Applying Hive features

Build Unreal Engine

Refer to Prerequisites and download Unreal Engine source codes and build it.

Activate the Rosetta emulator for macOS

You need to use the Rosetta emulator on the Apple Silicon CPU-installed macOS development machine. Check Product > Destination > Destination Architectures > Show Rosetta Destinations on Xcode.

Adding Hive SDK to Unreal Editor

Add the Hive SDK as a plugin to Unreal Editor. If you do not have the Hive SDK for Unreal Engine, download the Hive SDK for Unreal Engine from SDK download page.

If you already downloaded the Hive SDK for Unreal Engine, follow the instructions below to add the Hive SDK as a plugin to the Unreal Editor:

Unzip the Hive SDK for Unreal Engine downloaded from Hive developers site, and copy all the items in the Plugin folder from the unpacked files to the Plugins folder under the root folder of your Unreal Engine game project.

Add "HIVESDK" to the parameter of PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange() method, which is implemented within the <Project_route>;/Source/<Project_route>;/<Project_name>;build.cs file, as the following example code. Replace with your actual project name.

public class <project_name>; : ModuleRules
{
       public <project_name>;(TargetInfo Target)
       {
             PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore" , "HIVESDK"});
                   ...
             }
             ...
      }

public class <project_name>; : ModuleRules

{

public <project_name>;(TargetInfo Target)

{

PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore" , "HIVESDK"});

...

}

...

}

Editing Unreal Engine File

Delete or edit the Unreal Engine file as follows.

Android

When the screen orientation is set to both directions (both horizontal and vertical) in the game build, the code below needs to be modified for the screen auto-rotation.

Go to the /Engine/Build/Android/Java/src/com/epicgames/unreal/GameActivity.java.template.

Add the HiveActivity.onConfigurationChanged() API.


@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig)
{
    HiveActivity.onConfigurationChanged(this, newConfig); // Add
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);



    // forward the orientation
    boolean bPortrait = newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
    nativeOnConfigurationChanged(bPortrait);

}

@Override

public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig)

{

HiveActivity.onConfigurationChanged(this, newConfig); // Add

super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

// forward the orientation

boolean bPortrait = newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;

nativeOnConfigurationChanged(bPortrait);

}

A compatibility issue exists between the Google Billing Library version 5 used by the Hive SDK and the Google Billing features built into Unreal Engine, causing the build to fail. Modify the code below to fix this issue.

Go to the /Engine/Plugins/Online/Android/OnlineSubsystemGooglePlay/Source/OnlineSubsystemGooglePlay.Build.cs

Comment out the following code


                 //string PluginPath = Utils.MakePathRelativeTo(ModuleDirectory, Target.RelativeEnginePath);
                 //AdditionalPropertiesForReceipt.Add("AndroidPlugin", Path.Combine(PluginPath, "OnlineSubsystemGooglePlay_UPL.xml"));

//string PluginPath = Utils.MakePathRelativeTo(ModuleDirectory, Target.RelativeEnginePath);

//AdditionalPropertiesForReceipt.Add("AndroidPlugin", Path.Combine(PluginPath, "OnlineSubsystemGooglePlay_UPL.xml"));

To use the Singular external library included in the Hive SDK, the files below needs to be modified.

Go to the /Engine/Build/Android/Java/src/com/android/vending/licensing
Delete the following files.
- ILicensingService.aidl
- ILicenseResultListener. aidl

iOS

To use the notification feature provided by the Hive SDK, the modification of Unreal Engine is required.

In the files below, add the lines marked with 'Add' comment.

Configure iOS FMallocAnsi

FMallocAnsi settings are required for proper compatibility between the Unreal Engine iOS environment and the C++ standard template library.

Add the following codes to the {YourProject}.Target.cs file in your game project.

public class YourProjectTarget : TargetRules
{    public YourProjectTarget(TargetInfo Target) : base(Target)
    {          // Force to execute ANSI allocator for the game client
        if(Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.IOS)
        {            GlobalDefinitions.Add("FORCE_ANSI_ALLOCATOR=1");        }    }}

public class YourProjectTarget : TargetRules

{ public YourProjectTarget(TargetInfo Target) : base(Target)

{ // Force to execute ANSI allocator for the game client

if(Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.IOS)

{ GlobalDefinitions.Add("FORCE_ANSI_ALLOCATOR=1"); } }}

Hive Settings

Configure the setting items to utilize Hive in accordance with the following instructions. If you change the settings, the values of Unreal Editor is automatically saved, and the files saving setting values (hive_config.xml, etc_string.xml and GooglePlayAppID.xml) save the changes automatically. If the file of setting value does not exist, Hive SDK automatically generate it and save at the following route:

Android:
<Project_Root folder>;/Plugins/HIVESDK/Source/HIVESDK/ThirdParty/android/resource/res/raw
iOS:
<Project_Root folder>;/Plugins/HIVESDK/Source/HIVESDK/ThirdParty/iOS/resource/

Follow the instructions below to set the values necessary for Hive:

Click Edit >; Project Settings in the menu on Unreal Editor. Project Settings screen will show up.
