Build Enlighten UE4
To build the Enlighten UE4 editor:
- Install an unmodified copy of a supported version of UE4. This must be the major release, not a hotfix.
- Download the Enlighten packages compatible with your UE4 version.
- Extract the Enlighten packages on top of your unmodified copy of UE4, overwriting files where necessary.
- Delete the Engine/Intermediate folder, if it exists.
- Run GenerateProjectFiles.bat.
- Rebuild at least the following projects:
- UnrealFrontend Development Win64
- UnrealLightmass Development Win64
- ShaderCompileWorker Development Win64
UE4 Development Editor Win64
To evaluate Enlighten with a hotfix release of UE4 you can perform a three way merge between:
- Left: your UE4 source tree with the hotfix
