Cook Error Can't Export

Hello I’ve been working on this game for the whole semester in a game development class but didn’t realize that when you cook your game there would be errors that don’t appear in the editor. I’m including the log of what went wrong in [THIS][1]. If this isn’t the right log file I also uploaded the other version, [THIS][2]. If you don’t want to read through it, the majority of the problems that I found while scrolling through it, were file name begin to long for files that I deleted already. Is there a specific action I have to complete to totally delete a file from the game map including all references to the deleted object in order for it not to be referenced anymore if this is the problem that it is encountering?

Neon Bolt 54,

Could you please upload your output error logs? The logs provided only state the file names and the folders they’re under.

Thanks!

Sorry about how long this took, I copied all of the information when trying to cook into two files, one is a [TEXT][1]file and one is a [LOG][2]file. They both have the same information in them just saved to two separate formats. If these aren’t the right files that you want, please direct me to where I can locate the files that you do want me to post.

If you move the project to something like C:\unreal does it still pose a problem?

I don’t know what that would change, but i moved it back to C:\users\me\Documents\Unreal Projects and here are the results of cooking it from there, the [Text][1] file and the [Log][2] file.

well, you didn’t help it as this path is still 258 characters long. :slight_smile:

Try doing what I’ve suggested

The offending path:

C:/Users//Documents/Unreal Projects///Content/MyContent/Animations/Textures/Environment/textures-objects/C192-052915-002-Marble-Top-Half-Moon-Asian-Style-Hall-Table-225-2-924x784_Sprite.uasset

oh crap, I just realized that when I change the name of a sprite in the content browser it doesn’t auto change it in the world outliner, that’s why that name: C192-052915-002-Marble-Top-Half-Moon-Asian-Style-Hall-Table-225-2-924x784_Sprite.uasset is still there even though I changed it to Side_Table. That’s pretty dumb. Also, it looks like the sub folders that I have the world outliner aren’t added to the path as those where found under 1FirstFloor_Persistent/Sprites/Foyer/C192-052915-002-Marble-Top-Half-Moon-Asian-Style-Hall-Table-225-2-924x784_Sprite.uasset do i not have to worry about removing files in the world outliner or should I do that as I go through and rename everything in the worldOutliner?

Also I attempted to re build the project and for the first time, green text appeared! but there seemed to be a lot more Errors that poped up as well, [text][1] [log][2]

Hey Neon Bolt 54,

The following are the failures/errors/warnings within your project. Typically, it’s best to resolve as many warnings as possible and resolve all failures and errors. Some of your filenames are too long and some of your files cannot be found.

Please rename your files that have really long names. Please right-click in the content browser and fix up redirectors. I’d also make sure that all blueprints, code, etc have been updated with the correct filepath to the assets/textures/etc in your game.

I can’t find any instances of the editor making the statement that the file names are too long as I have went through and tried my best to find any instance of that but it’s not there anymore yet it still won’t cook. The problem I’m currently facing is the fact that the editor is making references to objects that don’t exist and I don’t know why.

To further elaborate on this, it seems that whenever I delete an asset or static mesh, or anything else I create in the content browser, then instantiate it into the world Outliner then delete it from the content browser, I think it’s not deleting it’s instance in the world outliner, leading to the world outliner trying to make a reference to an object I don’t want to exist in the world. The only thing that’s wrong with that though is that I can’t find a null reference in the world outliner and it took me like 3 hours to go through every instance I created in world Outliner and make sure they had a visual representation inside the game. I want to know how I can find these references to object that don’t exist and delete the reference to the object I don’t want to use anymore.

Hey,

You have some file names that are too long, please keep in mind the folders that are involved with the file path as well. For example: Error Couldn’t save package, filename is too long: C:/Users//Desktop///Content/MyContent/Animations/Textures/Environment/textures-objects/bed-pillows-blanket-corner-room-d-illustration-top-view-49917729_Sprite.uasset

I’d change that to this, or something similar: C:/Users//Desktop///Content/Ani/Tex/Env/tex-obj/bed-plw-blkt-cnr-rm-d-ills-top-view-49917729_Sprite.uasset

  • When you’re deleting items from the content browser that are added to your game, are you forcing the delete or are you replacing the object in question?
  • Can you see the deleted objects in the viewport?
  • Have you tried deleting your intermediate and saved folders from your project?

Thanks!

Before I response to this, I’ll tell you that I can now export the project but this only happened because I downloaded the latest version, 4.11.2 of Unreal and it seemed to clean up, or at least let me export the project finally so that’s good. Of course a butt load of warnings now pop up every time I try to do anything or save changes to the level. but it exports and that’s what matters for this first project of mine. I’ll still respond to your questions though if nothing more than for curiosity as to what went wrong as it’s still not fixed, only working. Tell me if I should continue this here or in another thread.

I have shortened the names of all textures but like in your example, I don’t know where the reference to bed-plw-blkt-cnr-rm-d-ills-top-view-49917729_Sprite.uasset even is. That’s the name of it when I first imported it into the project but I change the the name of it shortly after. I placed a few instances of it in the world before I did but I have since gone through the painstaking task of going through ever asset in the World Outliner and making sure their name is correct.

When I was deleting from the content browser, yes I force deleted them, and I did it a lot. I know it said to only do this as a last resort but I couldn’t figure out how else to delete any object because whenever I try to delete anything, the force delete pops up. Could you maybe tell me, or point me to a thread that tells me what to do to a uasset to make it so the force delete doesn’t come up and it can just get removed, or does force delete always happen.

Can you see the deleted objects in the viewport?

I can not

Have you tried deleting your intermediate and saved folders from your project?

No would that help in a way? Also, could anything potentially go wrong if I were to delete the intermediate and saved folders?

No I have not tryed deleteing my intermediate and saved folders from my project, would that help in a way? Also, could anything potentially go wrong if I were to delete the intermediate and saved folders?

I just want to know what my message had in it that was caught by the moderation filter so I don’t have to sorry about that again, also i’m marking this question as complete as I’ve moved onto different projects, but will definately have questions in the future.
