Stack O Bot tutorial setup

Create the Stack O Bot sample project and apply the Convai tutorial files.

This guide starts with a clean copy of Epic Games' Stack O Bot sample and applies only the files added or changed for the Convai tutorial.

This tutorial delta was prepared with Unreal Engine 5.8. Create a fresh Stack O Bot project with UE 5.8 so its files match the tutorial.

1. Create the Stack O Bot project

1. Open Stack O Bot on Fab.
2. Sign in with your Epic Games account and select Add to My Library. Accept the license if prompted.
3. Open the Epic Games Launcher.
4. Go to Unreal Engine > Library > Fab Library.
5. Find Stack O Bot, select Create Project, and choose Unreal Engine 5.8.
6. Choose a project location that is easy to find. Copy or write down this location before creating the project.

2. Download the tutorial files

1. Download the Stack O Bot Convai tutorial delta.
2. Right-click the downloaded ZIP and select Extract All.
3. Open the extracted folder.
4. Open the Stack O Bot project folder you created earlier.
5. Copy everything inside the extracted delta folder into the project folder.
6. When Windows asks, select Replace the files in the destination.

Copy the contents of the delta folder, not the outer folder itself. The Content and Config folders must be directly beside StackOBot.uproject.

4. Open and test the project

1. Install and enable the matching Convai Unreal Engine plugin release Install the Convai plugin.
2. Open StackOBot.uproject with Unreal Engine 5.8.
3. Open the Convai Editor and sign in.
4. Open Content/StackOBot/Maps/Convai/Lvl_Convai and press Play.

If files appear to be missing, check that extraction did not create an extra nested folder and that you opened the UE 5.8 copy of the project.
