's BP Config File (.ini) Suite ![ConfigMain.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/c/bc59130af5a174e7be444531c1a0da57158ebeea.jpeg) **’ Suite of Custom Config Section BP Nodes!** Using my new suite of BP nodes, you can create as many of your own custom config file sections as you want! You can both create and retrieve ini variables with any name and fundamental type that you want! ```auto **Supported Types:** Bool Int Float Rotator Vector Color String ``` **Why Use a Config Var?** Config vars have several benefits 1. **Persistent data storage** without using a SaveGame struct or GameInstance, store simple quantities of data and player customization way! Data is stored between level loads and even after the current instance of the game is shut down. So in way config vars have greater persistence than the GameInstance class! 1. **Player-Driven Customization** , Players of your game can tweak the config vars that you make available for them on their hard disk, by editing the .ini file directly, just like AAA games! is the most significant advantage of using config files, and their real core purpose. 🙂 2. **Simplicity,** simpler to use than the BP SaveSystem (which is quite wonderful by the way), but not quite as powerful in that you can only store basic data types, not UObjects and Actors. 3. \*\*Organization, \*\*you can create as many config header sections as you want using my nodes, organizing your custom settings way! ````auto **Game.ini** of your custom created config vars and sections are stored in: **Saved/Config/Windows/Game.ini** Players can navigate to location on their harddrive to edit your ini files just like any AAA game would allow! Here's what my **Game.ini** file looks like after running some tests! ``` [DebugWindows] ConsoleWidth=160 ConsoleHeight=4000 ConsoleX=-32000 ConsoleY=-32000 [/Script/UnrealEd.ProjectPackagingSettings] BuildConfiguration=PPBC_Development StagingDirectory=(Path="E:/MYPROJECT_DELETE") FullRebuild=True ForDistribution=False UsePakFile=True UseOBB_InAPK=False CulturesToStage=en [Victory] BoolVar=True VectorVar=X=1.000 Y=2.000 Z=9000.123 StrVar=Yay For Custom Config Vars!!! FloatVar=234.000000 ``` **Now you have fully featured ability to use config variables entirely in BP!** ```` **Usage** Here’s an example usage! ![Usage.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/e/de5dc887be842d53a04d1d641d9aa8473b67bc5c.jpeg) ```auto **Latest plugin download on the UE4 Wiki: (7.91 mb)** https://wiki.unrealengine.com/File:VictoryPlugin.zip ``` **Victory Plugin on Media Fire** If your browser is not updating the Wiki download page to the most recent version, you can use my alternative Media Fire download link!

Hey , could you add a node like “Execute Console Command” with the addition that it has an output String which prints out the output? For example if I type “sg.ShadowQuality” in the console then the output I get is “sg.ShadowQuality = “3” LastSetBy: Console”. I just want to know the 3, so the info how a certain console variable is set at the moment 🙂 Would be possible? ---

Yes as of 4.8 they have added support for you to be able to add both patch content as well as DLC content! The point that is fuzzy for me is whether people wanting to add content will need the entire original project, which means the original Dev needs to be willing to share the entirety of their project (which doesnt seem likely for a commerical game). Epic had mentioned " packs" in an earlier release, I wonder if packs can more easily be used in any project as opposed to patchs/DLC that are indended to extend some original project.
