Hi, I wonder if its possible to convert originally FPS BP created project to c++ code project, in the end they will be executed at the low level c++ code snippets, so do we go as usual here, File-\>Open Visual Studio File? ---

Hi again I ran into problem when I followed the Rama instructions, in VS2015 program couldn’t find the default map(which is GameDefaultMap=/Game/FirstPersonBP/Maps/FirstPersonExampleMap) during game execution. I noticed that its been controlled by DefaultEngine.ini , GameDefaultMap=/Game/FirstPersonBP/Maps/FirstPersonExampleMap variable but it seems that this is malfunctioning, even though that the file is there physically, is there any workaround for that? ---

From File menu, just pick New C++ Class… ---

Can you elaborate a bit more, its a umap which couldn’t be found by application what relevance does it have with New C++ Class? If its possible I would like to load the map at run time. ---

Very easy to add c++ to existing BP project. With project open in UE editor, From File menu, just pick New C++ Class… Here is great c++ QuickStart > **[Programming Quick Start](https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/ProgrammingAndScripting/ProgrammingWithCPP/CPPProgrammingQuickStart/)** > > Create your first code project and add a new C++ class. (In general, you can do way more way easier with Blueprints) ---

OK I’ve read most of them, but my problem was : Having BP FPS project in hand how to covert into c++ fully fledged project. I managed to get it working to some extent by entrypoint which points to the Rama’s great instructions ([A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://wiki.unrealengine.com/How_to_Convert_a_BP/Content_Project_to_a_C%2B%2B_Project_in_8_Steps)). The only thing remaining is: in VS2015 runing the application results in that it couldn’t find the FirstPersonExampleMap, so I was wondering if there was another workaround or tweak to make it find that? Error Message Dialog is: _The map specified on the commandline ‘Game/FirstPersonBP/Maps/FirstPersoneExampleMap’ could not be found Exiting._ ---

There is a typo in your path. Perhaps that is your issue? :rolleyes:
