-How to install Unreal Engine 4. 27. 2, this is your homework, i'll provide links but there are many tutorials on this already

This resource is for references only we dont follow it on this guide.

After installing UE4. 27. 2, and extracting the Developer's kit into the Unreal Projects folder, your UE should look like in the screenshot.

The name of the folder doesn't really matter,

(Ignore the 5. 5. 4 instalation)

The Unreal project folder and Epic games launcher should look like this:

Now, we'll open the project "The Killing Antidote" by double clicking on it.

The Killing Antidote devkit overview

Under mod, you'll see many folders, the one we care about is "TKA_Workshop_Tomb", this is the DEV's example map, the other folders are clothing/animation/makeup/etc mods, we dont need those in this case, so i'll delete all folders except the tomb one.

This is what my MOD folder looks like now:

You dont need to delete those, but it will make compile times a bit quickier and keep the project a bit more clean as there is less stuff

Next section we'll check the DEV example map and do some dissection.

So lets open the TKA_Workshop_Tomb folder and look at its content:

The folders Actor Mesh and Picture are just Folders that contain other assets for organization purposes

Mesh contains the level assets, textures, materials, static meshes etc.

Actor contains custom actors l
