In the Unreal Development Kit - An Introduction and Application DVD on Chapter 7 there is a folder in the content browser called "Eat3DIntroToUDK_Content". To get this folder you follow the read me file in the "part 1/content/project_files". It tells you copy Eat3DIntroToUDK_Content.upk to  "\UTGame\Content\Environments" and then copy DM-Eat3dLevel.udk to  "\UTGame\Content\Maps".

 

I have done this but no folder called "Eat3DIntroToUDK_Content" showed up. Only after I created a folder called Eat3DIntroToUDK_Content in the "\UTGame\Content\Environments" location and then put the  "Eat3DIntroToUDK_Content" in the folder did it show up, but with no meshed or materials.

I am stuck for now and can't go any further Sad

 

I have to say these DVD's are what I been looking for. Step by Step from scratch to finished product. You guys made the best learning tutorial ever! Now I just have to buy more! Smiling

 

Thanks for the help on this.

You can really just put both files into \UTGame\Content and try opening the package first from the generic browser, then open the map second. See if that works.

Ok when I do that and select the files Eat3DIntroToUDK_Content the right hand side doesn't show anything it says "Nothing To Show; check your filter". I have All types selected at the top.

 

I am using the UDK kit and not the Unread Game Engine, will that be a difference?

The video was made with UDK so it should be fine. What version of UDK are you using? You may need to use a newer version.

You have to fully load the package by right clicking Eat3DIntroToUDK_Content > Fully Load

Also its looks like the file path is incorrect as there is no UTGame folder by default. (this might have been changed in recent builds...im not sure)

The correct File Paths should be 

 

Eat3DIntroToUDK_Content.upk:  \UDKGame\Content\Environments

DM-Eat3dLevel.udk:  \UDKGame\Content\Maps
 
 
Though in reality this shouldn't make that much difference as you can manually load (and then Fully load) packages from any directory and it would still work fine but it wouldnt show automatically in the browser.
 
Hope that helps!

Yeah, this helped my problem too.  I also noticed that some of the models in the tutorials aren't in the library.  I just replaced them with my own stuff and ended up with a different looking map at the end...well, as of now anyway.

Just noticed that I'm two years too late to the party lol

Were you able to add all the stuff to the current updated udk? I'm having problems with trying to add a static mesh but it's shadowed out. It won't allow me and I want to follow this tutorial to the exact specifications.

@TakingDownJersey,

Did you fully load the packages?
