An unreal engine plugin with an embedded HTTP server to do your bidding.
Install this plugin like any other UE4 plugin. Once this is done, the plugin will host a HTTP server at port 18820.
All these endpoints will trigger the subsequent functionality in the engine. There is never a request body expected, and only the 200 status code indicates a success.
Play the current scene in the editor viewport and activate the server pawn.
TODO: WIP - does not work.
Stop the current scene in the editor viewport.
Shutdown the unreal engine (and stop any running game).
List all assets to the UE4 console that are registered with the UE4 AssetRegistry.
Stub to invoke empty debug function for random experiments.
Post body is expected to be a string. The body is passed directly to the UE4 editor console where it is Exec'd.
Example: Run a python script in the scripts dir called foo.py with arguments a, b and 42:
echo "py.exec_args foo.py a b 42" | http POST localhost:18820/ue4/command
Example: Run a random UE4 engine console command:
echo "showfps" | http POST localhost:18820/ue4/command
Post body is expected to be a comma-separated-string. The first element is the path in the local file-system to the .pak file we wish to mount, and the second argument is the mount path.
Eample: Mount /tmp/foo.pak into /Content/Import/02843684:
echo /tmp/foo.pak,/Content/Import/02843684 | http POST localhost:18820/ue4/loadpak
echo "py.exec_args import_fbx.py import_shapenet /tmp/shapenet/ 00000001" | http POST localhost:18820/ue4/command
echo "py.exec_args import_fbx.py make_pak /Game/Import/ /tmp/output.pak" | http POST localhost:18820/ue4/command
echo "/tmp/output.pak,/Content/Import/02843684" | http POST localhost:18820/ue4/loadpak
