How to install UE build

[trim sundial]

@worn nymph once i install visual studio it should be good no?

[worn nymph]

Assuming you installed the build tools, yes

You can check by going to "Add or remove programs" and windows and searching for it

for example

[trim sundial]

does it need to be 2022

[worn nymph]

newer is probably fine

[trim sundial]

alr

[worn nymph]

I hope 😄

[trim sundial]

it got rid of the mod request but it still give me the same error

'

[worn nymph]

Rip maybe you do need a specific toolchain version or specific Visual studio version

@near arch do you remember? I can't find docs for this

[trim sundial]

this might help also

[worn nymph]

The error comes after selecting "Yes" right?

[trim sundial]

yes

wait this is so weird

idek its okay ill ask llama about it later or something

when i try to launch the file compressed it give me a different result but leads to the same error

[worn nymph]

aight I switched to my machine where I have all this actually installed

I have 2 versions of visual studio

[trim sundial]

should i downgrade

[worn nymph]

nah just a sec

I think the important part is which cpp toolchain components you have installed

For 2019 I have these

And for 2022 I have these

I think the important ones are the MSVC stuff and the Unreal Engine installer

[trim sundial]

oh I didnt do that

[worn nymph]

The screen for that is in the "Visual Studio Installer" application

click "Modify" on your installation

[worn nymph]

Thanks for going through this. I'll update the getting started guide when I get the chance

[trim sundial]

I think im in

my pc is tanking tho

[worn nymph]

It's indexing all the assets or somethin iirc

You can see in the bottom right corner of the editor viewport window

its setting up shaders n stuff

[trim sundial]

im in

thank you

[worn nymph]

Nah, thank you. You're the first one to follow the getting-started thing

Now I know what I need to fix

the Visual Studio setup has always been a pain point

mainly because microsoft changes it every year and I was never sure how important it was to have the correct year

[trim sundial]

I followed your 2022 ss not the 2019 one

[worn nymph]

Make sure you follow that FFA tutorial I linked, too

It tells you about proper folder structure to work with the SDK/mod bundler thing nihi made

[trim sundial]

I will

is there going to be a way to put this map on a server or only single player

[worn nymph]

Yeah, I'll help you get it in to the mod manager. From there the server and anybody who wants to join will have to enable it

but then its just like any other map

[trim sundial]

Yo so I tried to import my map i build in UE and it didnt work which is fine but none of the assets or materials are rendering in the TBL build even the normal ones

All invisible or have black and grey checker patterns

[worn nymph]

🤔 I don't think I ever did anything special to make textures work

You downloaded the sdk from that link I gave you for the getting started tutorial right?

[trim sundial]

busy the next few ddays ill come back to this next week prolly

[trim sundial]

Sorry I'm back to working on the map. Basically the problem I ran into is there is no materials/assets. They all are blank or have this grey checkerboard pattern on it. Only thing I can thing of is maybe some asset textures didn't get unzipped but I'm unsure.

@worn nymph

The build itself is working i just dont have any assets to use to make a map

[worn nymph]

Where did you download the sdk from?
