SMEI

Satisfactory Modding Environment Installer. Automatically sets up the Satisfactory Modding Environment, and dependencies, for you. Work in progress.

Usage

As with the regular Satisfactory modding development environment, only Windows is supported.

1. Set up a github account linked as an Epic Games Developer Account by following the modding documentation.
2. Sign up for a WWise account
3. Download the latest version of SMEI from the Releases page.

Installing a Modding Environment

1. Open a powershell terminal in the folder you downloaded the installer to.
2. Run .\SMEI install --target <path to where you want the project to live> and follow its prompts

Integrating Wwise

1. Have an existing modding project set up
2. Open a powershell terminal in the folder you downloaded the installer to.
3. Run .\SMEI integrate --target <path to existing starer project> and follow its prompts

Configuring

Configuration interface is WIP. You can change some behaviors, such as skipping UE install or Visual Studio install, by editing %APPDATA%\SMEI\config.yaml.

Troubleshooting

• Temporary files and config files are located in %APPDATA%\SMEI\ and %LOCALAPPDATA%\SMEI\.
• If you forget your password, delete the directories mentioned above to reset it.

Development

Dependencies

• Go 1.19
• IDE of Choice. Goland or VSCode suggested.

Building

go build

Will produce SMEI.exe in the repo root directory.

Consider enabling the smei-developer-mode config option in %APPDATA%\SMEI\config.yaml to skip the password entry process.

With this setting enabled you can quickly test changes via the following example Powershell command:

go build; ./smei install --target="C:\Git\SMEI_TEST"

Testing

Testing is somewhat troublesome since the installer is meant to be run on a fresh system. The best way to test is to run the installer on a VM, or a fresh install of Windows.
