  • BuiltData files are storing:
    • lightmap textures (created by Build Lighting only)
    • volumetric light probes / samples (created by Build Lighting only)
  • umap files are storing:
    • navigation paths (created by Build Paths)

If you want to test locally the full game including NPC movement then you need to:
