Add EditPackage

This is a Basic Procedure tutorial page. It explains how to perform a single procedure which is required in many different contexts.

Overview

  • EditPackages are a list of unreal package files that will be automatically loaded on startup of the editor.
  • They are used by UnrealEd and Ucc.
  • They are defined in Game Ini File (ie: in UT2004 it's UT2004.ini).
  • EditPackages are loaded in the same order they are defined in the ini file.
  • Editor will crash if EditPackage cannot be loaded:
    • The package may not exist or be invalid.
    • The package may be in directory that wasn't defined as valid Path in game ini.
    • The package may require another package to be loaded first.
  • EditPackages are defined using file name only.
    • Do not add package file extension
    • Do not add package file path

Tips

  • Editor startup time can be reduced from minutes to couple seconds by removing game-specific EditPackages.
