Does anyone know if it is possible to create a visual studio project file for UE4 from a mac?

I’ll be running visual studio professional in a windows virtual machine using virtualbox.

I don’t know why you want to do this, as you should use Xcode on OSX, but you might try to run uproject file with UnrealVersionSelector.exe (which you can find in laucher directory) with /projectfiles argument in command line thru your virtualbox, keep in mind this program will need to see both UE4 and VS in windows registry in order to work :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks, I’ll see if I can find a way to get that to work…

You will need to run the GenerateProjectFiles.bat script from Windows to generate a Visual Studio project. The Mac will only generate Xcode projects (and vice-versa).
