Oculus Debugger (with Unreal) setup help

Hello, does anyone know hot to get the Debugger working with unreal projects?

 

I am following this guide:

https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/tools/tools-oculus-debugger/

 

And I can't seem to figure out what they mean by UE4/Projects directory 

 

"2. Make sure your code project is located under the UE4/Projects directory. Blueprints-only projects are not supported."

 

I tried putting the project in the "user/Documents/Unreal Projects" directory and also tried adding a Projects directory to the unreal root directory.  Neither of which worked. My project does not get listed like mentioned in the guide. Did anyone manage to get it working?

Hey, I'm having the same problem right now. Did you get it working by any chance?

I got it detected by putting the project in UnrealEngine/Samples/Oculus.  Its not the best solution but at least i got it working... Good luck!

 

Thanks for your answer! I think it has to do with the UE4Games.uprojectdirs file in the engine root directory. I added the "Projects" directory there and now it works fine for me, too. Just in case at some point the debugging relies on the "UE4/Projects/<ProjectName>" directory.

YES! Thanks, that works great. 

Just to make i clear like the documentation should:

- Open the "UE4Games.uprojectdirs" in the engine root directory and add "Projects/"

- Add the "Projects" directory in the engines root directory and copy your project there

thanks for posting... this seems kind of arbitrary??.... 

 

So I need to copy the entire project to a new Engine/Projects directory?

 

(The project is in its own Perforce directory and I have many different copies of Unreal  Engine source on the machine for various purposes UE5, 4.26, 4.27, etc..... Oculus/Epic)

 

 

 

I agree with this, there has to be a better way no? So I have to create a new workspace from my source control in this engine folder.
