Advanced Build Presets

Below are some advanced methods of configuring Build Presets. These settings can be found within the Project configuration file.

Pre-build

These are pre-build, Build Preset settings:

  • MethodToExecute: Exclusively for Unity. This will execute this method before building.
  • AdditionalBuildArgs: These are additional arguments to pass into the builder. (either the UnityEditor or Unreal Automation Tool) (this is an array of strings)

Post-build

These are post-build, Build Preset settings:

  • SteamBranchName: This is the name of the branch you would like to upload your build to.
  • IncludeFilesFromFolder: This is a directory which UBuild will copy all files from to include in the final build.
  • ExcludeFilesFromBuild: These are files that will be deleted from the final build.
  • ExcludeFoldersFromBuild: These are files that will be deleted from the final build.
  • DeleteBuildExceptZip: This will determine whether UBuild will clear the final build folder of all files except the compressed file. (this only applies if CompressToZip is true)
  • CompressToZip: This will determine whether UBuild will compress the final build to a zip archive.
  • SendToEmail: This will determine whether UBuild will send email notifications for this build.
  • SendToFTP: This will determine whether UBuild will send this completed build to the FTP site.
  • ForcePullFreshProject: This will determine whether UBuild will force a fresh clone from Git before building. (requires Git configuration, see more here)
