Rebuilding Zoelie from Source

This is a fix for the following error: SDGM560 could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually.

Downloading Visual Studio and Installing C++ Package

You can skip this step if you already have Visual Studio and the Game Development with C++ workload installed

Download Visual Studio 2017 or higher: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

Install or check if you have installed Game Development with C++ workload

Open the Visual Studio Installer. Under the visual studio version you downloaded, clock on Modify. This will open a new window in app.

Under the Workloads tab, scroll down to the Gaming section and make sure Game development with C++ is selected. If it is, you can close the installer and continue. If it is not, select the package and click the Modify button in the bottom right of the installer. Once the package is installed successfully, you can continue.

Extract OceanPlugin.zip. Navigate to the project folder, open the Plugins folder, and delete the OceanPlugin folder and replace it with the extracted OceanPlugin folder from the zip file.

Rebuilding from Source

Navigate to the project folder and select and delete the following files and folders:

1. .vs
2. Binaries
3. Intermediate
4. SDGM560.sln

Under Plugins > OceanPlugin, delete Binaries and Intermediate

Right-click on SDGM560.uproject and click Generate Visual Studio project files.

Once the project files are done generating, open the SDGM560.uproject file. You should get the following message:

Click Yes and it the project will start to rebuild. Once the rebuild is completed, the project will open automatically.

If you still get the error: SDGM560 could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually.

This is an issue with the engine. Completely uninstall and then reinstall Unreal Engine 4.23.1. After going through the steps again, Visual Studio will say "incredible license invalid starting in standalone mode," but it should bypass the error.
