how to enable world partition in citysample demo file.

This is a great question; I haven't really dived into that project. But I believe you can convert the current level into world partition by doing this : To convert your existing Levels to World Partition: In Windows, open a Command Prompt window. At the prompt, begin by navigating to the location of the UnrealEditor.exe executable file. Example: c:\Builds\Home_UE5_Engine\Engine\Binaries\Win64. Next, begin the command with the name of the .exe file that will run the commandlet, UnrealEditor.exe Add the name of the project Continue with the name of the commandlet to run, -run=WorldPartitionConversionCommandlet. Add the name of the map file that will be converted. Example CitySample.umap. Finish the command with the additional argument -AllowCommandletRendering Press Enter and the commandlet will convert the map to use World Partition.

That's what cells and HLODs are for. You can associate each mesh with a cell so if you want you can separate a cell only for distant objects. Besides that, build your HLODs and you will be fine for streamed out objects

I have a 1000 km2 world with 32*32 components (1024) max as recommend by unreal documentation. The map was created as a flat landscape and uses the landmass addon to create heightmap data layers so i can "stamp" my terrain. Such as mountains and such. I have another data layer that holds the height information for smoothing the landscape between patchs and the landscape. I also have a auto material for the landscape and am using a single plane with the water plugin to create the ocean. My question. When painting trees with foilage and using landscape grass types for the weeds and grass and flowers and such,.... As you can imagine my frames are starting to dip I cant seem to figure out how to load and unload components and or proxies of my landscape as well as foliage. What im trying to accomplish with world partition is to load in only a single procie of the landscape with the foilage and grass type. Nothing else so that i can actually edit things at a decent FPM. I have streaming enabled for the landscape and the foilage is spartially loaded. Still it seems like landscape proxies dometimes appear,.... Sometimes dissapear. The foulage seems to load in correctly. Its fustrating to get just a procie to load in with the assocuated foilage and grass type set to its material data
@KingdomCrafter
@KingdomCrafter 8 ай бұрын
The most straightforward solution is to just use world partition, and determine what cell and region size you want. This will allow you to easily unload any areas you aren't actively working in and allows you to perform much faster. Doing this will make your landscape proxies, and you can make it so your region size correlates with your proxy size.

@@KingdomCrafter thank you for taking the time to reply. I have world partition and regions set up. The issue I'm having is with the landscape grass type spawning meshes on my textures. Seemed to slow it all down As it stands right now I have grasses spawned with the foilge paint tool and I seem to be able to load and unload those actors without issue. When the grass was done through the material it seemed to always be loaded. I just wish I knew how to get the landscape mesh itself to load and unload using the partition mini map. Seems like the landscape always wants to stay loaded in even when set to spartial :( but the foliage was the most taxing system and I have a work around..... More time consuming to pain on a huge map but I'm making due

Aboslutely, thanks for reaching out! Just out of curiosity are you using 5.3? I was running into similar foliage related issues with 5 .1, and 5.2 started to seem more stable and now in 5.3 using the world partition map and actors in those regions seem to load and unload much more reliably. It could also be worth using a PCG system with your foliage to have even more control over it if you aren't already.

@KingdomCrafter
@KingdomCrafter 28 күн бұрын
Absolutely! And there are a few things that can slow it down outside of hardware needs. Such as a really dense landscape, so even 4k heightmaps can start to chug. There's also the amount of assets per world partition tile. I've found that working on different loaded cells can be more performant if the landscape is just too heavy

i don't know how does that hlod and world partition stuff help making games have large worlds like rdr2. whats the point if a grid disappears/unloads from a distance. 🤔
@KingdomCrafter
@KingdomCrafter 5 ай бұрын
For example, say you're wanting to show a large portion of your landscape with intricate Vistas, and foliage + some assets, instead of having to have all of those load in as unique assets and materials, you can combine them in a lower memory intensive state, until it makes sense to load in more detail. It allows you to merge these into minimal draw calls. So in this case where it's showing cells "unloaded" this is where you would then replace assets with these HLODs.

Great tutorial!! Thank you for making this, good to bookmark. However, I have a question... In one part of your video the console command you put in for debug/viz that highlights which cells are being loaded worked well, it showed green tiles being lit up. Then you created a 2nd landscape and the debug/viz was not highlighting green anymore? Is there a reason for that? The reason I ask is because I have a similar problem where my Player Controller is not showing those green cell being lit up? I can get the to light up if I create a BP and add a WPStreamingSource component to it, but my player controller does not light those cell up... I know its streaming correctly because when I deactivate streaming on my controller I the landscape does not load and I fall forever. But when I activate streaming the landscape cells load fine... Just wondering why my player controller is behaving this way (streams/loads the cells but does not highlight them green on the debug window).
@KingdomCrafter
@KingdomCrafter Жыл бұрын
That's a good question, I think this may be a UI distinction between the 3d vs 2d, and there are more console commands to visualize it a bit differently. There is also a legend you can pull up when you're visualizing as well to get a better idea. I could be wrong here, and will look into it soon when I get some time :)

@@KingdomCrafter Thanks, King! Both your landscapes were actually still using the 2d visualizer. The 3d visualizer looks like a wireframe sphere that surrounds your charter/camera and highlights cells as you move around. If you are able to find the answer to this please post it here, haha. I will too if I find the solution somewhere down the road.

Hey, thank for the great tutorial. I have been encountering the landscape streaming proxy problem already for a long time, and only thing I can make the landscape work properly (when I try to play), is to tick Enable Streaming off, which of course causes other problems because of my huge landscape. I tried your way to naming the landscape proxies grids as the same name as the World Setting's grid (MainGrid) but even that didn't help. Would you care to have any other suggestions why the streaming proxies behave like they do? it really is starting to be pain in the ***. Thank you for your time :)

This does not work when creating a large map larger than 100km squared. This only works when creating a small landscape, such as a 10km square map, but then HLOD doesn't make sense. I suspect that this is due to a lack of RAM, but I have 64 gigabytes of it. Try to create a large landscape at home and generate HLOD, you will probably be surprised when you see that they have been created, but they are empty. This is a very big problem that it is impossible to generate HLOD individually to save RAM. I haven't found a solution to this problem yet.

@KingdomCrafter Жыл бұрын
I've noticed HLOD not feeling like a finished product in my opinion. However, thanks for bringing this up, i'll give this a test and see what we can do to maybe get a desired result. If theres not good solution atm, I may build a Houdini tool we can use to quickly make your own HLOD / Proxys
@DodgerEcho
@DodgerEcho Жыл бұрын
@@KingdomCrafter Well, it would be nice to create a video about it. It's a pity that HLOD is so unoptimized, like a game engine, and requires resources like a mining farm, I believe that the engine for creating games should be optimized at least for the average working machine of a game developer, otherwise with such an appetite for the engine, developers need to have server corporations to build their game, they will be afraid of it and switch to another, a more optimized game engine, although I really don't want it, I like UE.

Now were at 9gbvram....delete the edits....still sits at 9gb... try to do a HLOD build...vram mem skyrockets and crashes editor.... Try reduced settings. Vram stays same. Tried 4.26. 2gb vram usage. Same assets. Sigh... i wasted months now. 5.1 seems more like an irritating sore than anything useful currently.

This may sound obvious but just thought we should check. Let's make sure you have the latest update to the engine, the latest drivers and also aren't overclocking anything. After that some ways to optimize this are in the world settings, change your quality to medium or low until you can isolate the issue.

If you're talking about deleting the current HLODs, first i'd make sure it's an open world level, and then click on the content folder and search for HLOD. If nothing is popping up, i'd just show all folders, and you should find where it's located. If this doesn't work i'll look more into some issues it may be having.

I'm not game designer so it is gonna be hard to find a good game idea without world, if someone has a hint (I can't use either things like AI, anim bp, lightning, materials, multiplayer, meta sounds, sequencer etc)
