UDK is from a different era of software project development, so it doesn’t have a lot of the nice features (or the look) that we have grown accustomed to. It can be a bit annoying to navigate and understand, so the next few sections will be a walkthrough of how you should set it up.

I use Windows 10 and the Steam version of Rocket League, so please keep that in mind through the entirety of this guide. Because Rocket League is no longer officially supported on Mac or Linux as of 2019, and installing UDK is also unlikely to work, you're almost certainly going to have to be on Windows also.

Each downloaded map has a custom identifier in here, and it can be incredibly valuable to open them up in UDK and see how things are made.

Create a new text file, then rename it something like UtopiaOverwrite.bat. To use this script, simply drag your map file onto it, and it will overwrite the Rocket Labs Utopia Retro (donut) map, which is not used in any online multiplayer playlist.
For ease of use, I copy this script into the folder of each of my in-progress maps.
