Epic once made a Crop_E_Assist tool, which is great for optimization and I have been using it a lot.
You can find it here: UDK | CroppedEmissiveAssistant
A while ago I moved from Photoshop CS2 to CS6 and the tool wont work anymore.
after some google-ing I found the issue.
Plugins in cs6 and higher dont like “spaces” in their filenames.
After removing all the spaces in the files I got the Assist tool to work again.
But I bet Epic would want to update this on their own website.
Also, semi on-topic.
Would it be possible for Epic to add an option to copy the value’s outputted by the Assist tool to my clipboard for easier access later?
(anything to increase workflow speed right?)
Thank you for your report. We were not able to investigate this on the engine version you reported, but there have been many version changes to UE4 since this question was first posted. With a new version of the Engine comes new fixes and it is possible that this issue has changed or may no longer occur. Due to timetable of when this issue was first posted, we are marking this post as resolved for tracking purposes.
If you are still experiencing the issue you reported in the current engine version, then please respond to this message with additional information and we will investigate as soon as possible. If you are experiencing a similar, but different issue at this time, please submit a new report for it.
Sorry about the response. You would be correct in assuming that it was automated. We do not foresee dedicating our engine resources to other projects outside of UE4.
