Tired with deleting folders and generating a .sln file afterward. I googled some solutions, but didn't find any ready-made ones, so I made my own at short notice. From this you need to make a .bat file in the root folder of the project, and and set an environment variable called UE_BUILD_TOOL_PATH that leads to UnrealBuildTool.exe, mine was C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.4\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\UnrealBuildTool. !!! Don't forget to change the file and projectFile fields !!!

@echo off

:: Check if the UE_BUILD_TOOL_PATH environment variable is set
if not defined UE_BUILD_TOOL_PATH (
echo Environment variable UE_BUILD_TOOL_PATH is not set. Exiting script.
pause
exit /b
)

:: List of folders to delete
set folders=Binaries DerivedDataCache Intermediate Saved

:: Name of the file to delete (CHANGE HERE)
set file=<your_game_name>.sln

:: Path to your .uproject file (CHANGE HERE)
set projectFile=<your_game_name>.uproject

:: Deleting folders
for %%F in (%folders%) do (
if exist "%%F" (
rmdir /s /q "%%F"
echo Folder "%%F" successfully deleted.
) else (
echo Folder "%%F" not found.
)
)

:: Deleting the file
if exist "%file%" (
del /f /q "%file%"
echo File "%file%" successfully deleted.
) else (
echo File "%file%" not found.
)

:: Check if UnrealBuildTool.exe exists in the provided path
if exist "%UE_BUILD_TOOL_PATH%\UnrealBuildTool.exe" (
echo Generating new .sln file from "%projectFile%"...
"%UE_BUILD_TOOL_PATH%\UnrealBuildTool.exe" -projectfiles -project="%cd%\%projectFile%" -game -engine
echo .sln file generated successfully.
) else (
echo UnrealBuildTool.exe not found in the specified path: "%UE_BUILD_TOOL_PATH%\UnrealBuildTool.exe"
)

Oh boy, migrating a project from UE 5.1 to UE 5.4 is really hard. When porting code, it's natural to want to rewrite the whole damn thing. And you realize in your heart that porting everything is a good time to look at everything again and fix things you don't like. But damn, refactoring a year of work is not an easy task....

To be honest I also don't see any ads related to deadlock, however I have all my friends playing it and I myself recently started. And the game is a bit raw, but with a lot of potential, it's fun to play. It was the same with helldivers 2, it just popped up and that's it. I think it's not just their advertising campaign after all.

Hey Gamer,

We are still looking for 7 more Tester for our PC indie game!

Interested? Hit us up in the comments!

@SeriousPointLTD Hi mates!

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@BecomingCaptain Hello sir! I'm at your service

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@Maluska19 I really like the effect where the game seems unclear, but the quality is still there

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@lazesummerstone I really like the sliding effect

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@Zoroarts I think it’s very clichéd and the first thing that comes to mind. It would be cool to use both hands for tasks usually done with one or to have different actions to speed up the mechanics 🥹

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@SteveWestenra Congratulations! This is really cool

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@NIGHT_DIAL What if Halloween comes to your house?😅

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@TheJustinSix Detailed form. We’re also working on a horror game. Come check it out!

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@LorenLemcke Oh, it’s quite pixelated. Do you have any tips for getting used to games like this?

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@ACS_Games The detail work and hero’s story are very high quality. Well done! We’re also handling the modeling ourselves

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@JJWong34755181 It's great that you’re collecting feedback. It’s really appreciated. We’re also working on a demo

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@DetFantasia Thanks for the explanation. Check out what game we have.

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@blackhawkadvent You guys are marketing geniuses, I see. Awesome!

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@quoindy Refreshed and kept going. Brilliant!

[DarkForestTheoryStudio @DFT_StudioX]

@rotub @DoggyDontCare The birds were totally freaked out 😅
