Static meshes

[GcSkaarj]

Im using the Meshmaker tool for creating models for my maps, but every model created, make a new folder and a new .u file, so, the question is:
It is possible to avoid the massive amount of folders and files, whe creating meshes with this tool?, in other words, to move all the folders in a "static meshes" folder and not in the Unreal directory, and fusion all the .u files in one .u file?

Because if it not possible, i will not create some models, for mantain some "order" (its not cool to have 20something new folders in the Unreal folder)

I've never used meshmaker before, so I would not know about mergine .u files using that, but you can create a new package and use the line:

Code: Select all

Class MeshImports expands Actor
         abstract;

#EXEC OBJ LOAD FILE=*Your mesh file.u* PACKAGE=*Your mesh package*

Add more lines for each .u mesh file you have and use UCC to comple. UCC should spit out a .u files with all your meshes in.

Instead to export the prefab/mesh to a ready u-file you should maybe consider to choose "Export the prefab to a model"

and btw dude.. class is the classname of the decomesh, package is the name of the package where it should be. What about if you JUST select everytime the same package name?!

All the imports are done in this class (That's why it is abstract)
After all the .u files are combined as one, the user can then subclass decoration for each model they wish to put in the map.

AFAIK abstract means only that this actor is not placable (not supposed by the author to be placed)

Correct. I use it for parent classes where important variables are declared.

Abstract just means it cannot be initialized and is meant to be subclassed by non-abstract classes (sometimes through more abstract classes), so it's either used as a parent class with declared variables and functions (which are then later implemented in subclasses), a dummy class (like for exporting/importing stuff) or in rarer cases, something else.

I solve the problem, but by another way.. thanks anyway.

Please when you solve a problem post how did you solve it, it may help someone else in future.
