Are there any resources out there on modding Unreal Engine 4 games?

I know it’s relatively easy to decrypt the asset files and stuff, and maybe even to decompile the game, but then how would I get the edited stuff back into the game (and in a distributable way)?

Should I expect the game to be able to load the edited asset file without encryption alongside to the encrypted ones, since I probably wouldn’t be able to encrypt it with the same key as them, or nah?

Backported latest BlueprintAssist from UE 5.5 to UE 4.25 for giggles and shits as a test case for my VersionMacros project. Wasn't too bad. Automatic TObjectPtr conversions save the day! https://github.com/sbseltzer/VersionMacros

I've made some updates to this https://github.com/sbseltzer/VersionMacros

Now auto-backports TObjectPtr to raw pointers in UE4 builds. Also allows you to define the fake macro replacements in an actual header file instead of the sketchy prebuild configuration.

Hey #UnrealEngine code plugin devs, I'm releasing the code I use for my plugins to make #UE4 & #UE5 support a lot easier.

https://github.com/sbseltzer/VersionMacros

Includes better macros for checking engine version and automatic prebuild scripts to work around the preprocessor limitations in UnrealHeaderTool, allowing you to `#if` out blocks of code that contain Unreal "magic macros". This allows you to maintain backwards compatibility without forsaking modern Unreal features. Includes installation instructions and examples of using it.

Feedback is appreciated! I'd also appreciate Linux users to verify it works for them.

L'année dernière, j'ai essayé l'Unreal Engine 4 pour la première fois de ma vie, pour tester la 3D. Et vous savez ce que j'ai essayé de modéliser ??

Des boites MEGADRIVE !!! Bhé oui !

#Megadrive #Sega #UnrealEngine #Cover #BoxMegadrive #UnrealEngine4

Une modélisation en 3D sous Unreal Engine 4 de 3 boites de jeux Megadrive, dont Tiny Toon Buster's Hidden Treasure, Ecco The Dolphin et Castle of Illusion.

Which is your favorite/go-to engine?

#UnrealTips: Toggle Node Purity! Gets and Casts have both pure and impure forms. Right click the node and you'll see an option for it.

Stop using IsValid where possible. Convert get nodes to impure get nodes if you need to branch on their validity.

Need to check if something can be casted as a bool? Or maybe you don't care if the cast fails? Convert it to a pure cast node!

Performance Note: Impure nodes get re-evaluated for each exec node input pin that depends upon them, so if the outputs of the pure node are relatively expensive (such as casting or non-trivial functions) and getting reused a lot in the same execution chain, consider using a macro to explicitly cache it (I've added an image), or just stick with the impure cast.

I'm not saying you should always change node purity, but doing so can make your graphs a lot more readable!

(and don't forget to boost if you want others to see this!)
