Anybody else having assets just disappearing from created plugins? Happened twice with crashes so I put it down to that, but it’s now happening when I close the editor despite everything being saved properly. All the .uassets are showing in file explorer but the editor just refuses to see them. Also won’t let me import them because for some reason its own file extensions aren’t compatible
This is a nuisance and it’s the way things have been since the editor was released. If you attempt to recreate these assets with the same name the editor will tell you they already exist and they will reappear . If you have these files open in the editor before closing down, next time it is restarted the editor will ask if you want to reopen them.
Or just drag and drop the files - or, in fact, folders - into the Content Manager from the Windows Explorer. Open your plugin folder in the Content Manager, open the folder in the Explorer using the "show in Explorer" context menu entry, select all and just drag and drop back into the Content Manager. This will also make things in any subfolders reappear.
I've tried all ways to drag or import my Route Definition and Timetable .uasset files back into the editor Content so they will reappear and the problem seems to be that they are supposedly an "unknown extension".
Sorry I don't understand the instructions. The .uasset files are already visible at root level in the Content folder in explorer, what do I need to do to make them reappear in the editor content viewer?
Open the same location in both the Windows Explorer and the Editor's Content Browser. Drag and Drop the files from the Explorer to the Content Browser.
Yes that’s why I was so confused about exactly what was required to make it work. I think something has changed since my last attempt.
