I need to run UE4 (4.26) Editor on a linux (Debian 10) server with no display and play the default level.
I have followed this post to setup UE4 and build the project on linux.
As per this post’s suggestion, I run the following to start the project from terminal
/path/to/UE_4.26/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Editor /project/path/somename.uproject -windowed -RenderOffscreen -game
However, this doesn’t seem to play the default level. I also tried to run the following
/path/to/UE_4.26/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Editor /project/path/somename.uproject -windowed -RenderOffscreen -ExecutePythonScript="/path/to/python/script/play_level.py"
where play_level.py is
import unreal
obj = unreal.EditorLevelLibrary()
obj.editor_play_simulate()
But this doesn’t work either.
To clarify, I would like to play the level (using the play option in GUI image shown below) and not launch the game.
Thanks
