      Hmm, that's strange. I've seen a lot of weird bugs with the control mapping lately. I'll look into it.

      Edit: I just tested CardinalMenu_Demo_v171227_418 and the bindings were present. Is this happening when you package the uProject Files or when you download the Demo?

        @Thaddeus It's happening when I package the .uproject. It works fine within the editor when playing standalone or launching the game but once I package it, it breaks.

          You have to manually drop the config files into the packaged directories once it's done. Below is where I put them in the demo to get it to work. For some reason the editor doesn't automatically place them when you package.

          \CardinalMenu\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Input.ini
          and
          \CardinalMenu\Config\DefaultInput.ini

          Did that work? You might have to create some directories if they are not automatically present.

            @Thaddeus That fixed it, thankyou! I also have another problem that showed up when testing the packaged build with my brother over steam. When I went to host a game he was able to see it in the server list but when he went to double click it it threw an error saying couldn't connect to server. Then I tried to join one that he created but it never showed up for me but rather showed the game I made and said that he was within that game. Tried reloading the game to see if that would fix the problem but still ran into the same server listed. Also not sure if you fixed it or not in an earlier version but the ping was showing 9999 still.

              There's still no fix for the 9999 ping bug. I use the ping plugin on the main project for it, though, and broadcast the hosts IP as a session variable. The problem is Epic hasn't implemented pings for listen server sessions.

              As far as the hosting and seeing sessions goes, I've had problems with LAN and WiFi. I'm sure it has something to do with network configuration. (Possibly a security setting about broadcasting packets over a WiFi access point)

              If your test was over the internet, it could also be firewall rules causing the issue or Steam region lock. Since this uses Steam Test APPID's, sometimes I've had issues with Steam. If you have your own APPID, then that issue should go away. (If it's related to region locking)

              Those are the three issues I've seen.

              Was your multiplayer session broadcast test over LAN with WiFi? Or over the internet?

                @SkillzKilli I'm glad to know that fixed your inputs! The input system has been quite the headache. I hope Epic changes the way it works soon. But I think they are more concerned about the serious engine stuff.

                  @Thaddeus it was over the Internet, we were in the same state just 500 miles apart so I don't think the region thing shouldn't be an issue (Washington state). Could be something with our firewalls but not too sure on how to check if that's the culprit? I can test more when I get home from work tonight. I'm also using the test appid for this.

                      It's likely a firewall issue if nobody is reporting problems with Steam's test appid. I've heard a lot of problems with in in China, but not here.

                      It is possible that maybe there's too many people using the test appid at the same time when you tested it. I can't remember off my head, but OnlineSessionPlugin only fetches so many sessions by default. The way the server browser works is by filtering out all non-matching sessions. That could be the issue. Or a firewall issue.

                      If you find out that it's a firewall thing and you plan on releasing a big commercial game, I think UWorks does NAT punchthrough. (To bypass firewalls without configuration) I haven't tried it since it's $109 on the marketplace, but I hear it's pretty good.

                        @Thaddeus sounds good, thanks for the help and information. I'll keep you posted If I find any other bugs that want to pop up during testing.

                            @Thaddeus Hey so I was just wondering, in the editor when I go to the movies folder the only thing in there is the setting.jpg but in the directory of the project (\CardinalMenu_Project_v171227_418\Content\Movies) you can see the video files there. How are you loading in the videos to be played without having them in the editor? Did you just put them in the defaulftgame.ini or is there a different way of working with them. I just want to be able to do my own videos when I get my game to commercial. Thanks

                              @SkillzKilli It's the LoadingScreen plugin. The configurations are in there. I'm not sure if it's dated by now. There may be better methods now. But it works.

                                I can not make this Source tree to work. I open it and past the URL:

                                select the folder with the project : CardinalMenu_Project_v171227_418 and the name : CardinalMenu_Project_v171227_418. But I get an error and it does not allow me to clone it.

                                Here is the error:

                                  You can download the project files at http://metahusk.com/cardinal-menu/ if you want. Are you looking to clone the repository so you can roll back to different changes?

                                  That's weird, I can clone it without a problem using TortoiseHg and this command. I'm waiting for it to finish as I type this. (Edit: It cloned without issues.) I had a problem with SourceTree in the past. Maybe it's a SourceTree bug?
                                  hg clone --verbose http://repositories.metahusk.com/menu.hg "I:\Unreal Projects\menu.hg-clone"

                                    @Thaddeus Your Tips helped, it worked on TortoiseHg. There are some issues I need to fix, but for now, this is good enough. Thank you very much!

                                        Cardinal Menu has been released for Unreal Engine 4.19 today. This update now includes Steam listen server pings! (As requested)

                                        The video on the first post has been updated to reflect the 4.19 version of the project.

                                            At the moment, it doesn't. I might look into adding that feature in the future. There is a Steam friends list in game, though.
