Not entirely sure what’s going on here when I tried to package my scene.

Here’s the output log up to the point where I start the package. I was packaging for Windows 64-bit and no other platform.

I goofed and didn’t think a text doc would’ve been nicer to post. link text

Hey there,

Recently dealt with this one :slight_smile:

Open the file located below or maybe the UAT log that is also in that folder and do a search for ":error’.
Go through all the errors and fixed them up, in my case I was getting an error in AnimSequence.cpp, and it was because the AnimationSequence reference right above the error didn’t have a valid skeleton. In that case I either double clicked the animation and set the skeleton or deleted the file.

I tried this and found this:

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): UE4Editor-Cmd: [2016.11.08-02.07.09:390][ 0]LogPackageName:Error: DoesPackageExist: DoesPackageExist FAILED: ‘/Game/Materials - Backup/WallArt_MAT’ is not a standard unreal filename or a long path name. Reason: Name may not contain the following characters:

Not entirely sure as to how it’s finding these errors since I don’t have spaces in my naming conventions. :confused:

Jeez… I can’t believe I made a folder with spaces. -_- It was just an empty folder. I think I made it when I was copying and moving around materials. Jeez. I’m so mad at myself. It worked after I deleted the folder and packaged it again.

Thanks a bunch! I’ll definitely use the :Error search method to nail down what errors I’m specifically getting next time!!
