Understanding Results

Once a scan completes, you'll see results organized by severity in a table organized into columns:

  • Checkbox: selects which asset(s) you want to fix.
  • Severity: the issue severity level.
  • Rule: the rule that triggered the issue.
  • Asset: the affected asset.
  • Message: what was detected.
  • Fix: how it can be resolved (suggested or automatic fix).
  • View: action/button to show the asset in the Content Browser.

Usage notes:

  • Hovering any cell shows the full text if it doesn’t fit.
  • Double-clicking any row also navigates to the corresponding asset in the Content Browser.

Inspection Rules

Content Inspector Pro includes 7 built-in rules:

1. Naming Prefix

Validates asset naming conventions based on prefix rules. Perfect for enforcing team naming standards.

Example: Detects if a texture is missing a prefix like T_ or TX_

2. Texture Compression

Audits texture compression settings to ensure optimal performance and quality.

Example: Detects incorrect compression formats

3. Texture Max Size

Checks if textures exceed your project's maximum size limits.

Example: Flags 4K textures when your limit is 2K

4. Texture Power of Two

Validates that texture dimensions follow Power of Two (POT) standards.

Example: Detects 1024×512 textures instead of standard 1024×1024

5. Static Mesh LODs

Audits LOD (Level of Detail) setup on static meshes.

Example: Detects meshes missing LODs or with incorrect LOD distances

6. Redirectors

Detects orphaned or problematic asset redirectors.

Example: Finds broken redirects that can slow down editor performance

7. Empty Folders

Finds empty folders in your project structure.

Example: Detects unused /Content/Temp/Old Assets/ folders
