Is there a way to transfer 5.32 UE5 BP into 5.1 projects? I have created lots of player Widget blueprints and I am scared to transfer them to an older version of UE since it might crash. I have copied lots of files of the 5.32 UE project on my hard drive just to make sure I am safe. Any tips will help. Thanks alot!

Thanks! make sure you click all the way through! I stopped at dependencies folder thinking it was migrating within the same project.

Is there a way to do this, but for like a whole pack? For example, the "complete projects" you can get through the marketplace. Like if 'm working on a medieval village or something, and want to add this really cool castle ruin I found on the marketplace, but the castle ruin is it's own complete project. So I can't just add it to my existing project like normal. Is there a way to grab all the assets and add them to my existing project, or should I just use the way shown in this video and go one by one?

Is it possible to somehow take files from different videogames (for example a tree or sword or even whole levels) and transfer them into the unreal engine editor? Thx for answering

Is there a way to migrate for example a material that I would need in every project without opening the project containing that same material each time? Basically just import it? thanks

[zodiacman]

Thanks for the no-bs quick run through! Quick question, does the project which is receiving the assets need to be closed while migrating? Thanks again!

dude im so confused... your video is not the issue but when i try to migrate it fails everytime and not only that ubt no matter what i select to migrate it tries to migrate EVERYTHING in the project, and the result is that nothing is migrated. tried drag and drop and when i do literally nothing happens. no loading or freezing or errors its just as if i did nothing. and when i try to use the import option from files, i go to the project i want to get the asset from and in the files the map (just a landscape and lighting) the maps folder is completely empty. but when i boot up the project i can clearly see all the maps in unreal. they just dont show up in my file explorer. anyone have any suggestions?

Help: So, I tried migrating several static meshes from one project to another using the method you showed. The transfer worked and the meshes, along with the materials and textures, appeared in the receiving project. HOWEVER, it appears that it also DELETED the meshes from the project that I migrated from. So, it wasn't a COPY, but a MOVE. Is it supposed to do this? If so, how do I COPY meshes along with their materials and textures? Thanks for the video.

When transferring everything went well, but when I opened the project there were no files in it. In folders when I looked at everything in place

I tried doing this with Superhero Flight Animations pack and it gave me a bunch of errors which caused it not to work
any tips?
