Permanent INI changes
- Permanent INI changes can be made using Drogean's Custom INI kit.
- Instructions included.
- Download link
This allows to create a mod for the game that reads a custom engine .ini
file you can put any console/config tweak into and have it read by the game in just a few clicks.
Outside of using the UE4 console enabler and inputting commands on every startup, this is the only known way to make them permanent.[7]
Miscellaneous Mods
- LemonHaze has compiled a series of mods at the ShenmueDojo.
- Instructions included.
- Download link
These include:
- Classic Camera Mod
- No Energy drain while running
- No Walk Only triggers
