I am trying to add a dedicated server to a blueprint only project. I am not a very experienced used of VS.
What i did -
Added a c++ code to the project
Packaged for development
Built the project under “Development Editor” configuration
Added the Server.Target.cs with proper replacements.
Built the project under “Development Server” configuration.
Copied the Server.exe from the project to the packaged project
Result -
Can anybody help me out with this error ?
You should use UAT to build you packaged builds. It correctly handles creating server and client builds, so you won’t need to be copying around files or doing multiple build steps.
You can create a .bat file with the following commands, and then run it whenever you want to create a new build. The following command will do an editor build, a standalone, and a dedicated server build. The editor will only be used to cook your assets to be run with your standalone and dedicated server.
call "D:\Epic Games\4.10\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\RunUAT.bat" -nop4 BuildCookRun -project=D:\MyGame\MyGame.uproject -platform=Win64 -clientconfig=Development -serverconfig=Development -server -servertarget=MyGameServer -build -cook -allmaps -stage -archive -archivedirectory=D:\MyGameBuilds\
pause

Thank you. I will surely try this method.
And yea regarding the issue I found the issue that I copied the file to a wrong folder. The most silly mistake I have ever made.
Anyways thankyou for this method. And yea I can close the topic now
