Checking default map
In your project directory there is a DefaultEngine.ini which tells the client and server which map to load as default in particular:
GameDefaultMap=/Game/ThirdPerson/Maps/MainMenu ServerDefaultMap=/Game/ThirdPerson/Maps/MainMenu
Launching the client
All non-editor builds require cooked content, however, you can run an editor build with the "-game" command line flag to run the game directly using the editor data; please note however that this will be slower than a cooked build as the editor is essentially processing assets on the fly.
There are different ways to launch the client in debug mode:
1)
- Select the DebugGameEditor configuration
- From VS properties on MyProject2 add command line -debug -game
- It will launch directly without going through the editor
2)
- Select the DebugGameEditor configuration
- From VS properties on MyProject2 remove -game from command line
- It will launch the Editor, then you press "Play" in the editor. The breakpoints placed in VS are working as expected.
Launching the server
- Select the DebugGameEditor configuration
- From VS properties on MyProject2 add this in the command line: -server -log
- It will launch directly without going through the editor
