Package Size Limitation

[YTng_wolfdale]

Is it Okay to have a Package in UDK larger than 150mb? (I give a exact number because I read or listen somewhere on forum or documentation videos that you need to limit your package size to 150mb)

My package now is already 200mb I am afraid that it will corrupt or something will happen bad.

Packages can be theoretically any size, although I believe there is a practical limit of around 2-3GB on the PC when things start going wrong. It is however usuallym adviseable to keep them around 100MB.

After passing 300 MB the editor will start throwing warnings that you need to split it. I'd recommend that you divide your assets to a number of packages instead of all in one. If this package is actually a level, then you need to use sub-levels instead of the persistant level only.

Hello,
I'll try to keep them at <=200mb. Is it really compulsory that my package will be inside the folder of UDKGame->Content->Mypackage.
Last question, under packages tab there is three folders Engine,UDKGame and NewPackages how will I also create a folder there on that tab? Because navigating under UDKGame->Content->Mypackage. Drives me nut.

Second and last question really is the same question.

You packages just need to be in the Content folder, you can make any folder with any name under there, but you need to add it to your .inis.
The content browser browses through the engine/content and UDKgame/Content folders.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with creating a shortcut where you need it

I think what your asking is if you can create a new folder withing windows explorer, in which case the answer is yes. When you save a new package it will ask you where you want to save it. You can type whatever package name and create new folders within the save dialogue.

You'll get used to handling packages, they can seem a bit a about t sometimes.
