Rocket beta orientation pdf

couple of little things

the link to visual studio update 1 doesnt exist
searching msn i only found update 3

the section explaining how to generate project files for programming
white text on a light blue background is almost impossible to read

edit:
also i get an error about platform on the second cmd step

the link to visual studio update 1 doesnt exist searching msn i only found update 3

Looks like MS took down the link for update 1. Just talked to our engineer, and update 3 should work fine.

We’re not seeing this, does your PDF not look like the example below?

also i get an error about platform on the second cmd step

We’re not seeing this either. Tried both VS2012 update 1 and 3, tried on different drives, all generate without a problem. Are you by chance entering the entire 2nd argument? It might look like 2 separate lines, but it’s just wordwrapped in the PDF. Should be the following:

  • In cmd, enter the following: cd C:\Program Files\Rocket\Engine\Source
  • After, enter the following (all one entry, you have to replace the text in brackets to your ShooterGame path): ..\Binaries\DotNET\RocketUnrealBuildTool.exe -ProjectFiles -rocket="[ShooterGamePath]\ShooterGame.uproject" -rocket

If this still doesn’t work, can you tell me your exact setup? Which VS are you using, where is Rocket located, is the Rocket program folder renamed, where is ShooterGame located, what platform are you on (mac or PC), etc.

Thanks!

white text, blue background

i saved an offlive version of the pdf, its possibly the viewer im using, clicked the link from my welcome email and it has black text (foxit reader)

update 3 works fine

tried the cmd again and it does indeed generate the bat file but with errors, because i was struggling to see the text in the pdf i mistakenly put -rocket**-** instead of -rocket**=**

Hi Mick - tried using your exact setup and it still generated the SLN fine. Looping in an engineer to take a look at your cmd errors to see what might be the cause.

Looks like RocketUnrealBuildTool is finding ShooterGame.Build.cs and ShooterGame.Target.cs files more than once. These files are auto-discovered in your [ShooterGamePath]\Source folder. Make sure these files appear only once in the Source folder for ShooterGame. Also, these files may have been discovered in your Rocket install folder. Make sure you don’t also have a ShooterGame folder next to your Engine folder in C:\Program Files\Rocket (or whatever your install path is)

yes thats right i had a copy of that folder next to the engine too, for a backup.
thanks
