I’m currently working with my friends on our project but the thing is when they send it to me in a zip file I have no idea what to do,you see when I open the file the first thing I do is double click on the project (with the UE4 logo on it) and when it loads up I don’t see the stuff they added in so I can work on it, How can I open the project that they sent me without it showing me nothing?
HI.
Couple of things just to make sure:
- Are you guys on the exact same version of the Engine?
- Is it a Blueprint or C++ project? If C++ right click on the .uproject file and generate Visual Studio files.
- What’s the directory structure? Is it exactly the same as your friends? I ask this because its possible that she/he didn’t send you everything. Grab the entire directory structure except for Intermediate, Saved and Binaries.
- Consider using source control, like Perforce or Git because that will solve a ton of problems. No sending zip files getting confused on who modified what. I use Git, and it works well, but others like Perforce. Lots of tutorials on both. If you use Git, you will need Git-LFS for large files.
- What exactly is missing?
Thanks!
