The Open Tournament project is built using Unreal Engine 4.25. Please ensure that you have the correct engine version installed.
- The correct engine version can be determined by looking at the OpenTournament.uproject from within a text editor. Find the line which says "EngineAssociation" and note the numerical value associated with it.
- The correct Unreal Engine version can be installed through the Epic Games Launcher. On the sidebar, select "Unreal Engine" then select the "Library" tab at the top. Select the "+" button next to Engine Versions and set it to the appropriate Engine version.
Git is a version control system utilized by GitHub & the Open Tournament project. The Git tool can be interfaced through using the command line, or using graphical frontends such as GitKraken, Git Fork or Sourcetree. Make sure you install Git with LFS support. Please refer to Git, GitHub, or your GUI client's tutorials on how to clone the Open Tournament repository.
NOTE : Lately we have been experimenting with including precompiled binaries in the repository, to ease the setup for non-developers. You should now be able to run Editor straight after cloning, given you have the right UnrealEngine version installed from Epic Games Launcher. If you are not a C++ developer, you can try skipping this step, double-click OpenTournament.uproject, and report back to us any issue in Discord.
