Description

When testing multiplayer in the editor, are you tired of having to constantly resize your PIE windows? I know I sure was! Well, now you can have your PIE and eat it too with LaunchPad! This simple editor tool will be your new best friend. Don’t worry about how to fit all of your PIE clients on your display.. let LaunchPad do it for! Need 3 windows? DONE! 8? No problem* just click the button and sit back.

(* NOTE: some PC’s might not be able to handle 8 or 10 PIE windows.. I’m sure yours can.. really.. totally.. and if it can’t, well it’s not my fault).

To be honest, I typically use UEDesktop to manage my multiplayer sessions but recently, I’ve been bouncing around between 2, 3 and 5 clients in PIE and it was always a pain to switch back and forth, move the windows so they didn’t overlap or weren’t too small! So I took some time, pulled the window sizing code out of UEDesktop and created LaunchPad. Hopefully you find it useful. I know myself and others on my team sure did.
