I tried being in different folders when using UnrealPak.exe but it didn’t have any effect on the pakfile contents and their paths 
Do you remember how you would make pakfiles when you had this working?
I reckon it will be because its in “/Game/PakSource/Content/” - it should be in “/Game/Content/” but I’m not sure on how to tell UnrealPak to go one level up - perhaps by being in that folder when packing?
Yeah I had some similar thoughts when working on these routines - I reckon that it will work really well! Happy to hear you’re working on it! 
haha my memory is pretty bad sorry, fortunately I’d made a batch file which contains:
unrealpak d:\Footprints.pak d:\Footprints.umap d:\Engage*.* d:\FootprintMeshes*.*
If that’s any help… It looks like I put everything in the root of D: to solve it…
looks like the paste lost some of the formatting:
unrealpak d:\Footprints.pak d:\Footprints.umap d:\Engage*.* d:\FootprintMeshes*.*
The only clue I’ve found so far is that I’ve named some archives of the dynamic maps as “-WindowsNoEditor” which makes me think I’m using cooked assets built for shipping - I’ve got some vague recollection that shipping is important…
I tried building my pak using the same method and its giving me this:
LogTemp: Warning: D:\PAKS\test3.pak loaded and mounted, listing...
LogTemp: Warning: File: /Game/maptest.umap
LogTemp: Warning: File: /Game/test.uasset
LogPackageName: SearchForPackageOnDisk took 0.167s, but failed to resolve maptest.umap.
LogPackageName: SearchForPackageOnDisk took 0.166s, but failed to resolve maptest.umap.
Do you know if those are cooked assets or just raw from the content folder of the project?
Yeah I tried with cooked and uncooked assets and got the same thing. gahhhhhhhh this is killing me lol
Did you ever get it to a spot where you could load the map but not the other assets? I have some old code I tried which can load the map but that’s the only thing that loads, any materials or custom meshes don’t get loaded.
Yeah, they are both in D:\UE4\4.17\PakSource\Content
In order to get the map to load, I have to mount the pakfile to FPaths::EngineContentDir() instead of to Game. At which point I get this error after the map loads: LoadErrors: Error: /Engine/maptest : Can't find file for asset. /Game/test. test is the name of my material i applied to some blocks
Yeah I think I did have that problem at one point too. When you created the map and asset did you put both in the root of /Game/? Any assets referenced by the map still need to follow their relative path…
I think I played with the engine content folder for a while but had success using the game folder - it’s possible that the /Game/ folder is not being included in a search order - you may need to add it somewhere, but I’m afraid I can’t remember where…
The AssetRegistry is Editor only so I wouldn’t think so. What does the “Pack List” look like now when it logs the contents of the pack?
When I list one of my pak files I get a somewhat more “packaged” set of files - are you sure that you’ve Packaged the files for WindowsNoEditor? Here’s a subset of my list:
LogPaths: Warning: No paths for game localization data were specifed in the game configuration.

■■■■, I have no idea where to do that either…
IT could have something to do with the AssetRegistry file?
Which pack list do you mean? In the game when I log it using PakPlatform->IterateDirectoryRecursively() it prints this:
LogTemp: Warning: File: /Game/maptest.umap
LogTemp: Warning: File: /Game/test.uasset
And when I list out the pakfile in the command line using UnrealPak.exe D:\PAKS\test.pak -List it prints this:
LogPakFile: Display: Mount point D:/UE4/4.17/PakSource/Content/
LogPakFile: Display: "maptest.umap" offset: 0, size: 749458 bytes, sha1: 2F0B6BDD8AFCBFD10B3BEA083D5058B1718229E9.
