Engine Compiler problem...

[sneppy]

My compiler simply does not compile the 'UDKBase' package, so I can't extend from any of the udk classes like UDKPawn...

UDKBase package should normally be compiled before your custom packages, but for some reasons that I can't understand it simply isn't compiled!!

[tegleg]

its a mistake in the latest build, hopefully they will fix it next time
for now, open DefaultEngine.ini and swap round the order in this bit

[UnrealEd.EditorEngine]
+EditPackages=YourGame
+EditPackages=UDKBase

change to

[UnrealEd.EditorEngine]
+EditPackages=UDKBase
+EditPackages=YourGame

[sneppy]

already tried, not working for me... UDKBase still isn't compiled... I don't understand why, it should work this way...

[tegleg]

just looked at mine

in DefaultEngine.ini
i also have

[Engine.ScriptPackages]
+EditPackages=UDKBase
+NonNativePackages=YourGame

in DefaultEngineUDK.ini

[Engine.ScriptPackages]
+NativePackages=UDKBase
+NonNativePackages=YourGame

I hate to sound obvious, but did you check to make sure you have an actual UDKPawn.uc file? And just a reminder you will get build errors 99% of the time if the UDK editor is running at compile time.

sneppy has you installed the udk using the option "empty game"? if you did that, i think you can only extend from GameInfo base classes

[ambershee]

^ That. If you installed an empty project (it looks like you have), then UDKGame is not installed with it.

[tegleg]

UDKGame is installed with the blank install, you just need to sort out the ini's
im using that version myself right now

[Resiak0100]

Move your project below UDKBase in the [Engine.ScriptPackages] section of DefaultEngineUDK.ini

[Froyok]

Move your project below UDKBase in the [Engine.ScriptPackages] section of DefaultEngineUDK.ini

^ Yeah this, I don't know why the installer put our custom project in first.

I looked into this with a fresh install of Empty Feb-2013. With only changing the MyPawn to Extend from Simple pawn I did recieve the compile error. The only change that was required for me was to make the above mentioned change however in the DefaultEngineUDK.ini and not in the DefaultEngine.ini

Was

[UnrealEd.EditorEngine]
+EditPackages=Custom2Game
EditPackagesOutPath=..\..\UDKGame\Script
FRScriptOutputPath=..\..\UDKGame\ScriptFinalRelease
+EditPackages=UDKBase
;ModEditPackages=MyMod
AutoSaveDir=..\..\UDKGame\Autosaves

Changed to
