Request: ARK DevKit / ShooterGameEditor-targeted build support

[pityonother]

Hi, thanks for making NodeToCode. The plugin looks very useful for sharing and analyzing Blueprint graphs.

I tried using NodeToCode inside the ARK: Survival Ascended DevKit, but the plugin is detected and then fails to load.

Environment

• Tool: ARK: Survival Ascended DevKit
• Engine version shown by ARK DevKit: UE 5.5.4
• CompatibleChangelist: 37670630
• Platform: Windows 64-bit
• NodeToCode release build: 1.2.7

What happens

ARK DevKit shows a plugin load failure for the NodeToCode module.

The installed NodeToCode release contains binaries like:

UnrealEditor-NodeToCode.dll
UnrealEditor.modules

However, ARK DevKit appears to use a custom editor target:

ShooterGameEditor

Working ARK DevKit editor plugins seem to use binaries like:

ShooterGameEditor-PluginName.dll
ShooterGameEditor.modules

Investigation

I checked the NodeToCode DLL dependencies with dumpbin /dependents.

The release DLL depends on regular Unreal Editor binaries such as:

UnrealEditor-Core.dll
UnrealEditor-UnrealEd.dll

But ARK DevKit uses target-specific binaries such as:

ShooterGameEditor-Core.dll
ShooterGameEditor-UnrealEd.dll

So this does not look like a simple BuildId mismatch or a missing file. It looks like the plugin binary was built for the normal UnrealEditor target, while ARK DevKit needs a ShooterGameEditor target build.

I also tried rebuilding NodeToCode locally against ARK DevKit using ShooterGameEditor, but this ARK DevKit installation does not appear to include the full engine source/build rules needed for third-party C++ plugin compilation. UnrealBuildTool fails before compilation with:

Precompiled rules assembly Engine\Intermediate\Build\BuildRules\UE5Rules.dll does not exist.

Request / Question

Would it be possible to provide a ShooterGameEditor-targeted build of NodeToCode for ARK DevKit?

Expected output would be something like:

ShooterGameEditor-NodeToCode.dll
ShooterGameEditor.modules

Or is ARK DevKit currently unsupported because it requires a custom editor target/build environment?

I understand this may be outside normal Unreal Engine Marketplace/plugin support, but I wanted to ask because NodeToCode would be especially useful for ARK DevKit Blueprint analysis.

Thanks!
