The following information is for Development Builds and Shipping Builds!
Since we make use of the UE4 Asset Registry, the data assets (our so called “Customization Data Assets” or “CDA”) which come with our product and you might create during development will not always be referenced by another asset when packaging your game, depending on its usage. To cook them properly and be able to use them in-game after building and packaging follow these three simple steps:
- Go to Project Settings > Packaging.
- Search for “List of maps to include in a packaged build”.
- Add “/Game/CharacterEditor/Base/Maps/CharacterEditor_Showcase” to the list
- Search for “Additional Asset Directories to Cook”.
- Add “/Game/CharacterEditor/DataAssets” or any of your custom directories to the array.
