For background, I’m trying to reduce packaged project size. I have reduced it by quite a bit already, but want to fine-tune control by excluding files only used in testing. To do this I have gone into Project Settings > Packaging and turned off “Cook everything in the project content directory”
In the packaged build, some of the AI and other stuff is broken. I figured that’s because there is something I forgot to include in the package. As a test, I added the entire Content Folder to “Additional Asset Directories to Cook”
To me, I would think that should make the project work, but it doesn’t. I then sifted through our ProjectName > Saved > Cooked folder to see what all did and didn’t get packaged.
The only difference I saw between a build with “Cook everything in the project content directory” turned on and one that has it disabled was a few of the plugins were missing from the build without Cook Everything turned on.
How would I go about forcing the package to include the missing plugins in the build?
TLDR: If the “Cook everything” packaging setting is turned off the packaged build doesn’t contain all required plugins. How can I tell package to include missing plugins?
