All the World Builder content used in the packaged client/server must be available in the editor, as the editor cannot download uploaded World Builder content.
Start the editor in the level you want to play in. We donโt currently have ways of checking youโre in the correct level.
Youโll need to know where your editor executable is located. This can sometimes be difficult, but the simplest way is to
Launch the desired editor via M2Launcher.
Navigate to %localappdata%/M2Launcher/Logs
and open the most recent log file.
At the end of the file it will display the executable path.
Youโll need the deployment name to hand, which can be found in the โOutput Logโ after creating an experience using the UI:
Navigate to โEditor Preferencesโ and search for โEditor Connection Strategyโ, then change to โCloudโ.
in โEditor Preferencesโ search for โSign Inโ, click the + next to Per Client Sign in Settings and in the newly added array element below set the Type to โSingle Sign Onโ\
Also in โEditor Preferencesโ, search for โStandalone Gameโ and add -DeploymentName <DeploymentName>
to the โAdditional Launch Parametersโ text box.
You can then launch using โStandalone Gameโ.
The first time you do this, you may be prompted with a Single Sign On dialog in another window. If the client pauses at the sign on phase, look for that window elsewhere.
Start the editor via command line with the deployment name specified:
You can then play in any form of PIE on the cloud server.
Itโs also possible to connect to a cloud world directly from the command line.
First, make sure the project settings are configured to open your intended map on launch.
Youโll also need to know where the .uproject
for your project you created is located.
Below is an example command line that will connect to the cloud as editor, without opening any UI in the process:
