Change 2756103 on 2015/11/05 by Jamie.Dale
Implemented UFont::GetResourceSize to work correctly with the Size Map tool
Change 2756104 on 2015/11/05 by Jamie.Dale
Changed the font used when a font is missing or invalid to be the last resort font, rather than the localized fallback font
The localized fallback font could cause different results based on your culture, and the last resort font makes it clearer that something is set-up incorrectly as it just draws invalid glyph markers for all of the text.
Change 2756105 on 2015/11/05 by Jamie.Dale
Fixed a crash when using an empty FKey property with a Data Table
FKeyStructCustomization was asserting because there were no objects being edited, due to a newly added Data Table containing zero rows.
I've removed this assert, and also updated SKeySelector to no longer require a separate argument to say whether multiple keys with different values are selected (this is now calculated from the call to get the current key, which will return an empty TOptional for multiple values).

Change 2757156 on 2015/11/06 by Joe.Tidmarsh
Implemented "Go to Variable" functionality for widgets in Widget Blueprint Editor.
When we switch modes in UMG from Designer to Graph. We select the variable (In "My Blueprint"), if one exists, for the currently selected widget. Additionally we update the details panel.
* Added SelectGraphActionItemByName to FBlueprintEditor. This selects an item in My Blueprint and also displays it in the details panel of graph mode. SMyBlueprint is not available to FWidgetBlueprintEditor in UMGEditor module as it's privately implemented within Kismet.

Change 2757181 on 2015/11/06 by Jamie.Dale
Cleaned up some duplication in UMG text widgets, and exposed the text shaping options
The common properties used by all text widgets that are text layout based have been moved into a UTextLayoutWidget base class, and all text layout based widgets now derive from this.
The options needed to control the text shaping method used by a text based widget have been exposed via the FShapedTextOptions struct. This contains a way to manage these optional (and advanced) overrides. You typically wouldn't change these from the default unless you knew exactly what you were doing (eg, you have a text block containing only numbers).
This change also updates SRichTextBlock to work with an invalidation panel in the same way that STextBlock does

Slate - Improving the way we track references to materials in slate to better keep things alive until they're no longer needed for rendering. Additionally, making it so the we use the material and texture free list when possible when cleaning up things as to not allocate new memory if not required. Concidentually this can help with problems with corrupted memory on destruct as well, because it means the memory isn't really going to become garbage any more.

UDataTable::SaveStructData now writes out dummy data when RowStruct is null
This didn't used to happen, which would cause a miss-match between what UDataTable::LoadStructData was expecting, and would result in a Data Table that could never be loaded again.
This change also improves the error message when editing a Data Table with a null row struct, and adds the editor-only RowStructName property to cache the name of the last used struct (for error reporting).

UMG - Making it more obvious what keys do special stuff with anchors in UMG. Fixing the way snapping to anchors works with Control, it now only zeros out the side you're dragging instead of the entire widget, which was silly. Enhancing the designer message system to no longer be based on an enum and instead let arbitrary systems push and pop FText messages. Fixing animations in the anchor drop down to properly animate, broke when we introduced active timers.
Change 2763241 on 2015/11/11 by Nick.Darnell
Slate - We no longer allow popup windows to be larger than the primary display window for windows where max width/height is unspecified. This is to prevent accidential creation of tooltip windows that are larger than the driver allows causing crashes.
#jira UE-20336
Overview:
- Created a new UObject: USoundConcurrency
- Defines concurrency behaviors and allows for different USoundBase assets (e.g. SoundWave's, SoundCues) to be a part of the same concurrency group.
- This feature will allow a number of powerful techniques to limit and control the number of sound assets which can play concurrently
Details and Additional Related Features:
- USoundBase's not specifying an override or a USoundConcurrency ref will result in no concurrency limits.
- Added support to existing static gameplay functions to provide an optional argument to override the USoundConcurrency of a sound at the point of playing
- Added a few new concurrency resolution rules: Resolve based on priority and Resolve based on volume
- Volume based concurrency resolution is implemented slightly different than the others due to the fact that it's complex/expensive to compute an active sound's volume before it plays due to SoundCue graph traversal. Thus, this step is made after a sound is already made it through one update of the SoundCue graph.
- It's now possible to limit max concurrency (both in groups and per-sound-instance) to the "owner" of a sound. This way different characters/actors can use the same USoundConcurrency ref but have different max-concurrency counts. With this technique, you can, for example, limit dialogue lines per actor without needing to make a USoundConcurrency object for each actor.
- A new optional concurrency behavior was also added at a suggestion from the Epic audio team: the ability to attenuate a sound based on the instance count of a sound in its concurrency group. I.e. as more sounds play in a concurrency group, the sound instances get quieter.
Backwards Compat:
- The old way limited sounds per USoundBase instance (and not different ones). You can recover this behavior by specifying an "Override" settings structure on the USoundBase. When you do this, the feature will only limit sound concurrency per instance and not per group. All existing assets with MaxConcurrency settings will fallback to this behavior.
- The default USoundBase behavior for new USoundBase objects is the same as the old behavior - i.e. max limit of 16 and non-grouped (i.e. will be an override)

Data Tables can now import from JSON, and this was taking priority over the Paper2D importers. There were a few issues here:
1) FAssetTools::ImportAssets wasn't respecting the priority of the import factories, and was just testing them in the order they were found.
a) UCSVImportFactory needed to be given a lower than normal priority so it gets tested last as it will perform a catch-all match.
2) FAssetTools::ImportAssets will default to the first factory it finds, and then use FactoryCanImport to try and find a better match, however FactoryCanImport returns false by default, so...
a) UPaperSpriteSheetImportFactory needed to implement FactoryCanImport to avoid sprite sheets being imported as Data Tables.
b) UCSVImportFactory needed to implement a catch-all FactoryCanImport so it can be used when no other factory is a better match.

Paper2D: Defined a "Paper2D" category and moved existing asset type actions over
New methods on IAssetTools:
- RegisterAdvancedAssetCategory
- FindAdvancedAssetCategory
- GetAllAdvancedAssetCategories
Upgrade Note: This gets rid of the named extension sections in the filter menu, which should instead be extended via registering a new category.

I have reviewed each change carefully, but it is a large change and I could have missed something! Here is a summary of the types of changes in this CL:
* Made nullptr checks consistent (the plurality of the changes are of this type)
* Completed switch statements (IE, switch did not explicitly handle default case, but had unhandled enum entries - this is the second most popular type of fix)
* Removed unused variables
* Removed redundant initializations
* WidgetNavigationCustomization.cpp was fixed by the owner
* integers converted to floats where result was stored in a float
* Removed redundent null checks (e.g. before delete statements)
* Renamed variables to prevent non-obvious shadowing
* Fixed use of bitwise & when checking for equality to an enum entry (which is often 0)
* Fixes for some copy paste errors (e.g. FoliageEdMode.cpp)

Added the concept of "ClassTypeActions" for class asset types (C++ classes and Blueprints)
UE-7970 - Add small 'play' button to EditorTutorial asset thumbnail
Class asset types (C++ classes and Blueprints) are now able to provide actions that should be performed based upon the type of class the asset contains, rather than the asset class itself (which is always "Class" or "Blueprint").
This will allow the editor tutorials to provide class type actions for Blueprints that derive from "EditorTutorial" without requiring this information to be put into the asset type actions for Blueprint assets.

API break: added new pure virtual ISourceControlProvider::UsesChangelists()
API break: added new pure virtual ISourceControlState::FindHistoryRevision(const FString&)
API break: added new pure virtual ISourceControlRevision::GetRevision()
Implementing a Git provider requires us to be able to display revisions that are not indices as Git revisions are hashes. This updates the relvant code to allow us to display these revisions correctly.

UE-7184 - Show game c++ classes and engine c++ classes in the content browser
The Content Browser now has extra entries for "Game C++ Classes" and "Engine C++ Classes" (with "Game" and "Engine" being renamed to "Game Content" and "Engine Content" respectively). These new folders serve as hosts for the list of available C++ modules, with each module internally mirroring the folder structure on disk.
For example:
- Game C++ Classes
- ShooterGame
- Classes
- Bots
- ShooterBot
- ShooterAIController
- [...]
- [...]
The Content Browser allows you to navigate and search these classes like you can with assets, and provides convenient access to either edit an existing class, or create a new class (either within a selected folder, or derived from a selected class).
As the Content Browser only shows you known UClass types, any new classes need to be compiled into a loaded module before they will appear. This means that adding a new class will now automatically hot-reload your target module. Should you prefer to handle building and loading your modules manually, you can disable the automatic hot-reload via "Editor Settings" -> "Miscellaneous" -> "Hot Reload" -> "Automatically Hot Reload New Classes" (see UEditorUserSettings::bAutomaticallyHotReloadNewClasses).

#jira UE-7384 - Using "Create New Asset" twice in a row causes an ensure generating the error message
[CL 2403504 by Richard TalbotWatkin in Main branch]
* Moved Slate.h into SlateBasics.h and began shifting less commonly used headers into SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h now simply includes SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h includes a deprecated warning now to indicate that SlateBasics.h + specific includes should be used instead.
* Moved dozens of inlined functions using Slate widgets into .cpp files to avoid header dependencies.
* All code samples now include SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h so future shifts will not break most those projects, but not trigger the deprecation warning of including Slate.h.

FScopedSlowTask has been refactored to better allow for nesting of slow operations. This allows us to cascade nested scopes and provide accurate feedback on slow tasks. FScopedSlowTasks now work together when nested inside sub functions. Break up long functions that contain calls to multiple nested FScopedSlowTasks with FScopedSlowTask::EnterProgressFrame().
Example Usage:
void DoSlowWork()
{
FScopedSlowTask Progress(2.f, LOCTEXT("DoingSlowWork", "Doing Slow Work..."));
// Optionally make this show a dialog if not already shown
Progress.MakeDialog();
// Indicate that we are entering a frame representing 1 unit of work
Progress.EnterProgressFrame(1.f);
// DoFirstThing() can follow a similar pattern of creating a scope divided into frames. These contribute to their parent's progress frame proportionately.
DoFirstThing();
Progress.EnterProgressFrame(1.f);
DoSecondThing();
}
This addresses TTP#338602 - NEEDS REVIEW: Editor progress bars nearly always just show 100%, don't offer useful indication of progress
