Project Asset Validation

Asset validation is a crucial process in ensuring the error-free integration of assets into your project. Properly configured assets that meet the engine's requirements contribute to the stability and performance of your project.

Purpose

The primary goals of asset validation are to:

• Identify and rectify missing files
• Correct incorrect references
• Enforce proper naming conventions
• Ensure compatibility with project settings

When Does Validation Occur?

Asset validation occurs in two key instances:

1. Importing Assets:

   • Assets are validated when imported into the project.
   • This helps catch issues at the time of asset integration.

2. Opening a Project:

   • Validation is triggered when opening the project.
   • This ensures ongoing integrity, especially if assets have been modified or updated externally.

Validation Checks

During the asset validation process, the system checks for the following:

• Missing Files:

  • Identifies assets with missing or incomplete files.

• Incorrect References:

  • Flags assets with references that do not match the expected configuration.

• Naming Conventions:

  • Ensures that assets adhere to the specified naming conventions.

• Compatibility Settings:

  • Verifies that assets are configured in a way that is compatible with the project's requirements.

How to Resolve Issues

If validation flags any issues, it is essential to address them promptly. Common steps for resolution include:

1. Missing Files:

   • Locate and add the missing files to the project.

2. Incorrect References:

   • Update references to match the correct configuration.

3. Naming Conventions:

   • Rename assets to align with the established naming conventions.

4. Compatibility Settings:

   • Adjust the settings of the asset to ensure compatibility.
