Saving Assets to Project

ralusek

hey i'm pretty sure this is a really basic step that i'm missing, but whenever i import assets of my own into a scene, i'll save them as a package. here is where i put my models and materials, through the content browser, and into the scene.

everything works completely fine until the next time i start UDK, and it cannot find the assets, so i look for the package etc, but it doesn't seem to recall where any of them were...or any of my materials...so i just have to place them all again.

is this normal? i assume i'm just missing a step.

i just need a way of associating these assets and their placements with the project.

any basic walk through would be much appreciated, and thank you for your time

The project in UDK is a directory. If you're saving your files outside of the directory it will not find them. So you must save your files in the content directory (where all the other assets are). You can make subfolders in this directory but don't put your files in a separate folder elsewhere.
