How to Setup WOTgreal

Hi,
Today, I'll help you out in installing and setup WOTgreal , an editor for unreal scripting. It comes with Intellisense ( a feature made popular by Microsoft Visual Studio), which really helps in faster and better coding.

I am not saying, it is the only editor solution out their, but it is one of the most convenient after Notepad++.

First of all, download WOTgreal from here , along with  WOTgreal development kit.
We need the development kit to enable some of the features, which are not available with installer package.

Install the WOTgreal with defaults. Do not start the program yet. Unzip the development kit and copy all of the files in main WOTgreal installation folder.

Now, start the WOTgreal and wait for it to load the initial start setup.

1. Setup Wizard :  press next.
2. Configure Game Type: Do not select anything and press next.
3. Configure Look & Feel : choose Keyboard settings, Highlighter settings  & Skins. I usually leave it as it is.
4. Class / Package Tree : keep the check box checked and press next.
5.  WOTgreal will ask you to associate .uc file with it. Press "Yes".
6. We are ready to work.
