An Unreal Engine plugin containing all modules and dependencies that were created for Project Elementus.
About
Project Elementus was intended to be a third person template that can be used to start projects that will use some new features that come with Unreal Engine 5 as well as powerful existing features like the Gameplay Ability System and others. And now, all its contents were turned into this plugin containing modules accordingly to it’s objective! : )
As a plugin, it is easier to organize, update and insert the content into already existing projects, facilitating maintenance and usability.
Features
Gameplay Ability System;
Modular Game Features plugins;
Epic Online Services;
Enhanced Input;
Networking/Replication/Multiplayer;
Inventory System;
Custom plugins;
Others.
Modules
Elementus Ability System: Adds custom classes, structures and functions related to Gameplay Ability System.
Elementus Actors: Adds custom actors to be used in other projects.
Elementus Common: Contains code that will be shared between the modules.
Elementus Core: Contains code related to the core of the game framework such as character, controllers, etc.
Elementus Epic Online Services: This module is focused in the integration of the Epic Online Services and contains some functions and a Game Instance class that provides EOS access directly via Unreal’s APIs.
Elementus Inventory System: Contains custom classes and interfaces to enable the use of an inventory system with multiplayer compatibility.
I downloaded the Plugin version from the Release section of the Git. My system is running on a Nvidia card. At first I thought it was that I had DLSS in my project. So I tried it again on an empty project and it still crashed the editor. Finally I got it to open by removing the UEFSR folder. But then everything in the scene was really jaggie. I tried setting the Screen percentage to 100 but it keeps resetting itself to 56% when I open it. I would suggest that by default this plugin should be Deactivated.
Sorry for the delay in responding. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to give much attention to this project in the past few days, but I intend to make up for it as soon as possible. I agree to make the FSR optional and easier to disable. : )
I also plan to adjust a few things soon, including the settings class to prevent changes from being blocked.
I spent a good chunk of time investigating why I was getting ensures loading up a clean project. This doesn’t seem to be mentioned, but you need the gameplay tags in your new project.
Here was my process to get this running:
Copy the ProjectElementus_UE51\Config\Tags folder from the elementus project into your new project.
Copy the the DefaultGameplayTags.ini from the elementus project and overwrite your one in your clean project.
Copy all the Elementus Plugin settings (in project settings) from the Elementus project to your new project
Copy the extra Asset Manager - primary asset types to scan from the elementus project to your new project.
I has to reassign the ABP_Manny to the BP_Character - the reference was broken.
Lastly, I had to add the GameFeature for Default Mapping from the elementus project to my new project.
Hopefully that helps others here.
However, I am specifically trying to get this running in Quest2 VR, and am running into a number of compile issues. Any help here would be very very appreciated.
Edit: It looks like most of these might be related to the Model Viewer Plugin. That include would require an engine recompile though. Ugh. Any way to remove this as a dependency? The Model Viewer plugin is still beta.
I performed some surgery to remove the ViewModel references. Last errors are missing asset refs. This is directly to do with the Elementus Inventory and Asset Manager, but as best I can see I’ve set everything up correctly, and the DeathPotion isnt causing issues like the others. Super odd.
Aside from this it compiles to an APK (when the items are removed), so I think I may have this working.

I’m adding more info here, in the hopes it will help others avoid hours of digging to find out how to do basic things.
THIS, is how you add an item to an inventory dynamically in blueprints (as best I can tell). This should really be in an example, since its not always clear to people what a primary asset Id is.
Also, there seems to be an issue directly calling the Inventory component. So use the “Get Inventory Component” instead.
Can you make video tutorial how to use it? It has everything I want, but its really hard to understand. I added plugin to fresh topdown project and whats now? If i try create game feature plugin i got error.
I tried use simple example, cant open it with UE5, its ask to add MF extra action plugin(did it after), after its tell me rebuild and its fail without any errors.
I think this template great opportunity for new people.
Really interested in
How setup to fresh. Example for creating attribute set, adding ability and adding input to it.
