Errors during UE5 FullReimport

[pelemiq]

Hello,

I have been trying to import my articy project into unreal, with both marketplace plugin, and compiled github version, on a empty unreal project

Frist problem: not detectin .articyue4 file

1. Export project to unreal´s content folder
2. Open UE5, then open Articy Menu
3. Full reimport

LogArticyEditor: Warning: Could not find articy import data asset.
LogArticyEditor: Warning: Attempting to create from .articyue4 export file
LogArticyEditor: Error: Failed creation of import data asset.
No .articyue4 file found in directory /Game. Please check the plugin settings for the correct articy directory and try again.

.articyue4 does exists, I can skip this problem by creating a new folder called "ArticyAssets" and exporting to Content/ArticyAssets
Then change articy directory from project settings to "/Game/ArticyAssets"

Now try the full reimport again, after some minutos of compiling c++ code, this error is prompted:

And this is the complete log:

I am using Articy free version, we are currently working on integrating articy conversations on our game, so this is blocking our develoment :(

Here is the link to my dummy articy project, we need to get it working with our actual project, but this is the first step
PruebaPequenya.zip

Thanks!

Hi pelemiq,

It seems like that once the .articyue4 is not properly detected (e.g. due to a failed import of the articy data), it needs to be deleted manually so that Unreal detects it or changes to it again.

But I was not able to reproduce the compilation errors you have, even with your articy project. Epic Games released UE 5.0.1 a few hours ago, which fixes a similar error when trying to import the articy data. Maybe it is also related to this issue.
If it still does not work after an UE update, can you send me the empty project in which the issue occurs?

Best regards,
Christian

Hi christian,

I have updated UE5 to 5.0.1, still having the same issues when trying to find the .articyue4 file, it is a fresh new project using the third person template, with the plugin installed on it

Hi pelemiq,

I got it running. The issue was that "ArticyRuntime" was not added as a public dependency to the Cpp.Build.cs file (see Adjust build configuration for help). After that change the import succeeded on my end.

In order to import again, I had to use the workaround to delete \Content\PruebaPequenya.articyue4 and export again from articy. One time I had to restart the engine bevor exporting again from articy. After this workaround Unreal's import prompt will pop up again, which will trigger our importer after accepting it.

Best regards,
Christian

Nice, It is working now!

Yes, i forgot to add the dependecy for this project, but I did it on the previous tests.

I think that the problem is that I exported the articy project, and I was trying to import everything (including images) using the articy "Full Reimport" button, instead of that, I used Unreal's import prompt, and that worked for me
