Download and Import MAGES SDK¶

Before you start¶

Latest release of UE_MAGES_SDK runs on Unreal Engine 4.26.

You will have to download the Epic Installer and then from the Unreal Engine tab install editor version 4.26.x.

x should not create conflicts with the installation of the SDK.

Warning

Make sure you install this specific version otherwise you may encounter incompatibilities between internal and 3 ^rd party packages.

Download MAGES SDK¶

Download the latest MAGES SDK Unreal plugin from the ORamaVR Portal.

Import MAGES SDK¶

It is imperative that MAGES_SDK is installed as an engine plugin (and not as a project plugin) by copying the “MAGES_SDK” plugin folder into the “Plugins” folder inside the engine (that would typically be C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.26\Engine\Plugins)

Plugin Installation¶

Navigate to the engine plugin folder (that would typically be C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.26\Engine\Plugins) and copy the “MAGES_SDK” folder into it.

Project Setup¶

Launch Unreal Engine 4.26, select the Games category and create a blank project.

As of version 0.9 beta, UE MAGES SDK utilizes all the core features required for development

From the Unreal Editor navigate to Settings on the top menu, select Plugins, search for MAGES_SDK and enable as shown in the figure below.

Warning

There is a conflict introduced by SteamVR with the OculusVR plugin, so make sure to disable it as shown below, otherwise your project will not work.
