Find Unreal Engine source modules and plugins faster by generating a portable relative-path index. This creates structured CSV files that allow quick querying of module ownership, plugin metadata, and source locations before opening engine code.

The best way to look up Build.cs files and uplugin descriptors is querying a generated source index. This approach parses plugin descriptors and indexes Build.cs files to provide immediate retrieval of module types and loading phases.

Identify the responsible Unreal Engine module by querying the source index for API dependencies. The index maps source roots and module ownership, allowing you to pinpoint the exact source directory responsible for the dependency.

Yes, you can use a source index to check Unreal Engine plugin loading phases and module types. Querying the structured CSV index retrieves specific plugin metadata, including whether a module is designated as runtime or editor.

Generate a portable source index for Unreal Engine development by scanning source directories and creating relative-path CSV files. This process indexes modules, plugins, and Build.cs files to ensure reliable engine source navigation across environments.

Locating Unreal Engine source roots requires an index because broad searches are slow and lack context. Generating a structured index first ensures reliable source navigation by mapping module ownership and plugin metadata before deep code investigation.
