but not continuous cost at ruclips.net/video/bwg1yspDKg0/видео.html. On top of that video tutorial, to make a cost retrigger over time, you could commit the ability cost continuously with a timer (that's what I do for glide 'air' attribute personally) and end the ability if the cost fails. I honestly haven't found the "best" way to apply continuous cost, pleas share if you do :). Another way is that the ability with a cost itself triggers again and again like the Lyra fire ability but it might not fit for sprinting. That way the ability takes care of not starting if the cost check fails.

Thank you so much! Your channel and Patreon look awesome!

Thank you so much!

Thanks! Valve as in Half-life, Deadlock?

Bienvenue! Tu as reconnu mon accent francophone :D! Mon français parlé est un peu rouillé. Désolé du délai, ça va me prendre un peu de temps a trouver mon tempo et je suis pas sûre si je veux déjà offrir du tutorat, ou sessions 1-on-1. Je suis 100% dévouée a mon jeu et faire des vidéos tutoriels au moment, peut être l'an prochain. Je peux prévoir vouloir être consultante un moment donné quand même, surement un nouveau tier sur Patreon, ou Paypal. J'ai beaucoup a apprendre volet 'travailler a mon propre compte' :). Entretemps, voila un discord super utile pour Lyra (au cas ou tu es pas déjà dans le server) discord.gg/dtDQ5g72 J'aime bien aider si c'est de quoi que j'ai tombe dessus déjà quand même en général.

@@nancedevdiaries Merci pour ta reponse. Pas de soucis je comprends tout a fait ^^

Thanks! Fantastic idea, will write it down. My next subject touches a bit on it on the GPU side with HLODs :)

@@nancedevdiaries Is it about Unreal Insights?

I'm not sure about it keeping the Lyra weapons, but this RUclipsr has a few video tutorials on the subject www.youtube.com/@xultix. I saw their result video a while ago and looks like they broke down their process in a few videos, I hope that helps :) ruclips.net/video/3w46tQFNYM8/видео.html

You could duplicate and repurpose some weapon animations and edit with the control rig if you don't have new animations ruclips.net/video/F47k9QFr7Gg/видео.html. As for sword in Lyra, www.youtube.com/@xultix seems to have that covered.

Thanks! That would be an interesting one to dive in. So far closest I have is this one where I migrate Echo from GASP (I had to google that haha didn't know gameplay animation sample project had an acronym) at ruclips.net/video/q_lq0HmcVZE/видео.html. I agree it would be awesome to get that "free" traversal like vaulting/nice motion matching library etc. into Lyra. It probably would be a difficult merge since Lyra has its animation layers per weapon, but I might attempt it some day. I wonder if someone already looked into it online, if you find anything, please share here :). I haven't played with GASP in multiplayer, it probably behaves well, if they have that figured out, then that would be best.
