Project Setup

If you want to take a look inside a project, there are currently three important repositories:

VIRTUOS_Playground: The repository contains the Unreal Engine Project
VIRTUOS_Assets: Contains all Project related assets like 3D-Models, Graphics etc.
VIRTUOS_Documents: Contains all written Documents
VIRTUOS_Docs: The Documentation in QUarto (which you’re reading right now)

Setting up the project with UE5

If you’re familiar with Git, you’ll likely already know how to get the files.

git pull https://code.virtuos.world/VIRTUOS_WORLD/VIRTUOS_Docs.git

If you’re not comforatable with the command line, you can install a Git GUI like Github Desktop:

Hit File -> Clone repository

Enter the repository from code.virtuos.world you want to clone, e.g. https://code.virtuos.world/VIRTUOS_WORLD/VIRTUOS_Playground.git

The project uses the following external Plugins:

VR Expansion Plugin, see https://github.com/mordentral/VRExpansionPlugin
SPUD: Steve’s Persistent Unreal Data library, see https://github.com/sinbad/SPUD

The Plugins are already in the /Plugins folder

Note: To build the project, you’ll need Visual Studio installed on your system.

Right click the .uproject file and hit Generate Visual Studio project files.
Open the newly generated .sln file in Visual Studio. From there, hit Build -> Build solution.
