Project System
UnrealScript Project
UnrealScript projects can be created and added to any Visual Studio solution. UnrealScript Projects can be configured in two primary modes: Licensee Project or General/Mod Project. As far as available features are concerned, these are almost identical. The two project modes were separated to address the different directory structures and build system requirements of licensees and modders.
UnrealScript Licensee Project
A complete overview of the UnrealScript Licensee Project system is available separately. This is a short list of features licensees can expect:
- Targets the specific needs of UnrealEngine 3 licensees
- Offers major advantages over including script files in native (C++) projects:
- Easier to configure script debugging and build configurations
- Tight integration of the UnrealScript compiler with the Visual Studio build system, including proper build error reporting
- Faster solution opening/closing
- Automatically stays up-to-date with the set of script files on disk, which is important since the UnrealScript compiler reads every script file instead of just the ones you included in a native project
General/Mod Project
- Supports Reference Scripts for browsing and IntelliSense purposes
- Easier than manipulating the game's directory structure and build system by hand
UnrealScript Project Templates
- Quickly setup a new mod
- Localization support
- Config file support
