Can't Generate Project Files - Unreal Tournament

Development Getting Started & Setup
, , , ,
1

I’m using the Unreal Tournament Repo from git. I’ve followed the installation instructions. Run setup.batch , then compile UnrealSwarm solution.

When I try to run Generate Project Files I keep getting the following error “Binding ItelliSense data… 0%ERROR: Couldn’t find module rules file for module ‘HarfBuzz’ .”

I’ve tried a fresh download and setup but I keep getting the error. Any ideas?

Hi Hmb3141,

  • What version of VS are you currently using?
  • What steps are you taking to get and generate the project files?
  • Do you get any errors on the launcher version of the UT editor or are your errors limited to the Git branch?

I’m having the exact same problem. VS 2013 Community with only MFC checked, followed the guide on Github perfectly yet when I get to run GenerateProjectFiles.bat " Binding ItelliSense data… 0%ERROR: Couldn’t find module rules file for module ‘HarfBuzz’ " in the prompt.

Ah, I think this is because we went with the clean-master build which is selected by default instead of the release build. Here is a topic that goes over it and includes a possible fix for our HarfBuzz error using the clean-master build.

EDIT: Indeed, the fix in the thread resolved my issue, but alternatively you can use the release build.

Using the release worked for me.
