Youre amazing! All ur tutorials helped me get better. To make my own rayman fangame❤

[@GorkaGames]

thank you so much!!

[@blakegrove7996]

**To anyone who gets the “Commandlet” error when trying to convert to world partitioning -> -Close your level. -Find your level in your content folder. -Right click on level. -find “Import World Partition streaming” should be one of the last. And you should be good at to go.

​@GorkaGames can you show us how to make a spherical planet that is destructable like a smooth minecraft? No need to get crazy with different terrains, but if you could show how to do more than 1 "overland" terrain and 1 "underground" terrain, I would be forever greatful! I like how minecraft is coded to not render block faces that aren't exposed, but how do you do it when it's not just blocks? A smooth(ish) landscape, with seamless boundaries above/below ground would be amazing as heck!

[@GES1985]

Would the "world partitions" be perfect squares, or would they be the shapes formed by latitude and longitude? (Skewed rectangles/triangles to fit a globe)

[@dondahighhh12]

The Voxel plugin will help you, its expensive

[@DudeMan4200]

will this sort of size of map render in as you move or is that an option that i have to turn on? thanks for video

[@EfnceeCS]

Hey Gorka, Im at the point where I want to put some Grass on the Map but I cant find the Landscape Grass Type Asset at 20:35, can u help me? I really would like to finish this Video fully to the end :) Great Video as always. Learning so much from it!

[@bronwynbunt5417]

I found a other way, basically right-click in the Content Browser. From the displayed context menu, go to Foliage > Landscape Grass Type. Name it and then open it. Add a array element and then add the grass mesh, save it. Then go back to the landscape blueprint and just add the Foliage to the Landscape grass blueprint and continue the video from there.

[@siuilaonarach4546]

@@bronwynbunt5417 Absolute Legend. I was about to stumble through trying to do that myself but your instructions are so precise, thank you.

[@L3gend_G5]

Love your channel you are what helps me make my first game with a story through the rpg series also are you adding more to the rpg series after part 39 like animals, maps, and characters objects for the quests how you add cutscenes because every good game has to have cutscenes right?

[@GES1985]

A good cutscene is awesome to watch twice. After twice, 99% of people skip. I wouldn't waste effort on cutscenes if you're a solo developer. Your time is better spent on polishing your game functions. However, if you just have to have them, I hope yours are worth watching 3 times+ :)

[@3dSeal]

Idk if you remember when i said you're making ark 2 slowly with these tutorials but with every tutorial I'm more sure😅

[@semmert]

when you converted the level to world partition, I see there was also a "default HLOD layer" that was created and placed in the world settings tab. did this actually create an HLOD so that when you stand on top of a mountain, you don't see the landscape in the distance (outside of your grid) is missing? Or is that still an extra step that you have to do?

[@Reg961]

9:07 cauple seconds? it took me 5 hours xDD

[@yoyobird8427]

its cool. but how does one remove areas of assets now to install buildings and such?

[@redwolf2901]

Been following your UNreal tutorial videos for a while now, and found you have the best tutorials. One area that's still very vague to me is using plugins and assets, can these be used in own projects released freely or commercially? It's something I am trying to understand.

[@oddacood]

Just read the info when buying assets

[@Gigabyto6SF]

how can i do to add a road spline, and overwrite areas with trees please

[@TheManOfHamburguers]

Hey man, Im trying to use sculpt to make mountains now, but i cant, can u help me with it ? And like, how do work wth the landscape after i do the blueprint brush ?

[@Radwalls]

Gorka, what would you recommend to do if my open world will have a top level (like a cloud level) and a sub level (like a cave level) and I want them all to be real time accessible? Should I create 3 world partitions? I don't think that's possible is it? Thanks for this awesome tutorial Gorka!

[@trentellis5199]

You figure anything out regarding this? Would love to know!

[@gatheringmatter4289]

Anyone else have the problem of the grass not working? I followed that section of the vid twice. Everything is the same, but the grass doesnt render.

do you think i can make this kind of thing but i can change the seed with maybe like a blueprint every time i hit play, and there is like a loading screen?

[@krispyyy.k__7084]

Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color/colour ‘green’. Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. The grasses include the "grass" of the family Poaceae. This family is also called Gramineae. The family also include some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[1] These three families are not closely related but all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style. The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow very tall, such as Bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[2] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion). Evolution of grass Graminoids include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves).[3] Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy to most animals

I just started a map using their "open world" option since converting a map to world partition seems to be broken in 5.3 (still). But now my character just falls through the world after I run around for some time. I'm assuming it's happening when I move from the original loaded "tiles" to another tile. The tile is rendering for me, but I just fall through it. They're really batting 1000 with this trash engine.

[@cvspvr]

MY EYES!

[@iansmith3301]

probably the worst way to build an open world map, worsened by the fact that you're telling people to do things without telling them why with broken English. Your not even applying the landscape material correctly. But at least you think it's pretty cool

[@nocfenix]

If that's the case, do you have a better, more correct, tutorial video to recommend?

[@tokyohthegoat]

Anyone wondering ab world partition conversion. Its broken it 5.3.2, or its already a world partition level by default. Download an older editor, preferred 5.2.1. This is the best solution until gorka can respond :)

[@semmert]

another UE5 feature that just simply doesn't work. I made my map, and it failed to convert. I couldn't right click the file and convert it that way because it thought the map was already converted. So I started a new map. That one converted just "fine", but didn't create any tiles. The landscape remained 1 single piece. Even though Unreal is telling me that it is already converted to world partition when I try to run it again. Seriously, UE is a massive sack of shit. I'm floored every day that they even made it this far. Everything they advertise is just a facade.
