Configuration Toolkit
Configuration Toolkit helps Unreal Engine projects read, write, check, and manage .ini config files without hand-building config paths or custom serialization. It supports wildcard Blueprint values, native config arrays, soft object and class paths, encrypted strings, section and key cleanup, file existence checks, and controlled flush workflows.
Supported Platforms
Documentation Files
Installation
Install the plugin, enable it in Unreal Engine, configure core settings, and allow generated config sections to save.
Settings
Review every project setting, recommended defaults, soft reference behavior, automatic flush, and AES key requirements.
Blueprint Usage
Use Blueprint nodes to write values, read values, manage arrays, store soft references, encrypt strings, and clean config data.
C++ Usage
Call the safe helper APIs directly from C++ and understand when to use Unreal's native GConfig system.
Troubleshooting
Debug common failures with LogConfigToolkit, return bools, generated config paths, hard reference reads, arrays, and encrypted strings.
Main Concepts
Config Toolkit writes through Unreal's GConfig system. Bare file names such as Game or MyConfig resolve to generated platform config files instead of hard-coded disk paths.
In editor on Windows, generated config files are commonly written under:
Saved/Config/WindowsEditor/In packaged Windows builds, they are commonly written under:
Saved/Config/Windows/The plugin does not synchronously load assets or classes when reading config values. Asset and class config data is stored as soft reference paths. When you need a loaded asset or class, read into a Soft Object Reference or Soft Class Reference, then use Unreal's async loading workflow.
