The Packaged Version

Once you've finished the project, it's good practice to package it (as covered in the previous chapters) so that we have a pure standalone version that doesn't use Unreal Engine editor, which will run faster and is more lightweight.

The following steps will help you create the packaged version of Exercise 16.01, Testing the Third Person Template in Multiplayer file:

1. Go to File -> Package Project -> Windows -> Windows (64-bit).
2. Pick a folder to place the packaged build and wait for it to finish.
3. Go to the selected folder and open the WindowsNoEditor folder inside it.
4. Right-click on TestMultiplayer.exe and pick Create Shortcut.
5. Rename the new shortcut Run Server.
6. Right-click on it and pick Properties.
7. On the Target, append ThirdPersonExampleMap?Listen -server, which creates a listen server using ThirdPersonExampleMap. You should end up with this:

   "<Path>\WindowsNoEditor\TestMultiplayer.exe"...
