Easy Integration
ScarOptions can be added in two ways: Built-in menu: Use the Open Scar Options Menu node and leave the Menu Class empty. Custom menu: Create a Widget Blueprint, reparent it to ScarOptionsMenuWidget, and customize the layout in UMG. The system automatically builds missing controls, while allowing you to take full control over the UI when needed.
Customization
All UI elements can be styled or replaced using standard UMG. You can provide your own sliders, dropdowns, buttons, tabs, labels, and key-binding rows while ScarOptions handles the underlying settings logic.
Additional Tools
Includes Blueprint nodes for settings access, events for detecting changes, automatic saving, resetting, hardware benchmarking, and editor tools for testing and managing player settings.
Compatibility
Supports Unreal Engine 5.2 through 5.8. Each engine version is provided as a separate source package.
