十进制数字	二进制表示

	RunUAT BuildCookRun -project="full_path.uproject"^
	-noP4 -platform=Win64^
	-clientconfig=Development -serverconfig=Development^
	-cook -allmaps -build -stage^
	-pak -archive -archivedirectory="Output Directory"

	:: Cook client
	RunUAT BuildCookRun -project="full_project_path_and_project_name".uproject^
