Artists rebuilding code

Situation:

  • A mixed group of programmers, artists, designers and writers
  • A UE4 project with both BP and C++ logic
  • Everyone uses SVN

I read on various posts that the “Binaries” folder should not be part of the SVN files since everyone can rebuild them themselves.

If a programmer makes changes to the code. How does the artist, designer or writer know that he has to recompile his c++ code?

I guess a solution could be that if he sees that files in the “source” folder are modified or added, he will need to recompile his code again but that is very easy to forget.

Is there a way to put a flag (dirty bit) to force a recompilation when people update to this revision?

There is no such functionality currently. But… See pull request #619.
