Cannot open Blocks.uproject with UE4.27 #4535

WarrenSkywalker · 2022-05-20T10:16:18Z

Question

What's your question?

I followed the instruction here:https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/unreal_blocks/, however, the UE4 cannot open the default Blocks environment in the AirSim. I found the version of the engine that made the Blocks.uprojcet is 4.27, which is the same as my UE version, it's wield that UE recognized the project came from an engine of different version.

Include context on what you are trying to achieve

Context details

Ubuntu 18.04LTS, AirSim master branch from its github, Unreal 4.27

Include details of what you already did to find answers

I've tried convert it in place, but met a compile error:
Building would modify the following engine files:
xxxxx/UE4Editor.modules
.....

Hi .
I am also meeting this error, have you solved yet?

WarrenSkywalker · 2022-05-23T07:57:13Z

I am having the same issue all of a sudden!

andrewjong · 2022-05-24T15:44:48Z

Hi all, I managed to open Blocks.uproject on my machine. UE4.27 on Ubuntu 18.04.

Cloned UnrealEngine to ~/UnrealEngine. Cloned AirSim to ~/AirSim
Cleaned the UBlocks project cd ~/AirSim/Unreal/Environments/Blocks && ./clean.sh
Installed mono-complete for Ubuntu 18.04, which lets you run .exe files on Linux
Made some symlinks: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/mono /bin/mono && sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mono /lib/mono
Ran the following command to rebuild the Blocks project: ~/UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/Mono/Linux/bin/mono ~/UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/DotNET/UnrealBuildTool.exe Development Linux -Project=/home/andrew/AirSim/Unreal/Environments/Blocks/Blocks.uproject -TargetType=Editor -Progress
Started UE4Editor from command line: ~/UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Editor
Clicked More > Browse > /home/andrew/AirSim/Unreal/Environments/Blocks/Blocks.uproject
Error shows up "This project was made with a different version of the Unreal Engine.". Click "More Options" > "Skip conversion"
Project opens, whala! Unfortunately you always have to click "Skip conversion" to open it. If anyone knows a better way, please feel free to share. Thanks!

Thanks for looking into this and providing a solution @andrewjong! Another solution I found is to follow the instructions in this forum post (I suspect this essentially doing the same thing as step 5 in his solution, just with a make command instead of using the UnrealBuildTool). Basically, this is happening because of an outdated BlocksEditor shared library left over from a previous build. I'll try and look into what specific build output needs to be cleaned up to avoid this, but in the meantime, everyone should be unblocked by either @andrewjong's solution or the forum post I linked to.

Here's the solution offered in the previously linked forum post:

/home//UE/UnrealEngine/GenerateProjectFiles.sh /home/projectName/projectName.uproject -game
cd /home/projectName/
make projectNameEditor

I have been running into the same issue for about a week or so and the solution from @andrewjong worked perfectly for me. Thank you for the help!

Davidsastresas · 2022-05-28T16:53:57Z

Thank you so much @andrewjong, your solution worked for me! Thanks thanks thanks!

@aliadeeba98 , based on the backslashes in your path, it looks like you're on Windows. The instructions I wrote are for Linux. However perhaps it will still work if you simply run ~/UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/DotNET/UnrealBuildTool.exe Development Windows -Project=/home/andrew/AirSim/Unreal/Environments/Blocks/Blocks.uproject -TargetType=Editor -Progress? Not entirely sure because I'm not on Windows myself.

@andrewjong I'm working on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and for executing the UnrealBuildTool.exe file in Linux I am taking the help of Wine software.

@andrewjong Thanks a lot!! Now, the issue has resolved.

andrewjong · 2022-06-03T14:23:13Z

mono should let you run the .exe in Linux

jacobsayono · 2022-06-29T05:50:55Z

@andrewjong hi, your solution worked to compile Blocks, but in the end, i would still get the error:
Engine modules are out of date, and cannot be compiled while the engine is running. Please build through your IDE.
do you think it is because i am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS?

tanyaspaul · 2022-10-10T04:44:43Z

same error on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS any tips or individual that managed to solve this issue?

gmgarciam · 2022-11-01T13:26:31Z

This command will generate project files for the game and then follow it with the make command.

./UnrealEngine/GenerateProjectFiles.sh '/Unreal Projects/MyProject/MyProject.uproject' -game
make

andrewjong · 2023-01-18T23:58:14Z

Since AirSim is now deprecated, I suggest transitioning to Colosseum Sim, which is a fork of AirSim. They've carried on AirSim to Unreal Engine 5. We use it for our project and it's working well.

I am faced wıth thıs error
Plugin 'SteamVR' failed to load because module 'SteamVR' could not be found. Please ensure the plugin is properly installed, otherwise consider disabling the plugin for this project.

panyaoqiang · 2023-06-15T11:45:29Z

I have also encountered this problem. Have you resolved it

abheek19 · 2023-06-19T07:09:42Z

Hi, @andrewjong ,
I tried all the steps you mentioned. 2 things I noticed while following the steps mentioned:

the SymLinks already existed, both of them. So I went forward with the following steps.
Even after going through all the steps, I still got the same error that as I started with.

@KadriyeNur, I also encounter your problem when using attentioned method, everything seems to be OK by just disabling the plugin. By the way, my PC is ubuntu 20.04

2. Cleaned the UBlocks project `cd ~/AirSim/Unreal/Environments/Blocks && ./clean.sh`

3. Installed [mono-complete for Ubuntu 18.04](https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin), which lets you run .exe files on Linux

4. Made some symlinks: `sudo ln -s /usr/bin/mono /bin/mono && sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mono /lib/mono`

I have Unreak Engine 5.2 and I don't have UnrealBuildTool, I found only UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/DotNET/UnrealBuildTool/UnrealBuildTool.
When I've run
