Installation

WARNING

The plugin must be installed in the project. Do not use the version installed in the engine, because it will need to contain assets and configurations specific to the project.

Step 1: Installation

Two methods are available for installing the plugin: through the Epic Games Launcher or through the Fab plugin. Installation through the Fab plugin is recommended because it is much simpler.

Via the Epic Games Launcher

Install through the Epic Games Launcher

Copy the plugin folder into the project Plugins folder

UE installation directory/Plugins/Marketplace/System plugin folder

↓

Project directory/Plugins/System plugin folder

Delete the Binaries and Intermediate folders

Project directory/Plugins/System plugin folder/Binaries

Project directory/Plugins/System plugin folder/Intermediate

Note: these folders appear only if the plugin has already been enabled. If they do not appear, you can move directly to the rest of the process.

Reopen the Unreal Engine project

Via the Fab plugin

Install through the Fab plugin

Note: the plugin will be added directly to the project.

Step 2: Project Configuration

VERY IMPORTANT

Add the configuration Data Asset to the additional assets-to-cook list in Project Settings > Packaging > Additional Asset Directories to Cook.

Without this step, the system configuration will not be included in the final game package. The project can still be packaged and the system can start, but it will not work as intended.

INFORMATION

The plugin may be installed in the engine and in the project. If that is the case, since there will be two versions of the same plugin, Unreal Engine will use the one in the project. After copying the plugin into the project, you may remove it from the engine if you wish. In all cases, you must always use a version installed in the project, not in the engine.
