How To Package Extra NonUASSET Files With Your Game

From Epic Wiki

Overview

Author: ( )

In this wiki I give you a pictorial guide of how to add extra files to your packaged game that are not .uassets.

Please note there are two types, and the tooltips explain them thoroughly :)

UFS Files (.pak)

There are files which you expect UE4 to load via the Unreal File System, which will be put in the .pak file.

Custom IO system files

And there are also files which you plan to load via your own methods in packaged game, which will be included but not added to the .pak file so your own IO system can still find them and load them.
