Thank you for the donation it’s much appreciated. Glad we got it fixed

So i tried it in 4.27 and ran into some issues myself so its not something you did wrong. It seems i made some updates and forgot upload them.

In 4.27 the screen background is totally black in my case. hopefully this is what is cause your problems cause its an easy fix.

Btw it seems that in 4.27 it doesn’t show the effect in the editor? I have to run the game to see it. In the newer versions of the engine it shows in editor (those pics i posted were from 5.4)

Open up MUI_ScalelineBase (its in “Materials/PostProcess/”) Set Blend mode to “AlphaComposite”

Then connect the Alpha from the “RenderTarget” node to the Material’s Opacity

If this doesn’t fix it for you then we can do the discord call and sort it out Also i made a new 4.27 project to test it out. you can download it for a closer look

Hello, what does your setup look like?

Here is how i went about it.

• Create a Material Instance of MUI_ScalelineBase (its in “Materials/PostProcess/”)
• Tweak the values to you liking. These value should be set to match the post process’s values (except where ever you want to tone something down or up or whatever)
• Set the Retainer Box’s “Effect Material” to the material instance you made and tweaked above
• Set the Retainer Box’s “Texture Parameter” value to “RenderTarget” This should give you a matching effect on the UI. If you cant get this to work can you go into more detail about your setup and/or post some pictures?

I’ll post some screenshots of my setup here

Also in the last screenshot you can see my widget layout. Its one single retainer box covering the entire UI Let me know if this helps

Oh nice. I went ahead and and made a repo for the plug-in here https://github.com/Dn2/EditorDiscordRichPresence

If you want you can make a pull request or when i get some free time i can add your changes.

Copy the 5.6 version of the plugin to YourProject\Plugins as you’d normally do. But it has to be be a C++ project and have visual studio installed. It will probably warn about the plugin version but still ask to compile.

And that’s it. (If it warns you about the plugin version everytime you start the project, you can open up the plugin’s uproject in a text editor and change the engine version to 5.7)

Any comments, questions or general feedback.

How To Use

Usage:

• Copy the “Dn2FauxRetro” folder to: your project’s plugins folder (YourProject\Plugins)
• Go to Edit > Plugins and make sure it, (Dn2FauxRetro) is enabled.
• Go to UE’s Content Browser, Settings (or View Options in UE4.27) and enable “Show Plugin Content”.
• In the Content Browser open up Dn2FauxRetro Content > Map folder and open up one of the two maps.

Check out the N64 & PSX Base materials in Dn2FauxRetroContent > Materials and the Material Functions in Dn2FauxRetroContent > Materials > Functions.

You can:

• make material instances of the base materials in Materials > N64 or Materials > PSX
• or copy and customise them to your needs
• or take them as examples and use the material functions if you need more unique setup.

CRT Post Process:

• The CRT Post Process material can be found at Dn2FauxRetroContent > Materials > PostProcess > PP_ScalelineBase
• Make a Material Instance based on PP_ScalelineBase by Right Clicking. (Or use the one included named: CRTScaleline_Inst)
• Add the material instance to a post process volume & tweak the instance’s parameters to your liking.

Texture Settings:

Texture’s Filter need to be set Nearest, Compression Settings to UserInterface2D (RGBA), Texture Group to 2D Pixels (unfiltered). An easy way to set all of these at once is to right click the texture in the content browser, Sprite Actions > Apply Paper2D Texture Settings. You and also open up the texture and set them manually.

I also recommend setting Mip Gen Settings to NoMipmaps.

I’ll try to document all the notable features here with gifs (well actually webp not gifs). Some of the images are artifacting pretty bad ill redo them when i have time.

I haven’t tried it yet. You can add it to a c++ project, compile it and see if it works.

its currently windows only, sorry

its up.

Soon™ (I’ll get to it this coming week hopefully)

Thank you!

Yea, this happens with games and discord overlay too. Glad you got it fixed

ty!!

Make sure that discord is opened before you open the project in unreal engine.

Also make sure that no other discord rich presence app is already running e.g. I use a visual studio extension for discord rich presence. If I open visual studio first, unreal engine won’t show up and vice versa.

If you only meant that it’s not updating what you’re currently doing in the editor, the “level editing” update only happens after selecting an actor.

Everything is hardcoded right now so no. I do want to add the ability to hide project name and editor activity though. When i get some time ill see if i can get that in

there is now

Its up now

its up now

No, Not unless you you make your own app/client in the discord dev portal and replace it in the plugin’s source code as its a set of predefined images tied to any app that uses discord rich presence.

So if you really wanted to do it you could

np :)

5.2, 5.3 added so you can just download it now if you didn’t get the above fix to work

No worries! :D

Ah. This plugin only does it for the editor. As in, it just shows that you’re in unreal engine on discord and the engine’s version number etc.

Yea it only shows that you are using UE5/UE4. The UE4 version doesn’t accurately show what sub-editor youre in. Is that what you mean?

When i get some free time I’’l try to get it working properly

5.1 is up now.

It comes with the source so you can do whatever with it. For now i dont wanna commit to maintaining/approving pull request etc but if i do need help testing in the future i’ll hit up those that have offered to :)

https://dn2.itch.io/editor-discord-rich-presence/devlog/491519/51

Its up!

5.1 update with source. View update post here: https://dn2.itch.io/editor-discord-rich-presence/devlog/491519/51

I didn’t include the source code with the last release so it wont compile, sorry. Yea I’ll try to get both the 5.1 version and source code up on github when i get some time.

Is this with 4.27 or 5? If you’re talking about 4.27 I don’t have the current activity stuff working correctly yet. Still looking for a reliable way to show activity.

For UE5 it should just have the project name and engine version.

UE5 version is up!
