Unreal Engine - ALSv4 Refactored / Bonus Troubleshooting

[@BooneyTune]

Hey, TC thanks for putting this out.

[@TCMabe]

No problem … hope it’s helpful ! Cheers !

[@UnrealEnginecode]

this is absolutly perfect job Thanks man!

[@WendellOttoni]

What is the difference between normal and refactored als? thanks for the explanation

[@TCMabe]

Too much for me to list … mainly it is optimized and better organized for better understanding and easier to work with. It is also Multiplayer or Replicated … the rest of the enhancements can be found in the GitHub page towards the bottom of the folder listings at this link github.com/Sixze/ALS-Refactored

[@LoganThomas-zd7gd]

When I open the project in the folder it says (ALSv4_RF_Test could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually.), known problems?

[@TCMabe]

Are you opening a project I uploaded or one from the GitHub site? In either case you may be prompted to rebuild the project… That means you will have to have visual studio 2022 community or higher and you’ll have to have all of the dependencies for game building in Unreal Engine with C++ enabled in the configuration when you install it.

[@LoganThomas-zd7gd]

@@TCMabe oop, thanks man. I had the c++ thing but not the uproject, installer, and test ones.

[@UnrealEnginecode]

why tick doesnt work in als character cPP and what is als character example and why this plugin soo complex and Is it only the lomotion system that was defined in BP?

[@TCMabe]

It is supposed to be a cleaned up and replicated version of ALS … all of the content and examples are in the plugin folder. Try searching for ALS Refactored … there might be some examples, docs or Discords out there that can answer the questions. I only show how to install it … all of the other stuff is beyond the scope of the video. There are users in my Discord that might be able to help answer your questions as well. Cheers !

[@MrEvilgott]

hey @TCMabe any idea if ALS supports fast paced movements? Like dashes and such?

[@TCMabe]

I believe it does … but you can verify that by going to my Discord and checking out the user projects … one of our channel participants does a lot of ALS work.

[@MrEvilgott]

@@TCMabe I will check it out thanks!

[@gabrielchcosta]

Is this better than the community version? Can't seem to install the community version on a 5.4 project

[@TCMabe]

I have not tried community on 5.4 that I can recall … e a lot of people like this version better because it’s cleaned up and organized … some say it’s easier to work with … I’ve never used ALS for more than level testing basic stuff anyway so it’s hard for me to answer beyond my experience.

[@kingdrift1136]

Two questions: 1. Is the BP for this replicated? 2. Does this work for MacOS?

[@TCMabe]

To the best of my knowledge, it is fully replicated… I am not sure if it works on macOS. I did not create this, I was simply showing people how to get it into an unreal engine project.

[@PreyxSFE]

After a Level load the charachter Cant move anymore how to fix That

[@TCMabe]

Does the new level have a Nav Mesh Bounds volume

[@TCMabe]

Check your game mode and make sure you have everything setup like the player controller and game instance for example.

[@PreyxSFE]

It was my fault, because the problem was that one vehicle in my scene had the "Auto Possesing Enabled" option enabled.

[@tgwan1707]

How about ALS-Refactored with Synty Skeleton? ALS-Refactored didnot have Visual Body mesh so we can set Main mesh only Synty Retarget Plugin didnot work which need Visual Body mesh if use Synty new skeletal the ALS Main mesh will floating in the air how to fix that?

[@thugwool]

I cant get it working on 5.4, Even with the Visual Studio installed, with all the dependencies, guess i gotta downgrade to get it working

[@NotAvailable18-p5i]

Great video, the man's object attachment doesn't work, and he's spending 30 minutes trying to fix animations that work🥲

[@TCMabe]

Just change the mesh reference in the bp to whatever you are using
