Claim Free Asset Packs from the Unreal Engine Marketplace (Epic Games Store) #44

EthanC · 2023-01-04T06:17:22Z

Each month, Epic releases a handful of asset packs for the Unreal Engine for free to all developers. These assets are made available on the Unreal Engine Marketplace, which seems to be a curated version of the Epic Games Store. There is a "Free for the Month" filter on the Unreal Engine Marketplace to find these product listings.

Here is the latest drop: Featured free Unreal Marketplace content—January 2023

foscoj · 2023-02-23T09:19:46Z

That feature would improve this already great tool even more :)

…c-games, #44

vogler · 2023-04-29T09:07:07Z

Please test it with node unrealengine.js. I just claimed the current assets successfully. There still may be some bugs though. Login code and options are the same as for epic-games.

EthanC · 2023-05-02T23:37:51Z

@vogler I'm not sure how to test it in Docker, could we get an environment variable for it? Maybe like EG_CLAIMUE=1?

EthanC · 2023-05-02T23:44:03Z

Update: Added the following line to docker-compose.yml...

    command: node unrealengine.js

Result is a TimeoutError on the first attempted claim, I also confirmed via browser that the package was not claimed.

Apparently the detection for it needs to be adjusted.

Hacky solution - if the authenticated user's name appears to be Sign In, can the script attempt to reauthenticate?

vogler · 2023-06-01T22:22:26Z

'Sign In'/user detection works for me now and it claimed all assets successfully.
However, the Thank you locator seems to be wrong and I missed to use RECORD=1 to check what it should be.

Interesting. Maybe it needs some time to set the value after adding all to the cart?
What happens if you run it again such that you get ↳ Already in cart for all of them?

Thanks! Still need to check if
1 . the 2s wait solved the Price is not 0 error if all assets are first ↳ Added to cart,
2. why the text Thank you is not found. For epic-games it had to be changed from Thank you for buying to Thanks for your order! in #128. Maybe the Thank you! text shown in your video is still in iframe and not page. Should step through it with PWDEBUG=1.

EthanC · 2023-06-06T17:39:40Z

New assets for June are now available. I see an error when attempting to run with RECORD=1 and PWDEBUG=1 in Docker.

Hello, I have tried to mount the application in my docker and what are the games of epic, prime and gog if I go but the unreal does not work, I tried to check the code on my own and I have not managed to make it work, am I the only one that happens?

vogler · 2023-10-28T11:34:22Z

@IOxee I haven't checked it for a while. Maybe it's broken since something changed. Paste your log, then we can check where it fails.

Elaborendum · 2023-10-28T19:24:51Z

I'm running this without Docker and choosing to show the browser because captchas, but despite my login from the main Epic Games store being recognized by the Unreal Engine site, this script doesn't recognize me and asks me to login. Signing out and relogging didn't seem to work either.

Logs don't really clear things up

rolfwendt · 2023-12-06T06:54:25Z

Thanks! Still need to check if 1 . the 2s wait solved the Price is not 0 error if all assets are first ↳ Added to cart,

I'm running your fabulous script on a more low-end machine. For me, 2 seconds is too low. I've checked it in SHOW=1 mode and it took multiple seconds to load the cart thing, so I regularly got "Price: undefined instead of 0".

I've tested "await page.waitForTimeout(20000);" (increasing by factor 10) and that fixed the issue.

biast12 · 2024-01-02T00:20:03Z

@vogler i'm having the same issues as both Elaborendum and rolfwendt, any way you would be able to look into this when you get time? find this feature extremely useful i might say

Primajin · 2024-03-11T09:50:16Z

Currently it looks like it will only check for the free packs of the month - is there also an option to go through all free packs?

Primajin · 2024-04-03T09:22:35Z

I'm getting

  ↳ Added to cart
Price:  undefined instead of 0
Price is not 0! Exit!

now

This fix the issue with undefined price. The price wouldn't be defined in the shopping cart unless clicked if it was empty on page load.

yadalik · 2024-08-25T03:31:53Z

Not using docker, on win10, with SHOW=1 set, it starts Nightly, at first getting infinite Cloudfare "checking are you human".
In unrealengine.js changed original userAgent to this userAgent for firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0 and it worked, then I changed it again to originals everything was working, then stopped working again on both userAgents when I done everything, anyways, not the case this time:
I was trying to gather ALL free assets with URL_CLAIM = 'https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/free?count=100&sortBy=effectiveDate&sortDir=DESC, I've already claimed many of them manually before on the 1st page, and seeing this Free, it well recognized as already claimed, but something strange is happening here:

  'https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/pid-controller-01'

  ↳ Already claimed

  name: 'TimeoutError'
}

(venv) c:\prj\epic_autoinstaller\free-games-claimer>

It does not have .btn.add class for ACE Unreal Engine inside details class: https://i.imgur.com/s3x17ZR.png, but have <div class="buylink-spacer"></div> near to it: https://i.imgur.com/8ClMrl3.png hope this would help.

I'm not sure, but maybe deleting timeout here:

    await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
    const price = (await page.locator('.shopping-cart .total .price').innerText()).split(' ');

and putting it below console.log(' ↳ Added to cart'); will significantly speed up things, for now I have to wait like 100s "already in cart". Maybe it would require adding timeout on shopping cart checkouts...

Primajin · 2024-09-18T07:20:46Z

Looks like the store will be "Fab" now 🤷🏻

https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/fab-content-marketplace-launches-in-october-publishing-portal-opens-today

Primajin · 2024-10-23T08:37:54Z

"Fab" launched today and it offers a flag to specifically only get free content. So one would need to loop through and add them to the Library.

The friendly people at Epic even added an id="agreedToEULA" for us 🙏🏻

We have

Furthermore it hides mature content by default, so if you want everything one would need to at &ui_filter_maturity=1

Sometimes you also have to select that you are an individual contributor:

However sometimes it seems to be the other way round, so maybe we need a flag here where the user can set if they are professional or individual
