Hi,
For continuous integration and automated packaging scripts in general, would be very useful to be able to build the lighting of a map from command line.
Currently it seems not possible (from AnswerHub: Build lighting from command line - Rendering - Epic Developer Community Forums):
I think it could have been solved. User @Bozaro on AnswerHub reported that you can achieve it with:
UE4Editor.exe "<.uproject file>" <map name> -AutomatedMapBuild CLDesc="<commit message>" UseSCC=<true|false>
I’m unable to find any documentation on this feature. Does anyone know what UseSCC actually does? If it’s true is it going to check in all of the files? Does it check out (and lock) the files at any point i.e. are we going to have any lock or commit conflicts?
Looking at the linked AnswerHub, you can pass UseSCC=false.
Another developer reported a problem in FEditorBuildUtils::EditorAutomatedBuildSubmit(), where the level is (was?) saved before the building of lights is completed.
This feature is definitely not working with the command line here. It’s launching the editor, checking out the files, checking in the files, and then closing. It never actually builds the lighting.
+1 for this, I’m running a VR archviz company with a lot of quick turn around projects. We need to do frequent light builds over night so to be able to automate this would help massively.
I believe this is possible now? Problems building lighting from command line - Rendering - Unreal Engine Forums
Once the lighting has been built from the command line I’m assuming we have to save the project or at least save the map? IF so is there a Command line command to save a map?
A new commandlet has been added to 4.10 to build lighmaps: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/f89256dd0efb7d0b1427729a8f8a6007
As it uses the “ResavePackages” commandlet, I think the maps embedding the new lightmaps will be automatically saved.

Is the “Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x00000000” relating to the fact that I’m using Unreal Studio?
