Installing the Igloo Camera System

Installation Notes

• The Igloo Unreal Toolkit is installed as a project plugin, into your project folder.

• In future updates we would like to transition to an Engine plugin, to make adding the toolkit to new or existing projects much easier.

• The Igloo Unreal Toolkit, is also dependent on C++ to compile correctly. It is not yet blueprint only capable.

Setting up your project for C++

To add the plugin, due to the nature of it, you need to have a C++ project.

If your project isn’t C++ already, you can make it so by adding a blank class to the project.

To add a blank project, click Tools → New C++ Class

Open

Then on the next window, click Create Class

Open

To create a blank C++ class.

Once the compiler has finished adding code to the project, a popup will prompt you to edit the code now.

This will open visual studio, and allow you to build the project with the plugins included once we add it in the next step.

Adding the plugin into the project

Close down your editor, and find your project folder.

For quick access, right clight the project in Epic Games Launcher, and select Show in Folder

Your folder structure should look similar to this

We need to add a new folder called Plugins

Right click the folder, and create a new folder with that exact name. Like the image below.

Next, open that folder, and copy in the IglooUnrealToolkit folder from your download.

You can now open your project back up.

The Project Cannot be Built due to the SpoutPlugin

The spout plugin has always been difficult. The Unreal build tool isn’t able to build it on a seemingly random basis. The fix is very simple.

1. Open your project’s Visual Studio Solution

2. In the Solution Explorer select your project

3. Select Build and Build (or press F6)

Once the build has succeeded, you can close Visual Studio, and re-open your project. It will open without any errors or warnings.

If it fails to build for any reason to do with the Igloo Unreal Toolkit, please get in touch with the support desk via the options at the root of this document.
