So there is hope on the horizon and an important lessen as well. Bottom line is, when working with UE4 never rename files. And if you move a file make absolutely sure to fix redirects before that new file is given dependencies.

So what I did wrong with this project is I renamed structs. Yep that’s it! I renamed a struct or two or three! Or four…

So with that said I am going to begin reworking the entire project to use data tables and I will be making **** sure I pay attention to when I rename a file in this engine. Its still likely that even after I do all of this the project will still be broken.

If that is the case then I am going to start over and make the entire project even better than before. Data tables from the start, no file renaming and fixing redirects the moment they pop up.

I think a possible solution to your issue is adding entries to ActiveStructRedirects or ActiveClassRedirects in DefaultEngine.ini.

You’ll need to know both the old and new names for each class and struct. I don’t know the old names so I couldn’t test it.

You can look at Intermediate/Config/CoalescedSourceConfigs/Engine.ini to see what the format of the entry should be like.

It’s not that you should never rename files in UE4, it’s that you need to do so carefully and make sure the engine knows where to find the new resource.
