Hey, dixonian. I’m not sure if is the right or best way to go about it, but it works.
Someone here explains a simple way to do it.
(Basically, just edit the bitbucket-url with the commit tag/id to bring up the download for the repo at the time of the commit.)
In short, you can use link to get a zip of a template that’ll work with UE4 4.15.1.
(I’m not sure if it’s the latest one right before the 4.16 implementation, but I think it’s pretty close.)
I’ll assume you’re running Windows:
①Download that zip above and extract it wherever you want.
② [Optional] Once extracted, rename the “-vrexppluginexample-cbaf5b16589d/-vrexppluginexample-cbaf5b16589d” folder to something shorter, like “VRExample” or whatever.
③ Cut or copy the folder (shown in red in step ② / i.e., “VRExample”) containing 4 folders and 3 files (“VRExample” folder in step) and paste it **in **your “Unreal Projects” folder; usually <Myusername>/documents/Unreal Projects/
④ Follow the stepson 's bitbucket page (namely, install Visual Studio, generate the sln, build the sln).
Having done that you will be able to launch the template project. Note that the project name will be VRExpPluginExample.
