It will compile under 4.14, but I can't use 4.14 due to a bug introduced in that version of Unreal Engine where dynamic lights do not work in an orthographic viewport. I'm going to guess that the current form of the plugin on github just doesn't support 4.13 and I need to use an older version. I used the CreatureEditorAndPlugin version.

Hello,

Yes you are going to have to roll back a couple versions in git for the UE4 plugin.
Unfortunately Epic changed their API for UE4.14 so we had to fix the issue on our end as well to make it compatible with their latest Engine release.

Cheers

Ah that's alright then. Shouldn't cause any major issues from bugs that wont be patched I hope, and as a last resort there's always the fbx exporter.

Thanks for the help though

This is possible to have a fix to make the UE4 runtime works in 4.15 preview 2?

[chong]

Hello,

We will have to wait for the stable version of 4.15 to be published before we make it build with 4.15. The officially supported Creature UE4 runtime coincides with the official release of UE4 ( which is 4.14 )

Cheers

Yay 4.15 is out! Finally we can play with it

[chong]

I will be looking into updating it for UE4.15 very soon.
Stay tuned.

Cheers
