Packaging

Once your RL environment is done you will want to package it for other people to use.

1. Cook the game this will generate a compact version of the environment that can easily be redistributed.

UE4Editor.exe <GameName or uproject> -run=cook -targetplatform=<Plat1>+<Plat2> [-cookonthefly] [-iterate] [-map=<Map1>+<Map2>]

2. Package the cooked game with your python code by adding all the files in the package_data section of setuptools

setup(
    name="cartpole",
    package_data={"cartpole": [
        "UE cooked files",
             ...
    ]},
)

3. To access the packaged data inside a python module you can use pkg_resources

import pkg_resources

cartpole_linux = pkg_resources.resource_filename(
    __name__, "Cooked/LinuxNoEditor/Cartpole/Binaries/Linux/Cartpole"
)
