+ | |||
+ | This is one of the most important bits that a lot of people get wrong. The game looks for UAsset files in specific folders, if it can't find your modded file in that location, it can't load it and instead runs the default. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can find the Folder-structure several ways, from unpacking the pakchunk and just looking at the folders you have to navigate to find the DataTables, or use either FModel or UAssetGUI to find where they are located. | ||

+ | This is the folder where the majority of DataTable files are located. Some will be in sub-folders, | ||
+ | |||
+ | When making a mod and then packing it with UnrealPak, you should place this inside a folder with the name of your mod, and then drag that entire folder onto UnrealPak' | ||
