README

Windrose_UE4SS

Windrose UE4SS community overlay for unreal-shimloader. Mods should depend on this package rather than on Thunderstore-unreal_shimloader directly.

What this package does:

Bundles an updated version of UE4SS (built 2026-03-31). The package ships ue4ss.dll, the bundled stock mods (ConsoleCommandsMod, BPModLoaderMod, etc.), and the supporting Lua helpers.
Forces UE4SS into UE 5.6 mode and sets the right offsets. Windrose ships on Unreal Engine 5.6, which UE4SS's auto-detection fails on. Without this override UE4SS aborts at startup with Failed to find EngineVersion. The bundled UE4SS-settings.ini has [EngineVersionOverride] MajorVersion = 5 / MinorVersion = 6 and [Hooks] FExecVTableOffsetInLocalPlayer = 0x28. Windrose-specific overrides are flagged with ; Windrose tweak.
Removes the bundled CheatManagerEnablerMod. A .shim-removed tombstone file prompts shimloader to mask the directory.

Manual installation

Install an experimental build per the RE-UE4SS install guide, then copy this package's overlay/UE4SS-settings.ini, replacing the one it ships with.

How it works

Every file at relative path X is registered as an override of Win64/X, taking precedence over the standard mod-dir/pak-dir/cfg-dir mappings. A file named .shim-removed registers its parent directory as masked, which short-circuits all file detours and filters the directory out of UE4SS's Mods/* enumeration.
