UDK Project Folder Structure

Steen

I'm trying to figure out how to manage content in UDK, but I'm not finding a clear explanation of where I should be saving my files, or how my content is separated from the content that's included with UDK. I've been trying to work from my own folder outside of what's created with the UDK install, but I get external package errors. Does my project have to be in the UDK folder that's on my hard drive root? This feels like a very noob question.

Yes your packages have to be in the same folder as the rest of UDK. UDK doesn't look outside this folder. However you can make sub-folders which have your content in them to separate them out from existing content. How you choose to do this is up to you.

Got it. Seems weird to put that on the root of my drive, but if that's what it takes. Thanks for the reply.

The only folder that you have to care is the "maps" folder. It's only in this folder that the engine will look for loading a map, for packages the "content" folder is the minimum.
