Making a dummy project for unreal engine 5.5.4 shipped game(not satisfactory)
Hello I need some help creating a dummy project for a unreal engine 5.5.4 game like I said in the title. I have got ue asset toolkit to build for this version in unreal engine the part that stumps me is loading the plugin into the game to actually make an asset dump. I don't think I can just inject the plugins dll through a generic dll injector and I don't think I can do what the wiki suggests which is package It as a mod with alpakit and load it with satisfactory mod loader as this isnt satisfactory any help would be appreciated

It's Alpakit (Alpaca Kit) :alpaca_hearts:

alpakitspelling triggered by @Cutie AxolotlSome clarifying questions:
- what game is this
- have you contacted the developers to see if they are interested in supporting a community modding effort? This can save a lot of time and tooling

I have contacted the developers for this game and they said qoute "its not a priority"
So they might send over some resources if you ask but probably not help that much
What game?
When you say "got the asset toolkit building" I assume you mean as an editor plugin. You will need to package it somehow. You could try to update alpakit to work for that engine, or use unreal pak manually. I don't remember what assumptions the toolkit makes about the game, it might register itself for use via command line, it might not. You will have to try and see
@Mircea (Area Actions) bringing this thread to your attention in case you'd like to chime in at points
Anyways, please let us know what game you're trying to mod as that's valuable context and lets other people trying to help answer some of their own questions. I don't plan to talk further here until you answer that
helping without knowing what game it is would be, ahem, sub-optimal 2 say the least
I’m not comfortable sharing the game name publicly just yet, but I can give as much info as possible about the structure of the game if that helps. I know that makes it a bit harder to help, and I really appreciate you taking the time anyway. I’ll absolutely share more if and when I’m able to.
