Describe the bug
I'm trying to setup Incredibuild to work with lumbr_waf. I have used the lmbr_waf show_option_dialog command to bring up the options panel for it. When attempting to enable "Use Incredibuild", it tells me:

[ERROR] Incredibuild on "All Platforms" Disabled - Missing IB licence: "Make && Build tools"

I am using the latest version of Incredibuild and have enabled it with my license. I have also confirmed that the "Make & Build Tools" package was allocated to my machine. This prevents me from using Incredibuild with WAF to improve my build times.

Steps to reproduce
Open command line. Navigate to and run lmbr_waf show_option_dialog. Attempt to enable "use_incredibuild" option.

Expected behavior
I would expect that it would detect that I have Incredibuild installed with a valid license and have the "Make & Build Tools" package allocated to my machine.

https://forums.awsgametech.com/t/loading-a-level-on-start/986/4

The problem is the gem which it recommends to use is now deprecated and we shouldn't have to hack the engine to get this to work.

Pretty trivial issue but I felt it should be given some attention.

What is your question?
There's no delete option in the project configurator or command line. Deleting the project files causes the editor to no longer open.

Which part of the engine are you asking about?
Please indicate the component of the engine that your question relates to (e.g., Script Canvas, PhysX, Animation etc.).

Which version of Lumberyard are you using?
State the Lumberyard version that you're using (e.g., v1.14.0.1 or v1.15.0.0 etc.).

Describe the bug
Get Canvas Position node of Script Canvas is only retrieving correct values once, subsequent calls return incorrect values.

Steps to reproduce
Create UI Canvas, create first element to fill screen (100% Bottom and 100% Right Anchors).
Create second element as child of first element with bottom and right anchors set to 100%, set width and height offsets to 50px, add default image component for visibility.
Create one entity with UI Canvas Asset Ref pointing to the newly created UI Canvas.
Create second entity with Input and Script Canvas components, input bindings register Mouse Left Click, Script Canvas loads canvas, finds child element by name, connects to input bus and gets canvas position of child element on left click, printing the position to console.
First left click prints the child element's coordinates correctly, however, subsequent clicks print (0,0) for child element's coordinates. Visually, the child element remains in same position.

Describe the bug
Previously whenever I added any assets to the project folder, they appeared in the lumberyard editor. The asset processor popped up and then it was added to the folder. But now anytime I add an asset outside of lumberyard or within lumberyard editor, the assets or the new folders I create do now show up in the asset browser within lumberyard editor. .

Steps to reproduce

1. Navigate to the D:\Amazon\Lumberyard\1.17.0.0\Dev\
2. Create folder called objects
3. Add character fbx files in objects
   4.Navigate to lumberyard editor and launch it
   5.Search the path you've created the folder and added the fbx files to
4. The folder containing the assets and the new folder itself does not appear in the asset browser.
5. Similarly if I import within the editor, I get the same result.

Expected behavior
Please provide a concise description of what you expected to happen.

So I've been trying to get lumberyard up and running for the last 4 hours, switching between different solutions, although I cannot seem to build or create a new project. I've tried to let it sit for up to 45 minutes, but given my pc specs, I don't expect it to take that long.

I've tried to install both VS2015 and VS2017. I've edited project files according to the newest video put on the lumberyard youtube channel, and I've restarted multiple times.

The only thing logs are showing for the project, is the following:

Describe the bug
Geometry Cache textures are distorted when using Geometry Cache component. Alembic animations appear to have incorrect UV mapping.

Steps to reproduce
Create a plane, sphere or cube in Maya. Animate the mesh and export it as an alembic cache (including its UV map). Open the alembic file with the Geometry Cache component and apply a checkerboard material. (Alembic exports from Maya, Houdini and Blender all reproduce the bug.)

Expected behavior
Textures should not appear randomly distorted and should correspond to the mesh's UV.

Screenshots/Logs
Here is an animated plane with a square UV clearly displaying distortion on the edges.

Describe the bug
I keep getting this error when attempting to run the Lumberyard Editor. This is a fresh install of Lumberyard, fresh (full) install of Visual Studio 2017, and a new project created in Project Configurator using only default gems and project settings. I have navigated to /dev and I ran lmbr_waf configure as well as lmbr_waf build_win_x64_vs2017_profile -p game as well as lmbr_waf build_win_x64_vs2017_profile -p game_and_engine, and I am still getting the error. The frustrating part is the Error window I'm getting says:

To continue, please build the current project before attempting to run Asset Processor again.

Which I clearly have done.

Steps to reproduce

• Install Amazon Lumberyard
• Create new Project (with default settings)
• Attempt to open Lumberyard Editor

Expected behavior
I expected the Lumberyard editor to open and allow me to begin working on my newly created game project.

I'm trying to optimize the editor's layout for a small screen and would like to disable the preview column in the Assets Browser, please.

Hi

In Houdini there is an awesome feature for changing field values:

What happens there:

• I hold middle mouse button and drag mouse left-right and value is changed depending on currently selected increment.
• Depending on vertical position of mouse increment is changed.

It will allow faster workflow.

I'm quite unfamiliar with the built-in Lua editor, and I don't like it so far. Would like to see an option to switch double click/opening file behavior to use an associated application instead of right-clicking on the file every time.

The guide on the AWS documentation site and this repo are not very clear on how to download and install. It would be great if we got to know, how to install lumberyard in an offline environment

Hi

I got very used to proper Entity-Component-System architecture (separate from DOD). And used a lot of ECS frameworks. As you probably know Unity goes in a ECS way.

What are your plans for it?
Main use-case for me would be to query world for all entities with component A and B, without component C and do something with them.

I know there are EBuses for code organization, but ECS feels more logical and easier to track systems execution order.

Describe the bug
Game crashes on debug mode when calculating physics area?

Steps
In dev/Code/CryEngine/CryPhysics/physarea.cpp line 372, pdata should be initialized to nullptr, cause it gets used on line 407 without being initialized, which causes a crash on debug mode.

Lumberyard version
1.18

What is your question?
I'm using git as my version control solution and I'm curious if there is a recommended way to migrate a game project to newer versions of Lumberyard as they're released. Based on the readme, Lumberyard recommends forking the repo and creating a branch for a game project. This would require merging newer versions into my branch which contains an older version + my game project.

Is it better to create a separate branch just for my game project and rebase it onto newer versions of Lumberyard? Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, I'm new to Lumberyard :P

Which part of the engine are you asking about?
Version control, project management, gems.

Which version of Lumberyard are you using?
v1.15, but moving to v1.16.

5. Entered the "Name" and then selected default (I've also tried this with "Empty". Note: at first I received errors at step 2 "Configuring Project" saying that the platform, build-tools, google license SDK was not installed. So I ended up downloading Android Studio then unpackaging those files in the same directory that lumberyard was pointing to. After I did that I was able to complete all 5 steps in creating a project.
   See screenshot:
   
6. After I successfully created the project set it as default and closed out of Project Configurator
7. I clicked Lumberyard Editor 1.17.0.0 icon on my desktop and launched Lumberyard Editor.
8. I got the following error as seen in the screenshot:
   
9. I clicked ok then got the next error in the following screenshot:
   

10. I performed the following:
    Deleted my temp folder: D:\Amazon\Lumberyard\1.17.0.0\dev
    Opened a command window and navigated to D:\Amazon\Lumberyard\1.17.0.0\dev
    Ran lmbr_waf configure
    Ran lmbr_waf build_win_x64_vs2017_profile -p all

I got some yellow messages during the build, some white,and some green.
In the end I had a success message below:

11. I tried to go back to Lumberyard editor and launch it and I still got the same messages.

12. I bought an Alienware laptop in jan and I have literally been trying to get lumberyard to work for almost a month. I have wipped my computer and tried to reinstall the software over and over again. If anyone could please help me, I've tried everything and search everywhere for a possible result. I have also followed some other install instructions that had me go into visual studio in order to build but I am still getting the same outcome. Please if anyone could help me or point me in the right direction.

Expected behavior
Please provide a concise description of what you expected to happen.

• I am expecting to be able to create a new game then launch it in the editor without errors

Lumberyard version
1.17

Hi

That is the key part for me and a lot of other developers who I was talking to about Lumberyard.

There are 2 ways to code now (non visually):

• Lua => C# wins in IDE quality, libraries, community AND performance. And C# is supported using mono in CryEngine. (Not ideal, but something)
• C++ => C# is way less verbose, easier to learn and code.

I hope there will be ability to use C# at some point. I like lumberyard so far, but coding for it is THE problem for me.

Describe your feature request:
River component with caustic effect like water or occean.

Describe workarounds or alternatives you've considered:
like infinite ocean component:

Describe the bug
WASD movement stops working in the editor randomly while arrows work fine. Switching focus from Lumberyard window to another or clicking to blank space helps sometimes.

Steps to reproduce
Enter/exit play mode and select any object in the Entity Outliner using StarterGame project.

Lumberyard version
1.18.0.0

It's quite inconvenient to search every time for a certain script in the Asset Browser. Would like to see an option in the component dropdown menu to quickly edit attached Lua/C++ scripts.

Describe your feature request
When you create/remove component you need to add/remove it to waf file and ProjectModule. That takes time and is easy to forget.

I think it will be beneficial to insert component descriptors into some abstraction of projectModule using code generator. Same for waf.

May be add new command to waf for it?
So we could just add it into build script.

What is your question?
I tried to build project, using VS2017, but it said that it cannot find QT, but I've installed all required modules via Setup Assistant, so I went to 3drparty/Qt/{ver}/ and found version just for msvc140, there were not Qt for msvc141(VS2017). I've found VS2015 iso and installed it, but now I get the next errors:
Compilation failed - File: 'StreamSocketDriver.cpp.3470101.obj', Module: 'GridMate', Configuration: 'win_x64_vs2015|profile', error code 2 and other (this is the first one).
How to fix it?
