AdvancedSessionsPlugin was reporting some problems with 4.15. Pretty soon 4.15 we will release a 4.15 version.

I'm releasing axis mapping and controller support today with the UE4.15 release! It took a while to work the bugs out.

Thaddeus

The UE4.15 release includes some major changes. Here are some of the major ones.

The MainMenuLib was removed and blueprints only graphics settings were put into place using Mathew Wadstein's method.
Axis bindings are now possible.
Controllers (Xbox and Steam) are now supported.
And a UE4 intro video plays at the beginning.

You're welcome. Hopefully this saves people a lot of time. Binding can be kind of difficult. The inputs require alphabetical order and sometimes after packaging the game you have to re-order the defaultinput.ini controls back into alphabetical order. The menu system is getting pretty complicated. I forget where things are if I haven't worked with it in a few months.

The input widgets can be found here -
/Game/Cardinal/MainMenu/Blueprints/UI/SettingsPanels/ControlsSettingsDetails
In the arrays DefaultActionBinds_"control-scheme"
and
/Game/Cardinal/MainMenu/Blueprints/UI/SettingsPanels/RAMA-AxisControls/AxisMain_ByRama
In the arrays DefaultAxisBinds_"control-scheme"

The default inputs are in:
\game\Config\DefaultInput.ini

And input mappings for PC are as follows:
+ActionMappings=(ActionName="Jump",Key=SpaceBar,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)
+ActionMappings=(ActionName="Menu",Key=M,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="Backward",Key=S,Scale=-1.000000)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="Forward",Key=W,Scale=1.000000)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="LookDown",Key=None,Scale=1.000000)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="LookUp",Key=MouseY,Scale=-1.000000)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="TurnLeft",Key=MouseX,Scale=1.000000)
+AxisMappings=(AxisName="TurnRight",Key=None,Scale=-1.000000)

*Note the alphabetical order

I play tested it for a while. I think I fixed most of the bugs. If you see one, please let me know. Thanks

You do not hope. YOU SAVE a lot of time of all people want use your project for prototyping game or something like that. For my mind since i played with ue4 i have seen many community helper giving some tuto you know complete solution to start with and this is very good because when you are indie or even student this type of project i guess "Cardinal Menu" is a gold mine and this can increase significantly your power!
I just want to say something last one for people looking for solide base fundation for starting game or any other. this is a MUST USE in his category.
Peace

Thanks for the encouragement. We just released a new version that fixes the in editor's default binds being wrong out of the box. PIE PC controls should work fine now.

Thaddeus

Steam friend avatars were fixed. They are not functioning correctly in UE4.15 until Cardinal Menu v170405_415.

Hi, I'm triyng to make some test with Cardinal Menu and I found a strange behavior, If you launch 2 PIE windows and on the server windows start a network host and on the client window connect to the server (LAN, no STEAM) the gamemode is not passed to the client and you have olny the default one, just the camera.
Could someone help me with this issue?
thx

Is the game instance set? Sometimes it becomes unset for some reason. Especially if you migrate project files.

Just for reference in case anyone else has the same problem: The issue was resolved in the discord channel. The problem was Auto Connect to Server being checked under PIE -> Advanced Settings -> Multiplayer options.

Hello there!

In SettingsSubMenu, on Open Detail Container, in the comment Change Apply Settings And Defaults Names,
There is a check if InGameMenu existe "Check If In Game Widget - Can't Use Defaults If In Game"
But this check does nothing ?

I would like to know if we can't do something if In Game VS in menu.

Thanks
