Just got back to using UE4 and those engine updates seem amazing but after packing a dummy build it seems to be packaging Slate and Maps without calling both of those things at all
======= Slate packaging error? =======
— How-to pretty easy —
-
Make a blank project and add nothing at all
-
Package the project for Windows
-
Watch the debug for packaging add Slate content for Engine
-
Check inside the folder …/Engine/Content/Slate
Doesn’t seem to be intended as far as I can tell because its bundling folders with the names of “Tutorials” “Testing” and alot of unused icon’s as-well. Deleting the folder as-well doesn’t seem to effect the game itself in anyway either.
======= Unused map assets are overwriting default packaging without manual override=======
Seems to be bypassing the unused custom content check added by you guys to remove all unused assets in the package due to the fact all the unused assets are still being used but by doing a manual map cook it all gets fixed. That or I’m being dumb and missing something else that could be causing this.
-
Make a new project of First Person and include the Starter Content
-
Make a completely empty level and make that the new default map for everything.
-
Delete the Example_Map
-
Save and build the project for WINx64 with the default packaging settings
-
Watch as it adds ALL the unused assets and the finished total build size will now be 681MB
-
Go to your project DefaultEditor .ini and delete the string; [UnrealEd.SimpleMap]
SimpleMapName=/Game/Maps/Example_Map -
Do the more complex method of baking by adding the map such as in 11790/packaging-specific-maps-within-a-project
-
Watch as the unused assets no longer get added and the total build size is now only 182MB
