I compiled my project with the project launcher. It works well.
My problem is that I wanted to try to create a small demo with just 3 maps. So I created a “New profile” in the Project Launcher by choosing the maps I needed and changing the “Default Map” in “Project Map & Modes” but it still compiles the entire project for me.
So I tried to make a copy of the project which I renamed to DEMO. In “packaging”, I deleted all the maps and I added only the 3 maps in “List of maps to include” that I wanted to package but it still compiles the whole thing for me even though it shouldn’t be more than 100 MB. However, the “Cook only map” box is checked.
I don’t understand. How can I create my demo with my 3 maps so that it compiles everything else ?
Make an empty new project of the same type as yours. Migrate only the things you want from your main project to the new project. Check it works, then package the new project
Yes, but he wants to export almost the entire project to me with all the cards. However, I designed the 3 maps of the demo linked just between them and the widgets. There, almost everything is taken from me, even videos.
Take a look at the reference viewer, it will tell you where the link is…
For instance, your character / player?
If the system says there is a link, there defintely is. Ignoring it will break the small project.
Another great way of becoming aware of it, is to right click on the map in the browser, and click ‘size map’. You can see all the stuff it needs to exist. I’m guessing, most of your project.
I understand better now why he includes everything with it. As I use the same Stack container to use the UICommon in the widgets or the loader or the HUDs, it takes everything from me. I don’t really know how I can do it then. Because even a background image that I use in other widgets is used in others.
You know when people are always rabbiting on about ‘de coupling’ on these forums? That’s why.
If you had no dependecies ( or much less ), you would be able to separate everything.
You’ll probably find there’s only one or two really crucial areas. And you can de-couple things using the usual methods. Blueprint interface for example.
Or, maybe even easier. Instead of having variables of your object type, you can have variables of a more generic type, parent type. ( I’m talking about the variables that are causing the tight relationship, I don’t really know your setup ).
Yes but I thought that using the same things without recreating them made it possible to optimize the whole thing rather than having useless clones like in other programming software.
Just try breaking one dependency first. Like I say, it could be as easy as using a more generic variable type. Or it might involve interfaces, for example.
I remove all unnecessary dependencies and created other parent classes. On the other hand, I find it surprising that a simple mesh that I copied on a map references all the others.
The project launcher adds wrong information for the application shortcut icon. However, in the directory that he also created in Binaries\Win64 it contains the correct information.
