Paying it forward: I have worked out the build issue with 5.4, built and lightly tested in 5.4 for compatibility

[aknittel1]

Add the last #include to SmEditorManager.cpp. It will build and seems to work. I haven't tested it thoroughly.

Thanks for the suggestions, yeah I haven't tested with 5.4 yet, it has been released only yesterday. I'll make a release of this plugin soon, probably with this included then.

[anttin2020]

@microdee, please make this excellent plugin to work in UE 5.4, the UE 3DConnexion plugin is only partially usable as it cannot work in runtime. Your plugin is also much more feature-rich.

But is runuat broken in UE 5.4?
I wanted to try to use the runuat.bat to recompile this for UE 5.4 but here's what I got:

S:\UE\UE_5.4\Engine\Build\BatchFiles>RunUAT.bat BuildPlugin-plugin="s:\\ue\\ue_5.3\\engine\\plugins\\spacemouse\\spacemouse.uplugin"-package="s:\\newplugin" -TargetPlatforms=Win64
Running AutomationTool...
Using bundled DotNet SDK version: 6.0.302
Starting AutomationTool...
Parsing command line: BuildPlugin-plugin=s:\\ue\\ue_5.3\\engine\\plugins\\spacemouse\\spacemouse.uplugin-package=s:\\newplugin -TargetPlatforms=Win64
ERROR: Unknown parameter -TargetPlatforms=Win64 in the command line that does not belong to any command.
BUILD FAILED

Has someone managed to rebuild this or any plugin for UE 5.4? Is it broken and if not, what is the correct command line now?
I also tried to use -platform instead of -TargetPlatforms but same error. I haven't found any documentation for this, only old forum posts that of course give the old method.

Anyone, please help :)
Thank you!

Anyone?

@microdee
Please go on for supporting, thank you!

[anttin2020]

Add the last #include to SmEditorManager.cpp. It will build and seems to work. I haven't tested it thoroughly.

@aknittel1, while we are waiting for official release, could you please tell how did you manage to compile it in 5.4? I cannot get runuat.bat to work at all in 5.4 (please see my post above) so how did you do the build?

I am not familiar with c++ so it is probably something simple but I haven't found any documentation for 5.4 for runuat.bat so it should work the same as before but it does not.

Thank you very much in advance :)

[aknittel1]

I'll give you my RUNUAT.BAT tomorrow and see what folders it references and their content. Or i can just send the build output. But shouldn't microdee have official build by now? Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

@aknittel1 , thank you for fast response :)

I'll give you my RUNUAT.BAT tomorrow and see what folders it references and their content.

That would be great, thank you very much!
And if you have done some other configuration changes or anything that is needed, please include that info as well. Also is VS 2019 still ok or do I need VS 2022? I have both installed but have never done anything with them except run the runuat :)
But if the runuat.bat itself has not changed, then just your command line with it should be enough.
And in source code no other changes are needed than to add the #include "Engine/Hitresult.h" to SmEditorManager.cpp?

Or i can just send the build output.

That would be nice too but please also give me the runuat usage as I will need it on next UE update :)

But shouldn't microdee have official build by now?

Indeed should but the 'latest' is still Sep 7 2023...

The problem is that I don't want to switch to 5.4 until I know I can use my SpacePilot Pro (yep, not spacemouse but works fine) in playtime (for realtime-recorded fly-throughs of a scene etc. using Take Recorder). That's why I cannot wait that long to get the official version. It was the same on 5.2 -> 5.3 but then I managed to compile it myself but as said, those instructions don't work anymore.

That's why your help is VERY important, thank you very much again!

[aknittel1]

Think the best course of action is for me to give you the output of the build first. I can give you a shared folder to download from. Going through our dev configurations will take time. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Ok, whatever you think is best and easiest for you :)
So, see you tomorrow!

[aknittel1]

Here is a download link to a ZIP file that is the build of this driver for UE4:

Access will expire 7/19/2024

[anttin2020]

Thank you very much!
I will get into it tomorrow (it's evening here now), I'll let you know how it works :)

[aknittel1]

BTW, I DID upgrade to Visual Studio 2022. The RUNAT.BAT was unmodified and I used these batch file command line parameters: runuat BuildPlugin -plugin="D:\Data\Downloads\Browser\SpaceMouse-Win64-1.2.4.5.0.0-Source\SpaceMouse.uplugin" -package="D:\Data\Downloads\Browser\SpaceMouse-Win64-1.2.4.5.2.0-Source\SpaceMouse540Prebuild" and made the one change I referred to earlier in Davi’s source: From: AnttiN ***@***.***> Sent: Friday, July 5, 2024 1:11 PM To: microdee/UE4-SpaceMouse ***@***.***> Cc: aknittel1 ***@***.***>; Mention ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [microdee/UE4-SpaceMouse] Paying it forward: I have worked out the build issue with 5.4, built and lightly tested in 5.4 for compatibility (Issue #104) Thank you very much!

Ok, thanks for the info!
I have VS 2022 installed but should I do something so that it definitely uses that and not 2019? Some config/path or something like that? Or will it try 2022 first by default on UE 5.4?

[aknittel1]

I deinstalled 2019 and installed only 2022. I cant speak to parallel installations and their effect.
