19 ==============================================================================
20 *unreal-introduction*
21 Introduction
22
23 Vim-unreal is a plugin that lets you work with game codebases that use Unreal
24 Engine. In most cases, you should be able to launch, say, `gvim` from
25 somewhere inside your codebase, and it should "just work". You'll be able to
26 run commands such as |UnrealGenerateProjectFiles| and |UnrealBuild|. It is
27 recommended to install vim-dispatch for running these operations in the
28 background.
29
30 If you install the vim-crosoft plugin, vim-unreal will also automatically set
31 the root Visual Studio solution as the active solution. This will bring
32 better file-listing support for file-listers supported by vim-crosoft (FZF is
33 recommended), clangd language server support (YouCompleteMe is recommended),
34 and so on. For supporting other infrastructures, refer to the vim-crosoft
35 plugin or other appropriate plugin.
36
37 ==============================================================================
38 *unreal-configuration*
39 Configuration
40
41 *g:unreal_trace*
42 g:unreal_trace
43 Enables debugging information.
44 Default: `0`
45
46 *g:unreal_branch_dir_marker*
47 g:unreal_branch_dir_marker
48 How vim-unreal detects the root directory of an Unreal
49 codebase branch. This should be a glob pattern that matches
50 something when a given directory is an Unreal codebase.
51 Default: `*.uprojectdirs`
52
53 *g:unreal_branch_dir_finder*
54 g:unreal_branch_dir_finder
55 The name of a function that lets vim-unreal find the list
56 of projects in a branch.
57 Default: `''`
58
59 The default finder looks for a marker defined by the glob
60 pattern |g:unreal_branch_dir_marker|.
61
62 *g:unreal_auto_find_project*
63 g:unreal_auto_find_project
64 Whether vim-unreal should try to detect an Unreal branch
65 on startup and find an appropriate project to set.
66 Vim-unreal saves the last set project of each known branch
67 so that after restarting Vim it can restore the same project
68 as last time.
69 Default: `0`
70
71 *g:unreal_auto_build_modules*
72 g:unreal_auto_build_modules
73 Dictionary of Unreal modules to always automatically build
74 along with the current project's main module when running
75 the |UnrealBuild| command and associated commands.
76 The dictionary should map a module's name with a list of
77 build options (if any).
78 Default:
79 `{"ShaderCompileWorker": ["-Quiet"]}`
80
81 *g:unreal_auto_build_options*
82 g:unreal_auto_build_options
83 A list of default build options to pass to UnrealBuildTool
84 when running the |UnrealBuild| command and associated
85 commands.
86 Default:
87 `["-WaitMutex"]`
88
89 *g:unreal_auto_generate_compilation_database*
90 let g:unreal_auto_generate_compilation_database
91 Whether to automatically generate the clang compilation
92 database when running |UnrealGenerateProjectFiles|.
93 See |UnrealGenerateCompilationDatabase| for more
94 information.
95
96 *g:unreal_platforms*
97 g:unreal_platforms
98 Known list of platforms.
99 Mainly used for auto-completion.
100 Default:
101 `["Win32", "Win64", "HoloLens", "Mac", "XboxOne", "PS4",`
102 ` "IOS", "Android", "HTML5", "Linux", "AllDesktop",`
103 ` "TVOS", "Switch"]`
104
105 *g:unreal_config_states*
106 g:unreal_config_states
107 Known list of configuration states.
108 Mainly used for auto-completion.
109 Default:
110 `["Debug", "DebugGame", "Development", "Shipping",`
111 ` "Test"]`
112
113 *g:unreal_config_targets*
114 g:unreal_config_targets
115 Known list of configuration targets.
116 Mainly used for auto-completion.
117 Default:
118 `["", "Editor", "Client", "Server"]`
119
120 *g:unreal_build_options*
121 g:unreal_build_options
122 Known list of UnrealBuildTool options.
123 Mainly used for auto-completion.
124 Default:
125 `["-DisableUnity", "-ForceUnity"]`
126
127 ==============================================================================
128 *unreal-commands*
129 Commands
130
131 *:UnrealFindProject*
132 :UnrealFindProject
133 Uses the current working directory (see |getcwd()|) to
134 detect an Unreal codebase branch and a default project to
135 set (see |UnrealSetBranchDir| and |UnrealSetProject|).
136
137 *:UnrealSetBranchDir*
138 :UnrealSetBranchDir {dir}
139 Sets the current branch to the given directory.
140
141 *:UnrealSetProject*
142 :UnrealSetProject {projectname}
143 Sets the current project to the one matching the given name.
144
145 *:UnrealSetPlatform*
146 :UnrealSetPlatform {platform}
147 Sets the current platform.
148
149 *:UnrealSetConfig*
150 :UnrealSetConfig {config}
151 Sets the current configuration.
152 Vim-unreal will attempt to parse the state and target from
153 the given configuration name.
154
155 *:UnrealGenerateProjectFiles*
156 :UnrealGenerateProjectFiles
157 Regenerates the Visual Studio project files.
158
159 *:UnrealBuild*
160 :UnrealBuild {project} {platform} {config}
161 Builds the currently set project using the currently set
162 platform and configuration.
163 If the project, platform, and/or configuration are provided
164 in the command invocation, use those instead of the
165 currently set ones.
166 If the vim-dispatch plugin is installed, vim-unreal will
167 favour using |:Make| instead of |:make|, so that the build
168 job is run in the background.
169
170 *:UnrealRebuild*
171 :UnrealRebuild {project} {platform} {config}
172 Like |:UnrealBuild|, but does a full rebuild.
173
174 *:UnrealClean*
175 :UnrealClean {project} {platform} {config}
176 Like |:UnrealBuild|, but cleans the build artifacts instead.
177
178 *:UnrealGenerateCompilationDatabase*
179 :UnrealGenerateCompilationDatabase
180 Generates a clang compilation database for use with language
181 server plugins like YouCompleteMe.
182 If the vim-dispatch plugin is installed, vim-unreal will
183 favour using |:Make| instead of |:make|, so that the build
184 job is run in the background.
185
186 *:UnrealReloadBranchProjects*
187 :UnrealReloadBranchProjects
188 Reloads the branch's projects. This is only needed if the
189 codebase was updated without restarting Vim and vim-unreal's
190 knowledge of the projects was outdated.
191
192 ==============================================================================
193 *unreal-internals*
194 Internals
195
196 *g:unreal_branch_projects*
197 g:unreal_branch_projects
198 A dictionary mapping known projects in the current branch
199 with their properties loaded from their JSON `uproject` file.
200 If these files have changed, you can reload this with the
201 |UnrealReloadBranchProjects| command.
202
203 *g:unreal_branch_dir*
204 g:unreal_branch_dir
205 The currently set Unreal codebase root directory.
206 It can be set with the |UnrealSetBranchDir| command.
207
208 *g:unreal_project*
209 g:unreal_project
210 The currently set Unreal project's name.
211 It can be set with the |UnrealSetProject| command.
212

216 It can be set with the |UnrealSetPlatform| command.
217
218 *g:unreal_config_state*
219 g:unreal_config_state
220 The currently set Unreal configuration state.
221 It can be set with the |UnrealSetConfig| command.
222
223 *g:unreal_config_target*
224 g:unreal_config_target
225 The currently set Unreal configuration target.
226 It can be set with the |UnrealSetConfig| command.
