Script for convert network function to 4.7-4.8

Development Programming & Scripting C++
1

Well as I have complained, like a lot, the new unreal version 4.7-4.8 will force you to split all your networking codes into three separate functions. And if you have worked on Unreal for more than a year like me, you’ll have a crazy task of converting over 1000+ lines of codes.

So below is my little snippet that have made my life a lot easier. It’s a javascript that will do all the above tricks for you, both header and cpp file. (Just save it as .html and open with any browser.) Currently I have it print out the result where you can copy and paste one by one file to avoid any serious undo-able damage. It’s also customly built only to fix my codes, so heck, feel free to use it as a template to your own needs.

I hope by sharing this, it will help ease the pain for some of you. :smiley:
