I’ve*1 managed to do this on a cpp project by:

  • renaming the uproject
  • adding a new module with the new name inside the uproject under the modules section
  • add the new module to the modules names on the target.cs
  • rename project.target.cs and projecteditor.target.cs
  • add a folder with a .build.cs for the new module.
  • it’s critical that both the old and new .build.cs have the same dependencies otherwise it will fail weirdly.
  • add a cpp stub module for the new module
  • make the new module export a game module using IMPLEMENT_PRIMARY_GAME_MODULE and made the old module just implement it with IMPLEMENT_MODULE

maybe it was too much (i wonder if creating a new module was necessary or not) but it worked.

*1 with the help of Daekesh on discord. thanks :slight_smile:
