[Community Project] Cardinal Menu System | Instructions And Help

@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.
@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.
-
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?
@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.

@SkillzKilli Thanks for helping report bugs.

@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.

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?

@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!

@Thaddeus
Does this support Inviting friends directly via Steam?

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.

Are you playing the packaged / built demo or in-editor? Windows 10? It sounds like maybe the window isn't selected? I'm not sure what is wrong on your end.

How does one go about opening the In Game menu? I got it to open biut then it would not close or return to the game for example. I do not purely understand the logic here..can you elaborate a little on how this works?
I saw you made something on the M keypress but what exactly happens there or how do we implement this?
Sorry for all the trouble but I am new to UE4.

Actually I guess the open/close menu is implemented in the test level you included with the menu itself. I'll try looking there for the implementation and then report back if I still can't get it to work.
