Rebuild Out Of Date Plugin

I am trying to use this plugin from GitHub that I found to suit my needs for a project I’m working on, however it’s not updated to the latest Unreal Engine 4 Version. I’ve tried searching for ways to fix the issues but none of the ones that I have found seem to fix it.

The link to the GitHub is here: GitHub - mik14a/VOX4U: MagicaVoxel VOX Format import plugin for Unreal Engine 4

I’m not sure if it’s possible to fix or not, or if the plugin creator has to update it, or what. Any help would be appreciated if able to fix the issue, or if it’s impossible. The error that I keep on getting is either to recompile the project manually, or to rebuild the plugin itself manually. Maybe someone more smart then myself can assist me with it because I’m stumped if there’s a way to fix it. I may just have to use the older version that’s compatible with the plugin if unable to update it to 4.12.

Solved. After actually searching up how to properly install plugins from GitHub, instead of searching for the problem specifically I figured out I was putting the files in the incorrect place, instead of placing it in the Editor Version’s Plugin Folder, I had to put it in the Project Folder, and make a new folder named “Plugins” made another folder inside called “VOX4U” then I just generated the project files and it worked after launching again after rebuild.

Thank you! I had left out the “VOX4U” folder under “Plugins”. Worked like a charm.

Any chance you can share how you got this plugin to work and how it actually brings the .vox files into the editor? Do you still find it useful or do you just import OBJs instead?
I’ve been trying to fumble my way through rebuilding it in 4.16, and tried to load it in 4.11 just to see how it works with no luck on either path.
Cheers!
