how to convert a launcher-based project to source-build-engine based?

Development Programming & Scripting C++

hi,all
i found an interesting thing：
the project’s vc solution is different by how it had been created.
if created from the precompiled editor within launcher, it has less project and build configurations,
but if from a source build editor, the solution contains all engine module and programs,
the later is more convenient for debugging and custom.

but now i have already made a project and developed no short, there’s many assets and code in it.
how could i make a perfect conversion of it ?

Make a backup of you project before you do anything of the following:

  1. right-click your <Game>.uproject file and select the option “Switch Unreal Engine version”
  2. in the new window that appears, select your engine built from source
  3. right-click your <Game>.uproject file again but this time select the option “Generate Visual Studio project files”
  4. Profit?
