Hello! I’m trying to follow S03, Lecture 71 (creating a blueprint from BuildingEscapeGameMode) but I only have BuildingEscapeGameModeBase in the Content Browser.
(I could still continue the lesson)
Hi Mosho,
I believe “BuildingEscapeGameModeBase” is effectively the same as “BuildingEscapeGameMode”. Perhaps this was renamed in an update to Unreal. I converted my “base” to a blueprint without any issues while following along.
Cheers.

Yeah, I could continue as well. I was a little confused at first, because both GameMode and GameModeBase exist. I thought think might be worth making an update (same as other additions to the original videos) if more people feel the same.
So you have BuildingEscapeGameMode and BuildingEscapeGameModeBase in your project? Could I have a screenshot of that?
No, I meant the native GameMode and GameModeBase.
AGameMode is derived from AGameModeBase and from the source file of AGameMode
So I guess it depends on what template you used when creating your project and that it got changed in perhaps 4.12, my BuildingEscape project uses AGameMode and my BattleTank uses AGameModeBase both of which I’m pretty sure were empty projects. I assume that now with an empty project would get you a AGameModeBase game mode and in a template project like the FPS one you get AGameMode.
I finished the section successfully using BuildingEscapeGameModeBase; it seems to have replaced BuildingEscapeGameMode in Unreal 13 or 14.
