Hi,
I am new at this engine.I want to change source code editor.Can i use notepad++?.
I can’t change visual studio.There isn’t option in preferences.Are there any ways for this?
notepad++ doesn’t have a compiler for c++, and visual studio has way better auto complete features. what features from notepad++ did you want?
Thank you for answer,
my computer’s features aren’t high level(ram,grapihc card etc.).So, i want to work faster editor.I was using unity3d with monodevelop but it was very slow.Because of this,İ asked. My English not very well, i hope that i can explain :))
You need Visual Studio installed for compiler but you dont need to use it for code editing. UE4 got its own build system independednt from VS, and you can call commends to make it build code from anywhere. Go to VS project propecies and in NMake section you will have commeds you can use.
what’s about linux users?
The same, all platfroms that supports editor has UnrealBuildTool, you just need to find it, options should be the same
I would be more worried about your specs not because of your IDE but if you are able to run the editor itself.
