Hey folks!
I seem to have hit a problem in Unreal and Perforce that I want to better understand.
After a milestone, I wanted to reorganize our Content folder to keep things tidy and easy to navigate. Everyone else on my team was taking a break from doing anything in the project for a day, so I took it upon myself to do this.
Here was my process:
- In P4V, I checked out the entire Content folder
- Moved some assets/folders within Unreal Editor
- Fixed redirects on the previous location and the new location
- Repeated 2 + 3 until I'd reorganized everything to my satisfaction
- In P4V, I then reverted all unchanged files and committed all the remaining files.
The result was that everything was nice and clean on my machine. However, when a coworker pulled the change, it seemed some things didn't move, or were left behind, or were having compile errors on their end. Very different than what I had locally!
I don't know if this is an issue with Perforce or if this is Unreal being very rigid/fussy about assets being moved! I'm kinda new to Unreal, so want to better understand what happened here.
Did I do anything improper in my process?
