Development Programming & Scripting
1

I download UE4.3 from GitHub and compiled it very well. after that launch UE4 with Development Editor -Win64. ok.
after that, UE4 tried to install UnrealEngine-Launcher. ok.
where launcher, I download ShooterGame for UE4.3.0 from MarketPlace. the launcher download it to my document folder. ok.

my question is… how can I compile ShooterGame??? when I use license version of UE4, ShootetGame has a .build.cs and others. And it place at root folder on engine.

is there something change after some month ago?

P.S : I can’t find ‘RegisterShellCommands.bat.’

Hi ekflame,

Have you right-clicked the project file and generated the visual Studio project files? This will get you the solution files. You can also right-click to associate the project with different engines installed on your pc.

–hope that helps.

by right clicking, I select ‘switch unreal engine version’. after that, I choose my gitHub engine folder. It worked very well. thanks a lot~~

Hey

Is this a problem you’ve had while trying to build the engine from Github? At what point in the process are you trying to open the context menu and it is not showing up?

when after download sample projects from market store. but now I don’t need it because I make .sln fro .uproject by batch file.
