ID 516573 - UnrealReader node does not load maps/levels if they are stored in a plugin's Content folder, rather than the games Content folder

Follow

Problem summary
UnrealReader node does not load maps/levels if they are stored in a plugin's content folder, rather than the games content folder
 
On the other hand, sequences do get loaded from plugin content folders 
 
Customer reported version
nuke.13.2v3
 
Customer reported platform
windows10
 
Steps to reproduce
 
1) Open Unreal Engine

2) In the Unreal Project Browser, create a new FILM/VIDEO & LIVE EVENT>Blank project

3) Once the Main map has opened, from the

menu, select Add Level Sequence, and create a sequence called SequenceOne and press Save
 
4) In Edit>Plugins search for Nuke and enable the Nuke Server plugin, restarting Unreal Engine for the plugin to work, making sure to save the project changes.
 
5) Create a new level in File>New Level...>Open World
 
6) Once the Untitled map has opened, from the
menu, select Add Level Sequence, and create a sequence called SequenceTwo and press Save
 
7) Save the current level, with File>Save Current Level and call it OtherMap
 
8) Open the Nuke Server with Window>Nuke Server, and press Start Server
 
9) Open Nuke
 
10) Create an UnrealReader node and press Connect to Server. In the map knob drop down, you should see both /Game/Main and /Game/OtherMap and in the sequence knob dropdown, both /Game/SequenceOne and /Game/SequenceTwo:
 


 
11) Close Unreal
 
12) Navigate to the project folder for the new project that was made and find the OtherMap.umap and SequenceTwo.uasset files in the Content directory
 
13) Copy the OtherMap.umap and SequenceTwo.uasset files files to: C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.0\Engine\Plugins\Foundry\NukeServer\Content
 
14) Delete the OtherMap.umap and SequenceTwo.uasset files from the game's Content directory
 
15) Reopen the Unreal project
 
16) Open the Nuke Server with Window>Nuke Server, and press Start Server
 
17) In Nuke, in the UnrealReader node and press Fetch Latest. In the map knob drop down, only /Game/Main loads, /NukeServer/OtherMap is missing but in the Sequence knob dropdown, both /Game/SequenceOne and /NukeServer/SequenceTwo load:
 


 
Expected behaviour
For /NukeServer/OtherMap to be present in the map knob dropdown
 
Actual behaviour
The /NukeServer/OtherMap map is missing from the map knob dropdown
 
Workaround
None
