# Perforce File Type Mapping Specifications.
#
#  TypeMap:    a list of filetype mappings; one per line.
#        Each line has two elements:
#
#          Filetype: The filetype to use on 'p4 add'.
#
#          Path:     File pattern which will use this filetype.
#
# See 'p4 help typemap' for more information.

@michaelwbell
I just checked my gist for p4ignore here https://gist.github.com/jase-perf/b15b57d72fa8095c732fdbc4ca948903
which is based on Epic's recommendations and there is this line:

**/Engine/Binaries/**/*.exp

So it does seem like at least those ones should be ignored. I wonder if all of them should, though.

Thanks. I've also added .flac in my version.

Since information is limited, I am sharing my typemap with a more specific focus on Unity Engine that could complement this list:

Thanks for that @CitizenZultron ! I finally took the time to incorporate your changes and update the typemap. I made a few changes like removing +S from a couple file types, since I try to avoid recommending that without caveats since it could result in someone losing a version they needed and that can't be regenerated from the other files. Let me know if you think that was incorrect, though!

Hey @jase-perf it should be _BuiltData.uasset not _BuildData.uasset

Hey @jase-perf it should be _BuiltData.uasset not _BuildData.uasset

So true!! Just updated. Thanks for catching that!
