Ok I’m piecing this together slowly (will update as I confirm stuff)
- You edit files directly in the vanilla file structure
- You cook as a total conversion… and it will compare modded files to original ones and cook only them
The way to restore modded files back to original is:
- Run Epic Launcher, choose Launch dropdown and pick Verify
- It will copy your modded files to /Epic Games/Launcer/Backup/ArkDevkit[DateTime stamp] (hereafter known as “The Backup Folder”)
The way to continuing editing your mod is:
- Copy your good modded files from The Backup Folder… to \Epic Games\ARKDevKit\Projects\ShooterGame\Content (hereafter known as “The Original Folders”) using Windows Explorer
- Restart DevKit
