This document outlines accessing Non-Asset packaged applications during the stream.
Prepare to execute instructions.
Before starting the first step, make sure you have:
1. Access to the Control Panel
2. Enabled the Pixel Streaming plugin before packaging your application
3. At least one uploaded application in the Control Panel.
Upload your Unreal Engine Application to Eagle 3D Streaming's Platform for Pixel Streaming
4. To upload a local file at runtime, refer to this document Upload A local file from User's Device to send to the unreal app
To complete this guide, your working environment must meet all the requirements above. If you have not completed any of the points, follow the link to the appropriate instruction and complete it first.
Instructions
To upload your files at runtime, see these instructions
Upload A local file from User's Device to send to the unreal app
To access local Non-Asset files at runtime, and have them load correctly in your streamed application, where would you place the Asset folder to access its files at runtime?
If you need to use the Non-Asset files in the project, make sure you put them in the saved folder.
Go to Project Settings → search ‘’additional non asset directories to package’’ → Add elements and choose a directory from your computer.
In the packaged folder on your desktop, it should be in the Content directory.
Image1. Unreal Engine editor: Project Settings: Additional Non-Asset directories to package
For Example:
To package a non-asset: what it does is, it converts .txt files into .PAK files.
To copy non-asset: it does not convert .txt files. They would always stay as .txt files.
Package

Copy

Then get the Node, “Get saved Dir“. It will give you a complete path of that such as:
(Project Path)/project/saved/
From there you need to add a file name that you want to upload with extensions. For example
(Project Path)/project/saved/123image.jpeg
