How do I do search in this folders? Its too mixed + html files dont open properly.
How can I download the website that shows documentation and I can search?
You can try to create a docset from the offline documentation in your engine path, then you can conveniently search for what you want using Dash(Mac) or Zeal(Windows).
- The method for creating the docset can be referenced at: GitHub - melMass/docset-unreal-engine: Python Module to Generate a Dash Compatible Docset from Unreal Engine Documentation
- Offline documentation file path:
YourEngineRoot/Engine/Documentation/Builds/
I checked also, it’s not there. The Online version they have upgraded to is inefficient. You would need to know precisely what you are looking for and where it is located.
Imagine a Library, and in the library each book has its own room, and down the hallway is a room for each chapter, and in each chapter are all the concepts, and when you finally go in a conceptual room down its individual hallway, you find one word and its definition. Then you must go back to the beginning and search through the hallways again. Its potential the developers of the new documentation site have never seen a library. like how all AAA games now have a yellow/orange-brown haze, the emulation of pollution, because big cities have never seen the natural sky. even Minecraft updated and adopted yellow haze skies.
I would like a manual please @UnrealEngine @EpicGames
Seems there is currently no way at all other than online docs for 5.6? not accessible in private github repo either (guess i need to download ALL of it to maybe hopefully be able to generate the tgz files from other sources inside the project?).
Im an Unreal noob and having to use slow online search on my spotty connection is terrible. Its crazy they make it impossible to have offline docs on purpose. I get the online always updated thing but just let me download the docs in the state of relese for 5.6 like any other normal software! they could even put it in BIG LETTERS on the cover page that its outdated. This is one of the biggest blockers for me to learn Unreal.
Does anyone have any un official solution? i will probably end up scraping the online docs with custom script even thought they seem to try to prevent it.
