Apologies if this question has already been asked and answered.
I have been working on a project for quite some time now and through the course of developing my project, I have enabled several reliant plug-ins from within the UE engine.
Now I would like to start a “clean” project in order to migrate only the necessary assets.
This means that I also have to bring over project settings and required plug-ins. For the project settings, I am simply going to copy/paste the 2 ini files needed.
But is there a similar to follow for the plug-ins ?
Is this as simple as copy/pasting the plug-in folder as well ?
So in UE5,your plugin settings are going to be in your project’s “Config” folder, specifically in the “Engine.ini” file. If you look in that and Ctrl+F “Plug” you will find the plugins section, you SHOULD be able to just copy paste that text block to your new project’s “Engine.ini” file with the project closed and upon open it’ll assert itself.
The only file with this name is located in: ProjectName\Saved\Config\WindowsEditor
(NOT A ProjectName\Config!!!)
And copying the Plugin list from there will not help in any way, because there is not a complete list of active plugins (I don’t know why) this method does not work.
UPD: The list of plugins is stored in Nameproject/Name project.uproject, you need to open it as a text file.
