This guide explains the steps required to install the FrozenSand - Urban Terror Mapping Plugin, and configure the Unreal Engine, to facilitate the creation of custom levels (maps) for Urban Terror 5: Resurgence.

Be aware that the Engine takes a lot of disk space (G0 GB+), and maybe 5 to 10 GB for a Level.

(This guide is for Windows. Some steps will vary on Linux.)

Getting Unreal Engine 4

Urban Terror is built upon Unreal Engine 4. To create a custom level you need to use the Unreal Editor. The first step is to download the editor. There are several ways to get the UE4 editor. The easiest is to download and install it through the Epic Games Launcher.

  • Download the Epic Games Launcher: https://www.epicgames.com/store/download
  • Start the Launcher.
  • Log in with your existing Epic Games account or create a new account.
  • Switch to the Library tab at the top of the launcher.
  • Click the yellow plus sign to add a new engine version. You need to use the same version that the Mapping Plugin was released for. That's currently 4.26.x (the patch version 'x' is not relevant for creating a custom levels, so use the latest).
  • Click Install. A new window should pop up that lets you choose the install location.
  • Click the *Options* button. Make sure to select Linux. Everything else doesn't matter and can be unchecked to save disk space. Click *Apply* to confirm your choices.
  • Click the *Install* button and wait for the Unreal Editor to download and install.
