I'm currently working on a game for gear vr in unreal engine 4.17 and I am having difficulties with accessing some of the oculus platform features via the unreal OSS. I have gotten entitlement to work with the blueprint node Verify Entitlement but the blueprint node Get Oculus Identity doesnt exit on either failure or success. I have tried to get the name via c++ with the following code:
auto OculusSubsystem = static_cast<FOnlineSubsystemOculus*>(IOnlineSubsystem::Get());
auto identityInterface = OculusSubsystem->GetIdentityInterface();
auto playerID = identityInterface->GetUniquePlayerId(0);
i then return the playerName and output it in one of the menus ingame and it prints localhost followed by random letters and numbers.
I have also tried to access the native c api as recommended by some of the staff here in the forums but if I add the libovrplatform as follows in the build.cs file: PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "LibOVRPlatform" });
then Unreal Engine will crash everytime I build the c++ project if there are any ovr_* calls.
Here are 3 lines from the crash log that i believe are the only signifcant Unknown exception - code c06d007e
I have even tried disabling the oculus online subsystem with the plan of handling everything myself by coding against the native c api (libovrplatform) but then I get linker errors everytime i try to call an ovr_* function.
So my question is: How can I get the oculus username (am i missing something)? And if this is not possible with the unreal OSS then how can I access the native C API without unreal engine crashing?
This is due to a data use checkup not being submitted through the oculus developer dashboard for your project. The request must be approved, then Oculus Identity starts working immediately in UE (PIE, included). This requires a privacy policy to be submitted to them. I used RocketLawyer.com.
