Missing Game Package in Visual Studio when using "Generate Visual Studio project files"

When I use “Generate Visual Studio project files” it doesn’t generate the game package. (The folder entitled “game” with the project named package in it).

I can’t find the log for the “Generate Visual Studio project files” execution to be able to isolate why this may be the case. it just fails silently. The intermediate folder doesn’t contain the project file.

Where’s the log file? How do I find the output?

Jeremy,

Generate Visual Studio project files will only work on games that already have C++ source files.
If you originally created a BP only project, the easiest way to convert it is:

  1. Open the editor.
  2. File > New C++ Class…
  3. Select any parent class, and go through the prompts.

The biggest usage of the Generate Visual Studio utility is really when either the project gets corrupted, refreshing the project if source is added outside usual means (e.g. when creating plugin source), or for distributing the project (so you don’t also have to distribute VS project files which could increase overall size).

Thanks,
Jon N.

Actually, we had a source folder. The solution in the end, was that the corresponding .cs files weren’t checked in.
