THREAD FOR LATEST COMPILED BUILDS UE 5.6 - [SOLVED]Made it work in 5.1 but compile issue at launch for UE 5.2.1

[indu111]

I used Electroball's branch solution and made it work in UE 5.1
777fb59

But I can't make it work in 5.2.
Any solutions or help would be really helpful @neil3d !

Thanks once again for a spectacular plugin!

After editing three files it now compiles successfully. Tested on Unreal Engine 5.3.

Here's the patch file: diff.patch

How to apply the patch:

put diff.patch in AnimatedTexturePlugin folder and open cmd in that folder

method1) if git is already installed
"C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\patch.exe" -p0 -i diff.patch

method2) using gnuwin
download Patch for Windows and extract and rename patch.exe to apply_diff.exe
apply_diff -p0 -i diff.patch

Hey @HephaestusOwl ! Thank you for doing the 5.3 fix. I see @neil3d merged it in. So now when I go here:
https://github.com/neil3d/UAnimatedTexture5
and click the green code button, download the zip file, extract it and copy the plugins folder and paste in any of my 5.3.2 projects, it should work right? Or am I doing something wrong?

I tried this both in 5.2 and 5.3.2 and I get asked "Would you like to rebuild them now?" upon launching project and after clicking yes, it errors and closes "UAnimatedTexture5 could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually."

Please do kindly help as its an emergency need for the plugin and I still only have it working only till 5.1.1. It doesn't compile on 5.2 or 5.3.2.

Built using UE 5.3.2.rar.zip
Already compiled, just extract it in your 5.3.2 project Plugins folder.

If you'd like to see your build errors (when compiling yourself)

Create an empty C++ project, create a Plugins folder in project directory, copy AnimatedTexturePlugin to it, then compile project in Visual Studio.

Thank you for this @HephaestusOwl ! This worked for 5.3. I'm using this tool for a free city building course and I pointed all my students to your solution above and they were happy to use it so far! However they are unable to use it for the latest builds so I wanted to ask for a favor.
I would absolutely love it if you could please compile it for 5.4 and 5.5 and attach them here like you did for 5.3. My scripting and compiling knowledge is not as good as yours so I would appreciate any help!

❤️

Thank you so much for the quick response and the precompiled files. I sent the link to your comment to my students. I appreciate your help in keeping this plugin alive long after it's original shelf life :)

Thank you again @HephaestusOwl and @NoahAndTheRats for compiling these! Students learning UE5 who take my free cinematic city building course often need this plugin to scatter neon signs and advert GIFS everywhere and having folks like you compile it for them, helps them a lot!
I truly appreciate it :)

5.7 Broke a large chunk of it due to it getting rid of some functions the plugin used, but I got it up and running
