A grammatical parser for Unreal Engine 5 configuration files
Project description
UE5Config
A config file parsing solution for Unreal 5.
A grammatical parsing library for Unreal Engine 5 configuration files, born out of a need to be able to make sense of PalWorld dedicated server configuration files.
NOTICES
This code tries to parse UE5 configuration data correctly, but due to its immaturity, it may get it wrong. You are responsible for checking output prior to usage. You risk losing data if you've not made backups. Please file a bug report if something is incorrect.
While I have a UE license, I have not based this library off of any Unreal Engine code. The syntax was made by eyeballing PalWorld and Satisfactory configuration files and slapping around pyparsing until it worked.
This code is by no means the most efficient way of doing things, either.
Installation
Please note that this software is designed to be used by your own scripts or application and doesn't have its own front end.
Release builds of this software is available on pypi as ue5config
.

How to use
from pathlib import Path
from ue5config import UE5Config
cfg = UE5Config()
cfg.read_file((Path("samples") / "DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini"))
# Dump to JSON
cfg.write_json(Path("samples") / "DefaultPalWorldSettings.json", indent=2)
# Dump to YAML - requires ruamel.yaml package
cfg.write_yaml(Path("samples") / "DefaultPalWorldSettings.yml")
# Dump to TOML - requires toml package
cfg.write_toml(Path("samples") / "DefaultPalWorldSettings.toml")
## Mess around
# Get the main section
palworld_section = cfg.get_or_create("/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings")
# Get the option all the settings are crammed into for some reason
optsettings = palworld_section["OptionSettings"]
# Change stuff
optsettings["ServerName"] = "Grugworld"
optsettings["ServerPlayerMaxNum"] = 64
optsettings["PlayerStomachDecreaceRate"] = 0.01
optsettings["ServerDescription"] = "Brought to you by the Eggman Empire"
# NOTE: If the value is something like All (no quotes), it's just an unquoted string.
optsettings["DeathPenalty"] = "All"
## Saving
cfg.write_file(Path("samples") / "MyServerSettings.ini")
