AGLS v1.9.1 update release + UE5.8 Info

Hi. At the moment, AGLS v1.9.2 can run on UE5.8, but only partially. I've managed to compile the code, although I'm still working through several compiler warnings that need to be addressed. However, I've encountered some issues related to StateTree. I believe UE5.8.0 contains bugs in the StateTree plugin that prevent StateTree assets from compiling correctly. At the moment, I don't know how to fix this manually. As a result, HumanAI is currently unavailable in UE5.8, and the project cannot be packaged. That said, I'll be releasing the updated plugins soon and will make it clear that this is only a temporary solution.

Hi Thank you for the information. Today I finally managed to compile the AGLS code for UE5.8. I'm curious how you managed to get it working on your own, because by default the automatic compilation should fail with errors. In my case, I had to make several fixes to CablePhysics, although the biggest issue at the moment is the large number of warnings related to double/float conversions. Previously, I never paid much attention to whether I wrote floating-point literals as 0.1 or 0.1f, but now the compiler requires that distinction. The biggest problem, however, is what I've encountered with StateTree. I believe UE5.8.0 contains bugs related to this plugin, which prevent StateTree assets from compiling correctly. At the moment, I don't know how to fix this manually. As a result, HumanAI is currently unavailable in UE5.8, and the project cannot be packaged. I haven't noticed any major issues with the audio system so far, but thanks for pointing those out.

Hi. If you still have a problem, questions about a project are best asked on Discord (especially if screenshots or a video demonstrating the issue are required). Alternatively, you can send me a private message on Patreon.

Hi, I’d be happy to try and help, although I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to. From your message, I understood that you’re having trouble creating new animations for AGLS directly within Unreal Engine. I know Epic has significantly expanded this aspect of the engine, but unfortunately I’ve never really used those tools myself. I create all of my animations in the external software Cascadeur. The control over IK bones there - such as ik_hand_gun - is implemented really well. Unfortunately, I’m not entirely sure what the issue with Virtual Bones might be. Generally, there is little reason to animate them directly. VB bones are primarily used to provide the appropriate transformations of parent relationships relative to the "physical" bones. For example, if you were creating an animation for an Overlay State, then the bone responsible for determining the transform of the held item would be 'ik_hand_gun', and that is the bone your new animation should take into account. The Virtual Bones themselves should generally be ignored, since after saving the animation sequence they should assume their default transforms. I’m not entirely sure if that’s what you were referring to, though. https://snipboard.io/dGQn8R.jpg

Hi, Thanks for sharing that information. What interested me the most, is the fact that you managed to run AGLS on a Mac. Could you tell me more about that? Specifically, do you have a Mac running Unreal Engine where you were able to launch AGLS? If so, I’d honestly be quite surprised. In that case, if possible, it would be incredibly helpful if you could share the Plugins folder containing your modifications. I’m a complete noob when it comes to this area, as I’ve never had any experience with Apple hardware 🙃.
