Additional Terminal commands not found

Note

Below steps are no longer required if you are using 3.1.1 or above. Additional terminal commands are now automatically included in packaged game.

The following guide only applies to 3.0 and 3.1.0.

If you are side-loading additional terminal commands, they might not be loaded in a packaged game even though they work in Unreal Editor. To fix this, make sure you add the paths of your terminal commands to Project Settings -> Packaging -> Additional Asset Directories to Cook
