A shared settings window for blueprint mods that want to use it.

How to use as a mod user

How to use as a mod developer

Download the most recent release of _ModHub.zip

Extract the folder _ModHub from within this .zip into your UE project's Content folder. So an example project path should be AstroColony/Content/_ModHub

There are 3 interfaces:

  • IHub - Coontains functions that can be called on the Mod Hub Manager. More on that later
  • IHubPageWidget - The interface to add to every widget blueprint page that you want to add to Mod Hub
  • IHubMod - The interface to add to the main mod actor of your mod

Notes

  • Do not pack the _ModHub folder nor its contents with your mod. A copy already exists with the ModHub itself.
  • If you want to view the ModHub source code, you can find it in the Source folder. Make sure you don't pack this with your mod.
  • There is an example ModHub mod called "Test", if you get stuck.
