During the preview stage, all Magistrates in the prefecture will automatically enroll. At the end of the preview stage, the battlefield order will be randomly assigned to Magistrate guilds from different servers.
After being available for the first time, the Prefecture Battle will take place every two weeks.

2、Each side of the battlefield has two contention points: outpost and base. There is one neutral flag point.
3、When only members of one's team are within the flag area, a capture progress bar will be triggered. If the bar completes without interruption, the point will be captured. However, if enemies enter the area during the capture, the bar will be interrupted.
4、The occupation progress bar will go faster when more people are occupying.
5、Occupying a neutral flag point grants eligibility to contend for the enemy's outpost. Occupying this output grants eligibility to steal resources from the enemy's base. All contention points can be repeatedly occupied.
6、The first side to capture the enemy base camp wins. If no base camp is captured within the time limit, the side that has occupied more points wins. If both sides have an equal amount of points occupied, the side that has more victories wins. If that is also the same, the defending side wins.
7、Every contention point in the battlefield has 2 revival points. The side that captures the contention point can choose to revive at the corresponding revival point. 2

5.1 Gameplay Introduction
5.1.1 When a Prefecture is established, the nearby prefectures, guilds, and alliances will be pulled into a war over fortresses.
5.2 Gameplay Process
5.2.1 A fortress will be activated between two adjacent fortresses. Fortresses will remain closed until all nearby prefectures are opened.
5.2.2 When a new prefecture is established, the closed fortresses will enter a countdown.
5.2.3 The Prefecture and other guilds who control fortresses in this prefecture are qualified to participate in the fortress battle.
5.2.4 When the countdown for a fortress ends, if no Prefecture has been appointed for this prefecture and the adjacent Prefecture is established, the adjacent Prefecture will immediately occupy this fortress (press the occupy button). Furthermore, after occupying the corresponding fortress, the adjacent prefecture can continue to other other fortresses in the prefecture. In the event that multiple prefectures are contesting the fortresses, the one who occupies the fortress first will obtain ownership.
5.2.5 When the fortress countdown ends, players can enter through Event - Fortress Battle.
5.2.6 The whole process is divided into 3 phases: Occupy Fortress, Offense Registration, and Enter Battlefield. Occupy Fortress and Offense Registration is handled by lords of the corresponding guilds. Other members can enter the battlefield when the battle is about to start.

5.2.8 Fortresses without ownership can be occupied by quickly pressing the occupy button.
5.2.9 It is possible to declare war on a fortress already owned by another guild, essentially signing up for an attack. The guild that currently owned the fortress will default to the defending side.

5.2.13 The enrollment time for the fortress battle is 00:00 - 2100.
5.2.14 Priority enrollment phase is 00:00 - 1200, during which the Prefecture of this prefecture and adjacent ones can enroll for the fortress battle. The regular enrollment phase is 1201 - 2100, during which the Prefecture and relevant guilds can enroll and declare war. Guilds who occupy other fortresses in this prefecture (not necessarily the Prefecture) can also participate in the fortress battle by declaring war.
5.2.15 The battle time for the fortress battle is 2100 - 2230. 5.2.16 When the battle is over, the countdown for the next fortress battle will begin, which currently lasts 28 days.
5.2.17 Players can only join fortress battles in their current prefecture. If they wish to join fortress battles in another prefecture, they must first cross servers.

Once inside the battlefield, the items can be retrieved. Please note: Logistics supplies can only be stored for a maximum of 48 hours. Please retrieve them through the guild's Logistics Department in the county they were uploaded within the specified time. Otherwise, they will be reclaimed by the system.
5.3.3 When the Attacker successfully destroys the Defender towers within the allotted time, it will be considered a successful occupation. If the combat time runs out and the towers are still intact, it will be considered a successful defense. 5.3.4 The initial time for Fortress Battle is 30 minutes. There are 3 occupying points on the battlefield. When 1 point is occupied, 20 minutes of combat time will be added to a total of 90 minutes.
5.3.5 Players may leave battle at any time to assist in other fortress battles.

The LAN IP of the physical host, used for communication between different servers. The tool will automatically retrieve this information.
Scene Server External IP:
The public IP of the physical host, used for client login. Note that the obtained public IP may not always connect to your server, and additional port mapping may be required.
If there's no public IP, you can use the LAN IP, limiting access to only local players. Alternatively, enable the "Start Server in P2P Mode" in the upper-left tab of the tool, allowing non-local players to enter without a public IP. However, this feature is unstable and may fail in complex intranet environments.
Game Ports, Query Ports, and Shutdown Ports:
Used for accessing server-related functions. Each service on a physical host needs a different port, and the tool will automatically check for port availability.
After configuring the above, click "Add Scene Server" to create a scene server. Then, modify server ID, county ID, ports, etc., to add another scene server.
Battle Server Configuration:
A custom server can also open multiple battle servers. Players can enter the battlefield only after the set start time.
Battle Server Map:
To initiate a battlefield, only one of the following needs to be opened: County Battle, Prefecture Battle, or Fortress Battle. For Fair Battlefield - Jousting, one of the specific rules, such as Horse Station Battle, County Battle (Jousting), Prefecture Battle (Jousting), or Fortress Battle (Jousting), can be opened. Multiple Fair Battles can be initiated simultaneously.
Battle Server ID: Each server needs a unique ID.
IP/Port: Refer to the scene server's relevant instructions.
Lobby Server Configuration:
Only one lobby server is needed for player connections, character creation, AFK, county selection, etc.
Server List Name: Displayed in the client's custom server - world interface server list.
Lobby Server ID: Each server needs a unique ID.
Lobby Server Password: If set, players need to enter a password when entering your server.
IP/Port: Refer to the scene server's relevant instructions.
Lobby Server Player Limit:
As one lobby server serves multiple scene servers, the player limit needs to be higher than that of a single scene server. Default settings are recommended.
Public Server Configuration:
Server ID, IP, and ports follow the scene server's relevant instructions.
Peripheral Server Configuration:
Note that Redis configuration is required for peripheral servers. Install Redis software, and the tool's default IP and port match the default settings during Redis installation (no password).
All IPs in the peripheral server are internal IPs, and ports should be different from those of other services.
Database Configuration:
For non-professional users with a moderate number of players, it's recommended not to use the MySQL database. No changes are needed on this tab. The default is to use the SQLite database, which requires no software installation or additional configuration.
Parameter Settings: From the left tabs, Advanced Settings to Guild Settings are various in-game function parameter settings. Default settings match official servers, and you can adjust parameters based on personal preferences.
Mod Management:
The tool automatically detects installed mods; you can input Steam Workshop Mod IDs in the top input box and click "Install" to add mods.
In the SteamModList, click the leftmost square (□) of the desired mod to enable it (turns into a checkmark, √).
Start Server:
After completing the configurations, go to the bottom of the left tabs, select "Launch Console," click "Save Configuration," and start the server. The tool will start all server processes at once.
When the Lobby Server shows "LogStoreServer: [2] Log: register succeed," the lobby server is launched. At this point, your server should be searchable in the server list, and players can enter to create characters.
The Scene Server's startup is relatively slow, so after creating a character and selecting a county, the map may initially appear empty. Wait for some time.
When the Scene Server displays the following information, it means it has started:
ServerId=50000, ServerState=EGameServerState::SERVER_STATE_OPENED
Possible Issues:
If the game_chat_service repeatedly shows "remove visitor groups' members failed, will retry in 2 seconds," the issue may be incorrect Redis configuration. Use the default Redis configuration in the tool if you haven't modified the IP, port, or password after installation.
If the server fails to start, repeatedly displaying an error in red text, check for port conflicts, or examine local memory and network conditions.
If the server starts successfully but other players cannot join, confirm whether your machine has a public IP or perform port mapping operations.
File Structure
Configuration Example
Example: You have resources related to a laser sword and are preparing to make a laser sword weapon.
Create a Mod
Click the Mod icon on the far right side of the toolbar above the editor to open the Mod tool.
Click NEW MOD to create a new mod, write a name and description, select a cover image, then click CREATE.
The content browser will automatically jump to the newly-created laser sword content directory. It is recommended to set a color for the folder or add it to your favorites so that you can find it easily. Import your laser sword-related resources into the folder.
Next, create a new blueprint class in this directory, search for gamedata, choose to inherit the first option, and fill in the name as you like. In this example, we’ve chosen GameData_LaserBlade.
This will be the mod’s base file. It records all of the configuration files in the mod that need to be loaded into the game. If you open it now and take a look, you won’t find any content. The configuration files that will be loaded by the mod will be configured here later. For now, leave it as is.
Configure the Weapon
First, let’s find an existing sword in the game to copy its basic configuration. Search for BP_MathTest_SwordLv60 in the content browser. This is the weapon blueprint corresponding to the Meteoric Blade in Myth of Empires. Let’s use the Reference Viewer to see its associated files.
1. The general item table. The static data of all associated items are summarized in this table. This can be generated through the use of tools. Let’s first configure all files related to the item and then use tools to generate them.
2. The item blueprint. This is the blueprint of the item that can be dropped and crafted in the game. Once equipped in the item bar, the weapon’s actor will be generated based on the item blueprint.
3. The one-handed sword parent class. The normal configuration method is to create a new blueprint class and inherit this parent class. It has been copied here, so you don’t need to worry about the parent class.
4. The broken special effect. This special effect will play when the weapon runs out of durability and breaks. There is no need to change this if you don’t intend to apply a special breaking effect.
5. The sword’s static mesh. This will need to be replaced with your own weapon model.
6. The sword’s destroyed mesh. This is used when your sword is broken and fragments into different pieces. This must also be replaced with your own model.
For now, what we’ll use is the blueprint itself and 2. First, copy these two to the mod directory that you just created. Change the name to whatever you want. In our example, we will call them BP_LaserBlade and ItemBP_LaserBlade.
Configure the Weapon Blueprint
Open BP_LaserBlade.
Select the Weapon Static Mesh. First, replace the sword model with the laser sword, and change the Destroyed Mesh in the class’s default values to the destroyed mesh corresponding to your new model.
Configure the Item Blueprint
Open ItemBP_LaserBlade.
Modify the Item Icon, Item Name, and Description.
Modify the Soft Item Actor Class. This is the actor blueprint class corresponding to this item. Let’s change it to our BP_LaserBlade.
Configure the Item Table
Next we need to configure ItemBP_LaserBlade into a general item table. This table is used when searching for and creating items in the game. Create a new data table, search for ItemRowBase in the row structure, and give it whatever name you like. In this example, we’re calling it DT_Item_LaserBlade.
Open DT_Item_LaserBlade and add a row.
Item ID: Default settings are fine here. The correct ID will be automatically generated when the mod is loaded.
Item Name: This is used to find items in the game.
Item Class: This is the item blueprint corresponding to this data row. Select ItemBP_LaserBlade.
Allow Use: This toggles whether the item can be created in-game by a GM. If unchecked, the item can only be generated when dropped or through crafting. While in the editor, you will not be subject to this restriction.
Note: There is a filed called DT_Item in the official file that is a general list of all items. The contents of this newly-created table in the mod directory will be appended to DT_Item when the mod is loaded. Mods cannot directly modify any official game data.
Configure the Item Static Data Table
Right click on the item blueprint ItemBP_LaserBlade, select Scrpited Actions->Mod Apply Item Data to Table, this step is based on the blueprint of the props, weapon blueprints and other configurations to generate props of the static data, the majority of the game's props of the data is read from this table, every time you modify the props and props corresponding to the weapon blueprints and other data above to take effect in the game will need to carry out this step to generate the operation. Every time you modify the props and their corresponding weapon blueprints, you need to generate the data in this step to make it effective in the game.
After performing this operation, a data table named DT_ModStaticData will be created in the mod content directory where the prop blueprint is located, if there are multiple prop blueprints in the mod, their data will be generated into this table and will not be duplicated.
Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Configure GameData
Now all you need to do is configure DT_Item_LaserBlade and DT_ItemStatic_LaserBlade into the GameData_LaserBlade you created in the beginning, and then you will be able to create them in-game.
Open GameData_LaserBlade
All Item Table: Configure DT_Item_LaserBlade
All Item Static Data Table: Configure DT_ItemStatic_LaserBlade
At this point, weapon configuration is complete. Run the game, press /, Server settings, and search for the item you created.
Weapon Stats
The combat-related data of the weapon you created can be found in the BP_LaserBlade weapon blueprint. Data related to Durability and crafting can be found in the ItemBP_LaserBlade item blueprint. When you open them, only the modified attributes will be displayed. Since there are many attributes and they are all basically annotated, we won’t go into those here.
Note: If you find that any modifications made to the item configuration are not taking effect, you may still need to right-click on the item blueprint, click Scripted Actions, then click Apply Item Static Data to Table.
Sounds and Animations
In the game, all of the actions associated with weapons have their own corresponding sound effects. The sound effects are configured in the game through data tables. Mods cannot yet modify the data tables of sound effects, so the sound effects that play when damage is dealt cannot be modified at this time. However, the sound effects that play when a weapon is put away or swung can be modified directly in the animation. You need to find these animation resources, copy them to your own mod’s directory, modify the sound effects, then replace the animations configured on the weapon blueprint with these new animations. Of course, you can also simply use any animations you’ve created yourself.
Open BP_LaserBlade, search for “attack anim” (uncheck “Show only modified attributes”)
Right-click on Weapon Data Anim Config to collapse it. The animations we’re looking for are under the Stand Aim Anims Config and Crouch Aim Anims Config categories. These refer to standing attack and crouching attack animations, respectively.
Expand Stand Aim Anims Config.
Attack Anims - Standing attack animations in which the off-hand has nothing equipped
Off Hand Attack Anims - Standing attack animations in which something is equipped in the off-hand
Rider Attack Anims - Same as Attack Anims above, but for when you’re riding a mount
Rider Off Hand Attack Anims - Same as Off Hand Attack Anims above, but for when you’re riding a mount
展开Attack Anims
This is the attack animation when attacking from different directions. Up, down, left, right, diagonal, etc. These will all need to be replaced.
Expand these in order, find the animation montage corresponding to the configured Attack Anim and the animation sequence in the attack part of the montage, then copy them all to your own mod’s directory.
Open the animation sequence. There are two CustomPlaySound_AnimNotify, which correspond to the weapon swinging sound effect and the character shout sound effect that plays when attacking. Delete the swinging sound effect, create a new animation notification that plays a sound effect, and couple to it a sound effect of a laser sword being swung.
Repeat the above actions to modify the sound effects in all of the attack animation sequences.
Modify all animation montages and change the reference to the first half of the attack animation to the animation sequence we copied.
Modify the animation montage in BP_LaserBlade and change it to the montage we copied.
Now play the game, equip your laser sword, and see what the attack sound effect sounds like.
Now let’s modify the animation and sound effects that play when drawing and sheathing your weapon. In BP_LaserBlade, search for “equip”.
Follow similar steps to modify the animation and sound effects that play when drawing and sheathing your weapon.
Crafting Recipes
Crafting and Crafting Recipe configuration methods for weapons, armor, structures, consumable items, etc. are the same. Please refer to the crafting recipe tutorial for more info.
Armor can be difficult to make. Unlike weapon models, which use static meshes, armor uses skeletal meshes. All characters and armor models in the game use a common skeleton so that human actions can be performed, which means that models migrated from other projects cannot be used, as they use different bones.
If you want to make your own armor appearances, you may need to use 3DMAX, Maya, and other tools to create the model and skin, before importing them into the editor. Common bone asset download links will be provided on the page where this tutorial is located.
The following tutorial assumes that you already have a working armor model with universal bones.
File Structure
Configuration Example
Create a Mod
For instructions on creating a mod, please refer to the weapon mod tutorial.
Configure the Armor
First find an armor from the game to copy.
Search for Item_HArmor_Breast_60_1. This is the item blueprint corresponding to the game’s Five-casting Meteoric Armor. Unlike weapons, armor is not divided into the item blueprint and weapon blueprint configurations. For armor, all configurations are located on the item blueprint. Copy this blueprint to your mod’s directory.
Configure the Item Blueprint
Here are the attributes that you need to pay attention to when you open the item blueprint.
Item Icon: This is the item icon.
Item Name: This is the item name.
Description: This is the item description.
Init Max Durable:This is the maximum Durability that armor will have when a player crafts it or it drops. If crafted, the armor’s Durability will be increased based on the player’s Armorer Proficiency.
Level: The Armor Level in Myth of Empires doesn’t restrict players from wearing a piece of armor at certain levels, but is used to calculate proficiency attenuation when crafting.
Before Quench Item: This refers to a pre-quenching item. If a piece of equipment needs to have multiple craftable qualities, players cannot craft that equipment from raw materials alone, they need to also have an Armor Padding item corresponding to that equipment. That item can then be quenched to craft the wearable equipment.
Item Sub Type: Item sub types are based on the armor’s actual type, for instance a light helmet or heavy cuirass.
Armor Data: This refers to all data related to the armor.
Addtive Sound ID: This is the sound produced when moving while wearing this armor. The sound effect is configured in DT_EquipmentSoundSetting. Currently, mods cannot add new data to this table and can only use the existing data.
Attach Info: The skeletal mesh data of the armor. Male and female characters have different skeletal meshes.
Protection EVValue: This is the cold and heat resistances of the armor.
Configure the Armor Padding (pre-quenching item)
In Item_HArmor_Breast_60_1 ‘s Before Quench Item attribute, find
BP_Quality_Item_HArmor_Breast_60_1, then copy it to your mod’s directory.
The main attributes you’ll need to pay attention to are:
Quench Craft Item:The item that will be crafted through quenching
Need Quench:Whether it needs to be quenched or not
Quench Time:How long it takes to quench
Quench Resource Requirement: Different qualities of armor padding have different quenching material requirements
Configure the Item Table
Create a data table in your mod’s directory, row structure ItemRowBase, add two rows, and configure both the item blueprint and the armor padding blueprint. For more details on this step, refer to the weapon mod tutorial.
Configure the Item Static Data Table
Refer to the weapon mod tutorial for more info. All item configurations need to go through this step.
Configure GameData
Open the GameData blueprint that was created when you made your new mod, and configure the following properties:
All Item Table: Configure the item table
All Item Static Data Table: Configure the item static data table
At this point, you’ve finished configuring your armor. Run the game, press the / key, open the server settings, and search for the item that you created.
Crafting Recipes
Crafting and Crafting Recipe configuration methods for weapons, armor, structures, consumable items, etc. are the same. Please refer to the crafting recipe tutorial for more info.
File Structure
Configuration Example
Example: You want to make a chair.
Create a Mod
For instructions on this step, please refer to the weapon mod tutorial.
Configure the Structure
First find a structure from the game to copy.
Search for StructureBP_Decoration_ImperialChair_1. This is a blueprint for a structure in Myth of Empires. Use the Reference Viewer to find the corresponding item blueprint and copy both files to your own mod’s directory, renaming them StructureBP_SoftChair and ItemBP_Structure_SoftChair.
Configure the Structure Blueprint
Open StructureBP_SoftChair. The main attributes you’ll want to pay attention to are:
Static Mesh: Model that will be shown once the structure is placed.
Preview Create Mesh: The preview model that will be shown when placing the structure.
Destroyed Mesh: Model with a “shattering” effect when the structure is dismantled or destroyed
Number Seats: The number of seats
Seat Socket Name: If there are multiple seats, there must be a corresponding number of sockets.The sockets need to be added to the static mesh of the structure.
Passenger Anims Config: Character animation that plays when seated
Consume Item: The item blueprint corresponding to this structure. Materials returned when the structure is demolished are based on the crafting materials configured on this item.
Description Name: The name displayed when the structure is placed in the scene and approached
HP: The structure’s Health
Force Create on Floor: When ticked, this means the structure will need to be placed on a foundation or floor. If unticked, the structure can be placed directly on the ground.
Create Check Box: A detection box used to see whether a structure overlaps with other nearby items during placement. There are other Offset/Scale attributes below, which are used to control the size and position of the detection box. Use the ShowStructureDebugInfo GM command to place it. When you place a structure, you will be able to see the actual size of the structure’s detection box (note that its orientation is currently fixed due to a bug, but the actual orientation will change along with the structure).
Reduction Rate: Building damage reduction ratio
Configure the Item Blueprint
Open ItemBP_Structure_SoftChair. The main attributes you’ll want to pay attention to are:
Item Icon: This is the item icon.
Item Name: This is the item name.
Description: This is the item description.
Max Amount: This is the maximum stackable amount.
Soft Item to Structure: This is the corresponding structure blueprint.
Both blueprints need to be configured in their respective data tables.
Configure the Item Table
Create a new data table in your mod’s directory, row structure ItemRowBase, add a row, and configure the structure’s item blueprint. For more details, refer to the weapon mod tutorial.
Configure the Structure Table
Create a new blueprint class in your mod’s directory and inherit SGGameDataCreateStructureData.
Open this blueprint, add a row of data, and reference StructureBP_SoftChair.
Note: There is a file called BP_SGGameDataCreateStructureData in the official file that is a general list of all items. The contents of this newly-created table in the mod directory will be appended to BP_SGGameDataCreateStructureData when the mod is loaded. Mods cannot directly modify any official game data.
Configure the Item Static Data Table
Refer to the weapon mod tutorial for more info. All item configurations need to go through this step.
Configure GameData
Open the SGGameData blueprint that was created when you made your new mod, and configure the following properties:
All Item Table: Configure the item table
All Item Static Data Table: Configure the item static data table
Create Structure Datas: Configure the structure data table
At this point, you’ve finished configuring your armor. Run the game, press the / key, open the server settings, and search for the item that you created.
Crafting Recipes
Crafting and Crafting Recipe configuration methods for weapons, armor, structures, consumable items, etc. are the same. Please refer to the crafting recipe tutorial for more info.
File Structure
Create a Mod
Click the Mod icon on the far right of the toolbar above the editor to open the Mod tool. Enter the mod’s name, a description, select a cover image, then click Create.
Level mods are different from weapon and structure mods in that you do not need to start with the SGGameData class, but can instead start by creating a new level map.
Note: The main level name and the mod’s name must be identical to be used in Hosted mode.
Making a Level
Create a new level in your new mod directory, or use assets migrated from other projects. For details on making your own levels, please refer to official Unreal tutorials. The following document explains level-related functions specific to Myth of Empires.
Audio Manager
To start off, all levels will require a blueprint called BP_SGAudioManager. This is the audio manager for the game, which records all audio-related data. If you want to use your own audio resources, you can copy this blueprint to your mod’s directory and modify the related audio data within the blueprint.
Spawner
The spawner is used to control the spawning of monsters. It mainly consists of two parts: Npc Spawn Volume and Npc Static Spawn Info. If you need an NPC to patrol along a fixed route, then you will also need SG Road Path.
Note: To use the spawner in a level, you must first enable Generate Npc Enable in the world settings panel.
Search for Npc Spawn Volume and Npc Static Spawn Info in the Place Actors panel and drag them into the level.
Npc Spawn Volume
The Npc Spawner menu is where you can configure the location where NPCs spawn, their patrol behavior, and other information. The main configuration options are:
Static Spawn Volume: When you check this box, the NPCs in this Npc Spawner will perform patrols as well as other actions.
BrushSettings: Used to configure the size of the range box.
Spawn Points: Configures the coordinate points at which NPCs will respawn. After creating a new element, you will be able to see the corresponding actor in the level. The initial position is at the center point of the Spawn Volume. You can select it directly and drag it to the desired position.
Behavior Point Config: Configures NPC behavior, for example standing guard, patrolling, sleeping, etc.
If the Spawner has 10 Spawn Points to spawn 10 monsters, but only two executable behaviors are configured in the Spawner, then only two of the NPCs will execute them, and the NPCs executing that behavior will switch each other out every once in a while based on the time configured in the Change Guard CDTime option.
Add an element and set the Behavior Point Type to Sentry. Note that if you need multiple guard positions, you do not need to add multiple Behavior Point Config elements. Instead, just add multiple Behavior Point Data to this element.
Add elements to Behavior Point Data. The contents that need to be configured here are:
Time Weight: Configure the start time, end time, and weight. Multiple groups can be configured to achieve an effect in which an NPC has an 80% chance of sleeping between 00:00~06:00, and a 20% probability of sleeping between 06:00~24:00.
Transform: The coordinates for executing this behavior. For example, if you want two NPCs to stand guard at a door, you’ll need to add two Behavior Point Data elements to the Sentry behavior and configure their coordinates to the two sides in front of the door.
If the Behavior Point Type is set to Patrol, you’ll need to additionally configure a patrol route.
Add an element to Patrol Behavior Point Data and configure the Time Weight.
Road Path Config: Sets the patrol route. For Road Path Actor, you’ll need to select an SG Road Path class Actor that has already been placed in the level. In Enum Road Path Type, you’ll have 3 path types to choose from:
Random Points will send the NPC to a random point along the route each time.
Round Trip Route will send the NPC to patrol each point along a route. After reaching the final point, they will return point by point.
Closed Loop Route will also send the NPC to patrol point by point along a route, but the route is a closed loop and the NPC will return to the first point after reaching the last one.
Formation Config: You can have multiple NPCs patrol along a route at the same time. They will form a formation based on the configuration here. You will need to configure the relative positions of multiple points in their team in Formation Vectors.
Npc Static Spawn Info
Be careful not to choose the wrong one when placing an actor.
This actor is used to configure the information of the monsters that the Spawner will spawn.
Generally speaking, you will need to configure these settings:
Use All NPCSpawn Datas: Optional; used in conjunction with Npc Spawn Template Class.
Npc Spawn Template Class: Used to configure the blueprint, level, and other information of the monster to be spawned. There is a lot to know here, so we will talk about it in more depth below.
Npc Spawn Volume Datas: This is the Npc Spawn Volume corresponding to the monster spawner’s information. Choose the monster spawner that has been placed in the level.
Default Spawn Volume Floor Tag: Only when the ground beneath the spawn point has the same value as this tag will a spawn take place on this ground. As a result, you will need to add an element to the tags attribute on the level’s ground actor that has the same value here.
Init Npc Total Time: How long it will take the spawner to spawn monsters after loading.
Check Player Distance: Monsters will not spawn if there is a player within the range set here.
Check Structure Distance: Monsters will not spawn if there is a structure within the range set here.
Npc Spawn Template Class
Create a new blueprint and inherit BP_NpcTemplate.
The file content should appear as in the picture above. Generally, you only need to configure the content under NPCSpawn Datas.
Npc Template Classes: Configures the blueprint of the monster to be spawned. You can configure multiple elements and randomly select one. It should be noted that if multiple monster blueprints are configured, the other parameters below with multiple elements need to be configured with the same number of elements.
Npc Override Level: Determines whether a monster’s level will be reset upon spawn. 1 indicates yes (monster level has been configured on the monster blueprint and can be reset here).
Npc Min Level Offset: Resets level to a random value within an interval. This parameter is the minimum value of the level interval.
Npc Max Level Offset: Resets maximum value of the level range.
Npc Spawn Weight: When multiple monster blueprints are configured in Npc Template Classes, the importance of each monster is randomly assigned.
When you need to spawn multiple different monsters in a spawner, you have two implementation options.
Option 1: Configure multiple elements in Npc Template Classes. In this case, they will be randomly spawned in these multiple monster blueprints according to their weight (importance) in Npc Spawn Weight.
Option 2: Configure multiple elemnets in NPCSpawn Datas. In each element’s Npc Template Classes, configure only one monster blueprint, then enable Use All NPCSpawn Datas on the level’s Npc Static Spawn Info. In this case, the monster blueprints configured in each NPCSpawn Datas element will spawn in a specific order and not randomly. For example, if you want a boss to be spawned at Point 5 in the Npc Spawn Volume and the boss’s followers to be spawned at Points 6 and 7, then you would configure the boss’s blueprint on the fifth element of NPC Spawn Datas, and configure the followers on the sixth and seventh elements.
SG_RoadPath
If you need an NPC to carry out patrolling bheavior, you will need to configure a patrol route for it.
Search for sg_roadpath in the Place Actors panel, then drag it into the level and choose this actor in Road Path Actor of the patrol behavior of Npc Spawn Volume.
In this actor’s details panel, the main attributes you will need to pay attention to are Type and Closed Loop.
Type is the shape of the route, for example curves, straight lines, etc. If Closed Loop is checked, then the NPC will resume their route from the beginning upon reaching its end.
After the patrol route actor is placed, two path points will be automatically generated, one at the actor’s location, and one above it (the white cube in the picture). Click to select the path point to adjust its position, or click the arrow button with the red line above to switch the path point.
After selecting a waypoint, hold down the Alt key on the keyboard and drag the transformation arrow to generate a new waypoint. This is a quick way to lay out a patrol route, as you can continuously add new waypoints.
Weather Controller
You can find SGNatureController from the Place Actors panel. This is a weather controller that can be used to control weather effects, day and night effects, and more. There is a lot of content there. You can refer to the configuration in the LargeTerrain_Central_Mainlight level.
Using your Custom Levels
After enabling the level mod you made in the custom server, you need to find LargeTerrain_Central_Main in the start server batch file, replace it with the level name of your level mod, then start the server.
Hosted Mode
After enabling the level mod in Hosted Mode, you will be able to see all the levels provided by this mod in the options.
Note: When making a level mod, the mod name and the main level name must be the same.
File Structure
DT_CraftPerkGroup corresponds to personal recipes, while DT_GuildCraftPerkGroup corresponds to guild recipes. Simply place your recipe into one of these two groups to begin.
Configuration Example
Item Blueprint
Configure these attributes in the item blueprint of the item you wish to craft.
Is Craft In Structure: If this is checked, an item will need to be crafted at a work bench. If this is not checked, the item can be crafted by hand.
Craft in Structure Item: If an item needs to be crafted at a work bench, this is where you can configure which work bench the item will need to be crafted at. You will need to select a work bench’s item blueprint.
Base Craft Resource Requirements: The materials needed to craft an item. You can configure multiple types of materials.
Time to Craft: How long an item takes to craft
Base Craft Experience to Add: How much EXP the player will earn by crafting this item
Craft Add Skill Exp: How much Skill EXP a player will earn by crafting this item
Finish Craft Repair Add Skill Type: Which skill’s EXP is earned
Item Craft Skill Type: Based on which skill’s level crafting time is reduced
If the item needs to be manufactured at a work bench, you also need to add the item blueprint to the to the Default Craft Item in the Inventory Component of the corresponding work bench’s structure blueprint.
(Note that structure blueprint names generally begin with StructureBP, and item blueprint names generally begin with ItemBP)
Note: If you find that your modifications to the item configuration does not take effect, you mayneed to right-click on the item blueprint, click Scripted Actions, then click Apply Item Static Data to Table.
Recipe Blueprint
Create a new blueprint class in your mod’s directory and inherit SGCraftPerk.
Only the following two items need to be configured:
Craft Texture: This is the recipe’s icon. It is usually the icon of the crafted item.
Craft Item: The item that is crafted by the recipe
Recipe Group Blueprint
Create a new blueprint class in your mod’s directory and inherit SGCraftPerkGroup.
This is how the configuration is displayed on the in-game interface for learning crafting recipes. Once configured, this is how it will be shown:

Craft Perk Group Class: Associated recipe group blueprint
Finally, configure this data table to either All Craft Perk Group Table or Guild CraftPerk Group Table in SGGameData in your mod’s directory.
As mentioned in the beginning of this tutorial, the recipe group can be a personal recipe or a guild recipe. The two tables correspond to personal recipes and guild recipes, respectively. The row structures of the tables are the same.
File Structure
DropWrapper Configuration
Wrapper ID: This is the ID that is actually configured into NPC death drops and treasure chest drops. Considering that multiple mod authors cannot effectively perform unified ID management, you may need to use a larger random number.
Count: Drop times
Rate: Drop rate. 1 = 100%
Drop ID: This is the ID related to the DropRule table. A single Wrapper ID can hold multiple rows of data corresponding to different Drop IDs, while each Drop ID can drop one type of item.
DropRule Configuration
Drop ID: Used to link data in the DropWrapper table.
Weight: A Drop ID can have multiple rows of data corresponding to different items, but only one of them will be dropped. The probability of each item dropping is determined based on its weight. The total weight does not need to add up to 100% but is calculated based on the drop weight of a single item divided by the sum of the weights of all items with the same Drop ID.
Item Class: A drop item’s item blueprint
MinNum: Drop items can come in random quantities, this is the minimum random value
MaxNum: Drop items can come in random quantities, this is the maximum random value. If this is set to the same value as MinNum, then the drop quantity will not be random.
Quality: When equipment and other similar items are dropped, you can choose the quality of these items, as the blueprints of equipment and items of different qualities are the same
If you need to drop multiple different items at the same time, you will need to configure multiple rows of data in the DropWrapper table to use the same Wrapper ID and different Drop IDs. If you want to randomly drop only one of multiple items, you will need to use the same Drop ID.
The Rate in the DropWrapper table determines whether something will drop, and the Weight in the DropRule table determines what will be dropped.
Death Drop Table Configuration
In order to ensure that monsters of different levels who are using the same monster blueprint can drop different items, the DropWrapper ID is not immediately configured when the monster dies and the item drops. Instead, a data table needs to be configured on the monster blueprint (row structure NPC Death Drop Item Table) in which the drop data for the different levels is configured.
Type Name: This corresponds to the Death Drop Type Name in the monster blueprint. This makes sure that multiple monster blueprints can share the same table while still distinguishing which monster blueprint the data belongs to. Of course, different monsters can also use the same death Drop Type Name, which would mean that their drops are the same.
Death Drop Item Config:
Min Level: Minimum drop level
Max Level: Maximum drop level; When a monster’s level is within the range between Min Level and Max Level, its drop data will use the following data:
Death Drop Item Data:
Drop Wrapper ID: The drop wrapper level. This is related to Drop Wrapper Table
Drop Wrapper Factor: This is the drop rate. This is usually configured in Drop Wrapper Table. Its default value is 1
Drop Wrapper Weight: This is the drop weight (importance). This is usually configured in Drop Wrapper Table. Its default value is 1
Configuration Example
Let’s say you want to make it so that there is a 100% chance of dropping 100~200 copper coins and a 50% chance of dropping a Meteoric Blade when killing a monster. Meteoric Blades come in White, Green, and Blue qualities, and their respective weights are 10, 5, and 1.
In the mod directory, create two data tables, with their row structures set as DropWrapper and DropRule.
DropWrapper’s configuration
DropRule’s configuration
To create a mod that replaces the player character model, you first need to obtain a skeletal mesh that adapts to the universal skeleton of characters in the Myth of Empires game. This is because characters are able to perform lots of actions, and these actions are distributed across many locations - they cannot be replaced individually. Models can only be bound to the same bones to be able to use these actions. Therefore, you need to be able to use certain 3D modeling software and bind the character model to the bones yourself. The required bones will be provided for download. Since the size of custom models may vary from the game’s default character models, they may not adapt well to official game equipment, so it is recommended that your model itself comes with clothing.
Create a Mod
For instructions on this step, please refer to the weapon mod tutorial.
Once you’ve created the mod, import the skeletal mesh with bound bones into the mod directory.
Configure a Skin
Copy the following files to your mod directory
Content/Blueprints/GameData/Appearance/DT_Appearance
Then open and modify the following content:
HQ Human Mesh: A high-precision character model. Be sure to modify both male and female models to the skeletal mesh you just imported.
Human Mesh: A normal-precision character model. Be sure to modify both male and female models to the skeletal mesh you just imported.
HQ Bra: A high-precision model of the torso’s underwear. Since the size of the model you’re making may differ from the size of the original model, the original model’s underwear may not fit. You can make a copy of the underwear blueprint here, delete the skeleton mesh, and then configure the new underwear blueprint here to effectively hide the underwear; you can also make your own underwear replacement. In addition, you can use the Hide Equipment function described below to hide underwear to obviate the need to change it here.
Bra: See above
HQ Underwear: See above
Underwear: See above
Once configured, open the GameData blueprint, and configure DT_Appearance to the Appearance Data Table.
Switching Skins
Next, you need the character skin from the mod to replace the game’s own character skin. Here are two methods you can use to carry out the replacement operation. You can also try other methods, just refer to the blueprint node used in this method.
Add a switch skin button to the interface
We need to modify the interface blueprint of the equipment panel, and then replace the official files layer by layer according to the reference relationships. Since this is achieved by replacing the official files as opposed to appending them, this means that only one of multiple such mods can take effect.
Copy the following files to your mod directory
Content/Blueprints/UI/N_Inventory/WBP_N_EquipmentPanel
Content/Blueprints/UI/N_Inventory/WBP_N_Inventory
Content/Blueprints/HUD/DT_UISettings
Content/Blueprints/HUD/BP_HUD
Content/Blueprints/GameMode/BP_SGGameModeLogic
Note that the file names mentioned below are the file names of the official files, but the files that will be run are the files you copied. It is best to rename them to make them easier to find.
Open WBP_N_EquipmentPanel and add a button as shown below.
Next open WBP_N_Inventory and find the EquipPanelCanvas control. Add the newly-modified WBP_N_EquipmentPanel as a sub-control under this control, and replace the current EquipPanel control.
Search for WBP_N_EquipmentPanel in the Palette (seen in the upper-left corner of the image above) to find the one you modified. It will be easier to find if you have renamed it.
Drag it to the EquipPanelCanvas level, then change its anchor point, offset, and size to be the same as EquipPanel, then delete the EquipPanel control and rename the new control to EquipPanel.
Next, open DT_UISettings, search for WBP_N_Inventory, and change the Soft Widget Template and Cache Widget Template in this line to the WBP_N_Inventory that you just modified.
Now open BP_HUD, and modify UISettings Data Table to the DT_UISettings you just modified.
Finally, open BP_SGGameModeLogic and change the HUD Class to the BP_HUD you just modified.
The GameMode blueprint does not need to be configured into other blueprints. The program will directly replace the official GameMode blueprint with the mod’s GameMode blueprint.
After reaching this step, run the game and you should be able to see the newly-added button in the equipment interface.
Sometimes, an unresolved problem may occur where the text on the copied WBP_N_Inventory is missing. This is because the localized key has been changed. A fix for this will be issued in the future.
However, clicking this button will currently have no effect.
Add a click event to the button
Open the WBP_N_EquipmentPanel that you just modified and find the button that you added. You will see several events at the bottom of the details panel. Add an On Click event.
The blueprint logic is as follows:
The blueprint nodes from left to right are:
Cast to SGCharacter (its Object is linked to Bind Character)
GetCharacterAppearanceIndex (its ReturnValue is saved as the variable CurrentMeshIndex)
SetCharacterAppearanceIndex (its Index is set to CurrentMeshIndex+1 and then is modulated by 2, so that the value of CurrentMeshIndex can be switched between 0 and 1)
ServerSetCharacterAppearanceIndex
AppearanceIndex is the row number in the DT_Appearance table. The official default data is row 0. The data added by the mod starts from 1, so switching between 0 and 1 will switch between two different skins.
Once you’ve completed this step, run the game and click the button you added to switch between the character’s original skin and the new skin.
Add a shortcut to change skins
Here is another way to switch. You can start here directly without performing the above two steps.
We’re going to set F1 and F2 as shortcut keys to switch between the original skin and the custom skin. This method is relatively simple, but it requires two buttons. In this case, F1 and F2 are just examples - these are shortcut keys for general commands and cannot be used directly.
Copy the following files to your mod’s directory and rename them:
Content/Blueprints/GameMode/BP_SGGameModeLogic
Content/Blueprints/PlayerController/BP_PlayerController
Open BP_SGGameModeLogic and modify Player Controller Class to the copied BP_PlayerController
Open BP_PlayerController and add blueprint logic. This file may appear as a pure data blueprint. Click Open Full Blueprint Editor at the top to see the blueprint chart.
The blueprint logic is as follows:
Once done, run the game and press the F1 and F2 keys to switch between the original skin and the custom skin.
Hiding equipment skins (this is not available yet and is pending the next update of the mod tool)
Due to size differences between custom models and the official model, official equipment skins may not fit custom models very well. In some cases, players may not want the custom skin to be covered up by equipment. Here, we can hide the skin of the equipment model.
In DT_Appearance, scroll to the bottom, find Hidden Appearance Flags, and check the parts that need to be hidden.
This way, when switching to this skin, the equipment in the corresponding parts will be hidden.
Applicable to versions 1.0.4 and above
GModDataEx is designed to replace the use of SGGameData for extended data. SGModDataEx offers more freedom and more advanced features than SGGameData. We recommend using SGModDataEx in future MOD production. However, using SGGameData is still supported.
To create SGModDataEx:
Create a new blueprint class and search for SGModDataEx.
SGModDataEx takes effect only after it is reloaded
Select the SGModDataEx blueprint class. Once you open the blueprint, you will see the following default values:
Additional Components:
SGMod Info Class
Here you can configure a blueprint class with a base class of SGModActor. This will allow the server to create an Actor (referred to as Mod Info Actor) after the server starts. There will be no other way to create an Actor, so the BeginPlay event of this Actor will only be executed when the server starts. You can use blueprints to write some logic to be executed on this Actor, or use it to record data for easy retrieval in UI and other places.
For example, you can use the following blueprint logic to modify the stack quantity of an item.
1. Use GetGameData->GetAllItems to obtain blueprint class references for all items.
2. Iterate through these classes using GetClassDefaultObject to obtain their class default objects. When a new item is created, the default values for all item properties are obtained from the class default object. Therefore, modifying the properties of the class default object will change the corresponding properties of newly created items.
3. Check if the maximum stack quantity of the item is greater than 1. If an item has a maximum stack quantity of 1, it is not intended to be stackable, as each instance of this type of item may have different data.
4. Use the Mod Obj Set Prop Int32 method to set the Max Amount property of the item. Note that you need to cast the item object to SGItem in order to access and set the MaxAmount property, as SGItem is the parent class of all items.
Note: Always Relevant and Replicates need to be enabled in the class default values of Mod Info Actor. Otherwise, they will only be executed on the server, not the client.
SGPlay Actor Addtional Components
This allows you to add a component that will be attached to a structure blueprint. You can use blueprint events in this component to query or modify the properties of the attached structure, such as adding custom recipes to the official Weapon Workbench.
To add an actor component:
Add the component to SGModDataEx.
Class Target Game Play Actor: Set the target game play actor to the desired structure blueprint.
Addtional Component: Choose the additional component to be attached.
Component Tag: Add a component tag for reference.
Component Rule: Set the component rule for network mode, such as client-only, server-only, or server replicated. Normally, you just need to sync the server and you are set.
In the example given above, we added a component to the Weapon Bench. The blueprint event is shown below:
1. “Self” obtains a reference to itself.
2. Retrieve the owner of self. Since this component is attached to the Weapon Bench, the object returned by Get Owner is the Weapon Bench.
3. Next, cast it to SGStructureFunctionCraft, which is the parent class of all crafting stations. You can also cast it to StructureBP_Lowlevel_WeaponBench, which represents the Weapon Bench. Both can achieve the subsequent functionality.
4. Use Get Component by Class on the casted object to retrieve its inventory component, with the Component Class being SGInventory Component.
5. To add the blueprint of a weapon item that can be crafted at the Weapon Bench to the “Default Craft Items” property of the backpack component, you can use the two blueprint nodes “Add Default Craft Items” and “Add Craft Item by Class”. Make sure that the item class you provide for both nodes corresponds to the blueprint of the weapon item you want to add to the crafting station.
Note: Actually, using "Add Craft Item by Class" is enough to render the Weapon Bench able to craft your newly added item. "Add Default Craft Items" is used to add this item to the Default Craft Items property of the crafting station's backpack component. This is not necessary, but if you want to design a universal crafting station that can craft all items from other crafting stations, you would need to retrieve all the items that the crafting station can craft from the Default Craft Items property of all other crafting station backpack components.
After completing the above steps, you can run the game and use the official Weapon Bench to craft the weapon you added with your mod. You don't need to create your own crafting station.
SGCharacter Additional Components
Adding a component to a “Character” type blueprint, you can use the blueprint event to query or modify player or NPC character properties. For example, adding a component to a “BP_Character” and granting it a buff upon logging into the game.
To add an actor component:
Add the component in SGModDataEx
The blueprint event is shown below:
1. "Self" obtains a reference to itself.
2. Retrieve the owner of self. Since this component is attached to BP_Character, the object returned by Get Owner is the player character.
3. Cast To BP_Character.
4. Obtaining the buff component of the object after casting.
5. Use Add Buff to add a buff to the buff component.
Note: If you want to add a buff during the "Event Begin Play" of a character blueprint, you may need to add a delay, because the buff component of the player character may not have been loaded yet, causing the application of the buff to fail.
You can also implement the functionality to add a specific buff when wearing a certain piece of equipment.
On the blueprint of the equipment where you want to add the buff, ad a variable with the SGBufftype, which is a class reference, and configure the buff that you want to add.
In SGModDataEx, add a component to BP_Character.
The blueprint events within the class are as follows:
Get the Inventory Component that’s been attached to the character, then use Bind Event to On Inventory Add Equip to bind a custom event, which will be triggered when a new item is added to the equipment slot.
Use Find Item by Slot to obtain the object of the newly added equipment, cast it to the equipment to which you want to add the buff, and then access its buff variable.
Use AddBuff to add buff.
Similarly, use Bind Event to On Inventory Remove Equip to bind an event for equipment removal, and use Remove buff.
Configuration Extension
In this update, we have introduced a new blueprint interface called "Merge Table" for extending data tables. This functionality allows you to extend almost any data table that you can find in the editor, with the exception of the following examples:
In other words, the configurations listed in the default values of the SGModDataEx class can only be extended here. For everything else, you can use Merge Table.
This feature replaces the use of GameData for extending data tables in previous versions, and it offers a wider range of extensibility.
Example: Merge Table
SGModDataEx provides two events as functional entry points: Event PreInit and Event Preload. Both can be used, with Preload being executed earlier during the game loading phase, and PreInit during the initialization phase. In practical use, there is not much difference between them.
In actual usage, there have been cases where users use PreInit to merge tables, which takes effect on custom single servers but not on larger server groups, while using PreLoad works on both types of custom servers. It is recommended to try using the other event if such an issue occurs.
The Merge Table function requires two configuration parameters: Officetable, which represents the official data table, and Modtable, which represents the additional table in your Mod. This function merges Modtable into Officetable. In some data tables that rely on row names or IDs, using the same row names or IDs as the official data table can override the official configuration data.
The Merge Table function returns a boolean value, which can be used to determine whether the merge was successfully executed. If it cannot be executed successfully, it means that it has been blocked by the program. Generally, only the data tables listed in the default class values mentioned earlier will be blocked from merging.
The Merge Table function not only provides greater flexibility than using GameData for extending data, but also enables special functionalities. For example, by using Get Current Language to retrieve the client language, if the return value contains "zh," it indicates that the client language is Chinese, and thus the Chinese data will be used when merging the tables. If the client language is not Chinese, then the English data will be used when merging the tables. Since the Mod editor currently does not support packaging localized content, if you want your Mod to be available to users in multiple languages, you can temporarily achieve this through this method.
Example: Modifying the web page linked to the in-game encyclopedia (Wiki) interface
In previous versions, replacing the interface through overriding the GameMode was possible but very cumbersome. When multiple mods attempted to override the GameMode, only one could succeed. However, in the new version, modifying the UI will become much simpler.
Search for WBP_Wiki under Content, copy it to your Mod directory, open the blueprint, switch to the Graph view, and modify the New URL in the Load URL panel to the web page you want to link to.
Create a new data table with the row structure SGUISetting. Open the table and add a new entry with the row name "Wiki," and configure the Soft Widget Template with the WBP_Wiki you copied.
In SGModDataEx, use the Merge Table function to merge this data table into the official data table DT_UIsettings. (All interface modifications need to be done through modifying this data table.)
As data is retrieved from DT_UIsettings based on row names, when row names are the same, the program will prioritize the data from the lower rows. This allows for the replacement of official configurations.
Now run the game and open the encyclopedia interface, and you will see that the modifications have been successful.
The OverrideUI in the default values of the SGModDataEx class is also used to replace UI. This functionality was developed before Merge Table, and its function can now be replaced by Merge Table. In future versions, this configuration may be removed, so it is recommended not to use it.
Other new content
Blueprint Functions
In the blueprint event graph, create a new blueprint node, search for "Mod," and you will also see other newly added blueprint functions.
Get All Player Character: You can use this to retrieve all currently online player characters. Note that "self" must be passed as an object.
GetGameData: You can retrieve the current GameData and return its object. You can use Mod Obj Query Prop or Mod Obj Set Prop to query or set some parameters configured in GameData.
GetModInfo: Retrieve SGModActor objects based on tags (attached components in SGMod Info Class configured actors).
GetOwnerSteamID: Retrieve players’ SteamIDs.
Mod Obj Query Prop: Queries the value of a specified property type for an object.
Mod Obj Set Prop: Sets the value of a specified property type for an object. This method has a boolean return value. If the property you want to set is read-only and cannot be set using this method, it will return false.
Editor Asset Export
In previous versions, assets within the editor could not be exported. Starting with this update, exports will be allowed.
The official configuration cannot be saved after modification
In this update, a mechanism has been added to prevent the modification of files under the Projects\SG\Content directory from being saved. This is because some mod configurations are injected into the official configuration at runtime, but the injected data cannot be removed programmatically after the runtime ends. This mechanism is added to prevent such configurations from being repeatedly injected with data.
If you intend to modify the official configuration and still see the effects of the modifications during runtime, it will still be effective, but the changes cannot be saved to the file. Additionally, this mechanism only affects files under the Projects\SG\Content directory and will not impact mod configurations.
If you absolutely need to allow these files to be saved, you can find the configuration in the file Projects\SG\Config\DefaultEditor.ini:
[UnrealEd.ModEditorSettings]
bEnableEditSave=false
Change "false" to "true". However, please note that after changing it to "true", some mod configurations will not be correctly merged into the official configuration when running in the editor, for example, DT_Item and DT_AllItemStaticData.
Attention
When configuring DT_Item, the ItemID did not need to be configured in previous versions, and was renumbered by the program directly from 50000 when the mod was loaded. However, some unexpected bugs appeared during actual use, so we abandoned this scheme.
Now it has been changed to require users to enter their own ItemID. Its value needs to be between 50,000-2,147,483,647 to be effective, and the ItemID of all items cannot be repeated. Simply use a slightly larger random number and try to avoid duplicate Itemids with other users' mods.
The numeric type IDs in other data tables also need to be handled in the same way.
At the same time, the item name and the mod name also should not be duplicated, so please try to add a personal unique mark in the name.
