Import whatever I want without being forced.

Does exist an extension (maybe .binary or whatever) that allows me to import whatever I want in unreal engine? I find it ridiculous that I’ve been able to make it work with unsupported extensions, but can’t import them as RAW BYTES DATA in the engine. It forces me to have a “supported extension” …

No what engine allows you to import raw byte data and what do you keep in raw byte data format that you need to import?

Everything. A 20kb JPG becomes a 2MB texture. A compressed audio of 2mb becomes a 30MB uncompressed audio. Etc etc etc. I’m able to use external files without being forced of having tons and tons of useless occupied GBs, but I would like to have them inside the content drawer, instead of specifying absolute paths…

I still don’t see why a few gigs is nothing in the grand scheme of things most projects are like 20-30 gigs on modern hardware that’s basically nothing. The downsides are losing functionality and accessing files in a less useful way. I don’t see any upsides that would make the dev time worth it but good luck on your search maybe someone out there has what ya need
