🛡️ LocalVault: Total Ownership of Your Fab Library
Owning instead of streaming.
With the transition to the unified Fab ecosystem, digital asset management has moved to the cloud. While convenient, this creates a critical vulnerability for professional studios: Asset Volatility. Your expensive environment packs and MetaHumans are currently stored in hidden, temporary engine caches that can be wiped or corrupted at any moment.
LocalVault is the professional’s bridge between the cloud and the workstation. It is an advanced C++ utility plugin designed to give you 100% control over your digital portfolio through true offline backups, instant metadata tagging, and zero-latency search.
🚀 The Reason of LocalVault: Permanence, Organization, Privacy
📦 True Offline Backup (Permanence) LocalVault solves the "disappearing asset" problem. It executes a deep, multi-threaded extraction of your volatile FFabAssetsCache, duplicating raw files into a standardized, human-readable directory structure on your external NAS or backup drive.
Safe Extraction: Moves files from obscured AppData paths to your chosen vault.
Project Ready: Backed-up folders are formatted for instant drag-and-drop into any future Unreal project—no Epic Launcher required.
🏷️ Semantic Intelligence (Organization) Managing a library of 300+ assets is impossible with native tools. LocalVault introduces a high-speed, local-first tagging system.
Persistent Metadata: Apply project names, genres, or utility tags (e.g., "Cyberpunk", "Client_A", "Performance Heavy") to your assets.
Zero-Latency Search: Since your database is stored locally in optimized JSON, searching through thousands of assets is instantaneous.
🔒 Zero-API Security (Privacy) We believe your credentials should remain yours. LocalVault uses a proprietary Zero-API Strategy.
No Login Required: It natively hooks into the Unreal Engine's internal cache module. You never have to provide your Epic password or OAuth tokens to our tool.
Air-Gapped Ready: Once your assets are downloaded via the Editor, LocalVault works 100% offline.
⚡ Unique Features
🛡️ The "Anti-Delisting" Shield: Ensure that even if an asset is removed from Fab or the creator leaves the platform, you still hold the raw files you paid for.
⚡ Multi-Threaded Throughput: Optimized C++ backend ensures that even 100GB environment megapacks are backed up with maximum disk I/O efficiency.
📋 JSON Data Portability: Your custom tags are stored in a simple, version-control-friendly Database.json. Share your library organization across your entire studio via Git or Perforce.
🛠️ Engine Integrated: Designed specifically for UE 5.7+, utilizing the latest internal Fab modules for 1:1 compatibility.
📖 Professional Workflow
Sync: Hit "Sync with Epic" to instantly index every asset currently in your local cache.
