BatchImportCommandlet
A native commandlet for importing multiple files into a package.
Syntax
UCC Editor.BatchImport <package filename> <import type> <wildcard>
Example
At the command line in a DOS box:
C:\UT2003\System> UCC Editor.BatchImport ..\Sounds\MyNewSoundPackage.uax audio D:\UTSounds\MySounds\*.wav
This imports all wave files in the D:\UTSounds\MySounds directory into the package MyNewSoundPackage.uax.
Parameters
- package filename
- Name of the (new) package with path and file extension.
- import type
- The type of resource to import. This could be something like "Audio", "Texture" or "StaticMesh".
- wildcard
- A wildcard specifying the location of the file(s) to import.
How does This Work?
The BatchImport commandlet only executes import console commands for every file that matches the specified wildcard. The command looks like this:
<import type> import package="package name" file="path and name of matching file" name="name of file without extension"
Note that the import type isn't an object class, it's actually a console command.
Known Import Types And Extensions
| Import Type | Extension(s) | Notes |
| Audio | wav | Sounds |
| Texture | pcx, bmp, tga, dds | Textures will be imported with default settings, i.e. not masked, default LOD set (which one?), etc. |
| StaticMesh | lwo (others?) | Static Meshes will be imported with collision and no additional commands are executed (e.g. STATICMESH SETPROJECTION MESH=someMesh AREAID=number) |
