Easy installation

`` Unreal.js is now on the Unreal Engine MarketPlace. If you have installed Unreal Engine from Epic Games Launcher, you can grab Unreal.js from the MarketPlace. ```

Build process

  • Make sure you have installed the UnrealEngine 4.13.? canonical build.
  • Create a UE4 C++ project and close the editor after the project creation is finished
  • Clone the content of Unreal.js-core into the {ProjectRoot}\Plugins\UnrealJS directory of the UE4 project directory
cd {ProjectRoot}
git clone https://github.com/ncsoft/Unreal.js-core Plugins/UnrealJS
cd Plugins/UnrealJS
  • For Windows,
    • Run install-v8-libs.bat in Git CMD
    • Or run install-v8-libs.sh in Git bash
  • For other platforms,
    • Run install-v8-libs.sh
  • Now open the C++ .uproject again in the UE editor
  • Once the UE Editor opens the project it should ask if you want to rebuild the plugin modules, click Yes to start the C++ build
  • The compilation of the Unreal.js plugin should go through and you end up with a compiled version of the plugin in the {ProjectRoot}\Plugins\UnrealJS directory
  • To verify that the C++ binaries of the plugin have been built check that the DLLs for the plugin have been created in {ProjectRoot}\Plugins\UnrealJS\Binaries\Win64
  • In the UE Editor you can check that the plugin was successfully loaded in Edit > Plugins > Project > Programming > Unreal.js - Javascript Runtime
  • You can then start using the plugin in the project or copy the built plugin folder to a different UE project (Blueprint or C++) and use it there
