Hey! Honestly I'd wonder the same if I found some other course on Udemy :D Sorry but I don't participate in the Udemy discount program because the 37% commission rate from such sales leaves me with less than 4 dollars from this 10$ price and that doesn't work well for the course that is niche :/ BUT, I'm going to make a Black Friday sale and it's gonna be at least 30% off so the price may be more attractive to you then

@@techartcorner thx for answer

AC Syndicate:)

Asset validator implementations are shown in the course but when it comes to Unreal in general, I plan keep publishing some tuts of the course on YT

Could be an old python interpreter in your VS Code setup. You can set an interpreter per project/workspace

Hey! It's parth of Unreal Engine 5 Python Automation course but you can link the other one in the comment because I'm not sure if I found the correct one. Currently the only validator that's published is naming prefix validator but there will be tutorials on texture resolution and triangle count valdiation as well. Is it good for optimizing game? I think it is. It helps non technical users a lot and reduces workflow but you should still remember about actual testing and profiling. @TechArtAid has few tutorials about it which i can certainly recommend.

Lock and version control related stuff can be done with Post Import action - you can do it with this plugin (free, C++/BP/Python) ryandowlingsoka.com/unreal/post-asset-import-rules/ When it comes to modifying assets, I'm afraid it cannot be done with Python and falls a bit out of course scope. Interchange Framework is great and can be used with Python and Blueprints but if you need custom feature, you need to implement it in C++. But don't be discouraged. Interchange Framework C++ code is way cleaner and easier to read than old Fbx importer ;)

Have you enabled the plugin?

UE ships with NodeJS install files and installs Node when you enable the plugin. I suppose there was some issue. It's hard to tell what to do next but I'd try: a) uninstall other Node instances if you already have Node locally b) run Unreal as administrator

I haven't tried that but try launching it with some Blueprint first. If it's exposed to BP nodes then you can either remotely call a Blueprint Function or declare Python @uclass that does the same

Node is bundled with Unreal, no need to worry about the version. Nothing comes to my mind, any chance that default ports (you can change them in settings) are taken by another process? Maybe it doesn't handle it.

​@@techartcorner Thanks! It seems that you are right, for some reason EPIC documentation in UE5.3 is outdated :/ They mention there we should install manually the NODE.js old versions.. As you mentioned, once I reinstall my Engine and just activated the plugin- it worked! Thanks for answering and your help!

I use Node 20.11 one one computer and on the other one, I don't have Node installed at all. It should be bundled with Unreal. Looks like something went wrong on Epic side, try reporting it on the forum

@@techartcorner Thank you for your advice.

I usually develop code either in UE console or using remote debugger but you could send code directly to UE as well. There is some built in Remote Execution but there is very little sources on it: forums.unrealengine.com/t/python-blender-maya-to-ue4-using-remote-execution/138414/7 discourse.techart.online/t/how-to-send-python-command-from-maya-to-ue5-via-its-remote-execution-api/16119 I've heard of succesfull use of rpyc module in one of companies. It seems pretty simple to implement but I never tried it. I find rpyc less advanced than grpc but on the other hand, grpc is overcomplicated when it comes to just running code from UE.

Keep in mind that Python is quite flexible. If none of those solutions satisfies you, you can always create your own one. You would have to expose some function that expects payload using Remote Control API. This payload could be executed using `exec` or `runpy` :)

Good tip! There's no perfect way, it's just a set of tools ;)

From my experience adding the folder to the project causes a huge performance drop :/ I tried that before on PyCharm 2021 and 2022

@@techartcorner So what I've done is created a package and placed the .py file as .pyi file in there. Just had zero luck adding it to the paths on the current PyCharm 2024.1. Seems like it's not as snappy as other autocompletes but 'cause my machines abit of a beast it's workable. I'll update if I get the suggested way or any other ways working at some point

Hey! I recently had the same issue! Try updating PyCharm to 2024.1.3

Hey! Python API is an editor-only feature. The docs aren't specific about it but I'd say that Remote Control API is alsa editor-only as it's part of Virtual Production pipeline and not an in-game feature.

Hey, it's a bit different with PIP modules than with you own Unreal Python API code. You can try creating a plugin with module like in this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5PafayHqa2qldE But there may be also another way. I noticed that PythonFoundationPackages plugin has Content/Python/Lib folder with module wheels that are later installed into Project/Intermediate/PipInstalls It havent investigated it yet but it may be another valid way of installing modules into the project - the "Epic way" ;)

Good question. The honest answer is that I wanted to demonstrate AssetImportTask on something more complex than a Texture file ;) Coming back to Interchange, I think I should dive deeper into the topic of Interchange because recent Epic notes stated that "In 5.4 the import of FBX assets is considered complete, ".

@@techartcornerMakes sense :) - it's still very much in development and subject to change. I'm eager to see what others come up with. looks like some functions allow for processing on another thread. fingers crossed.

Create some launch.json anyway and just type/paste content from the video. try to run it regardless of the name it shows (or just restart VS Code) VSC will probably parse it and update available options

Damn, that's something I need a lot but I can't imagine my self squeeze more things into my calendar. Never been so busy :/

01 - Would be quite simple :) Just add an actor to the level and move it to given coordinates. If asset was not in the project yet, import it with AssetImportTask. Both of those can be done in Python as well as in Blueprints so there would be no issue with exposing it to REST-like Remote Control API. You can probably do it with Remote Control Preset and WebApp, especially if you stick to Blueprints, but I would personally pick Python and implement my own interface without auto generated WebApp. Honestly, your question sounds like asked by someone who wants to create a bridge between Unreal and Blender or Maya so I guess in that case you want to omit WebApp anyway ;) 02 - This one seems tougher I think building a deliverable is not exposed to Python API nor Blueprints. If there is some UE command for it, making a workaround would be simple. Other than that, you'll either have to make workaround in C++ (C++ also works with Remote Control API) or make some other solution that executes Unreal Automation Toolkit. If I was making a build system, I would go with UAT and I wouldn't even try to use Remote Control API here but I get that you may have some specific idea that you want to develop. In that case you can always try making some remote call with Remote Control API or literally whatever API that let's you execute the code (can be a Flask server as well as just ssh connection) and run build command. Here are some UE 4.27 UAT snippets but UAT is also available in UE 5 so I guess commands didn't change much nerivec.github.io/old-ue4-wiki/pages/how-to-package-your-game-with-commands.html

Hey, you're right but if I remember correctly I mentioned it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6Camn6ojJyZgcU I was treating it as structured a playlist/course and I completely forgot to mention the prerequisites in the video

Hey, I hope this will solve your issue: ToolMenus class has few useful methods: - unregister_owner_by_name(self, owner_name: Name) - remove_section(self, menu_name: Name, section: Name) - remove_menu(self, menu_name: Name) - remove_entry(self, menu_name: Name, section: Name, name: Name) With those you can unregister any menu entry or even whole menu and all it's children. When you register a new menu, it's name is "parent name" + "new menu name" So for instance if I extend `ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.StaticMesh` with `asset_context_menu.add_sub_menu("Custom.Menu","CustomMenu","SomeName","")`, then I should refer to it as 'ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.StaticMesh.SomeName' Knowing that name, we can unregister all sub entries and the menu: ``` menus = unreal.ToolMenus.get() menus.unregister_owner_by_name("ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.StaticMesh.SomeName") menus.remove_menu("ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.StaticMesh.SomeName") ``` I recommend refreshing widgets after that operation but my tests show that it's not necessary: ``` menus.refresh_all_widgets() ``` A protip: If you can't find tool menu name, you don't have to list it using a script. Switch commands to CMD mode and type `ToolMenus.Edit` It will show names (and a gear icon that opens menu editor) in the interface
