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.
