Convert the Project into a C++ Project
Why convert the project into a C++ project?
To set up a dedicated server, you need to add a server module to the project. You cannot add a server module unless your project has a source folder. To initiate the source folder, you must convert the project into a C++ project.
Follow the steps to convert the project to a C++ project:
Step 1. Navigate to Tools > New C++ Class
