Cleanup Materials and Packages
Here is one reason, why I like UDK not as much as Unity: packages!
So, my problem is, I might have added some meshes to a package that were already in there. But they are from another version with different materials, so UDK doesn't overwrite the originals. Since there are quite a lot of single meshes, I don't want to select everything in the package separately and check it.
Is there a way in UDK to:
- check for double meshes and materials
- delete all materials from a package that have no material assigned to them
- delete the "history" of referenced objects, so I can delete older materials
(I know there is a console command, but it slipped my mind; I'd like to know if there is any way in UDK to can check referenced objects?)
- generally - what is the best way to keep a package clean, tight and up to date?
And another problem from my ArchViz thread - is it possible to make a Kismet Door Opening Sequence with Keyframe Animation in Matinee, while using a prefab? I tried animating the prefab, I tried turing it into a mover and an interpolate actor, but none of it worked. I could open the doors as movers, but the glas would stay behind when the door closes again. (it works on the way, but stays behind) Kinda gave up on trying to move the prefab with Matinee.
I lied, I love UDK, but in moments when nothing works, there is always a better engine ^^

You will need to include your matinee in the prefab. Select all your kismet nodes, then right click (in kismet) --> "make new sequence". select all geometry and nodes (in editor), then the sequence in kismet. right click (in editor) and select make new prefab. you should get a window asking if you want to make the sequence part of the prefab. select yes. save you package up and it should work
