Custom Server Button

A UE4SS mod for Abiotic Factor that adds a customizable button to the main menu for quickly connecting to a specific server.

What it does

Adds a button to the main menu that connects to a server you specify. Useful for quickly joining a friend's server, your own dedicated server, or any server you play on regularly.

The button is fully customizable - you can set the text, icon, and color to whatever you want.

Installation

1. Install UE4SS if you haven't already
2. Extract this mod folder to Abiotic Factor/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/Mods/
3. Make sure enabled.txt exists in the mod folder
4. Edit config.lua with your server details

Configuration

Edit config.lua to set your server connection and customize the button appearance.

Server Connection

IP = "192.168.1.100"  -- Server IP or hostname
Port = 7777           -- Server port (default: 7777)
Password = ""         -- Server password (leave empty if none)

Works with both LAN servers and internet servers.

Button Customization

ButtonText = "My Server"  -- Text displayed on the button
Icon = "icon_hackingdevice"  -- Icon name (see icon-list.txt for options)

Leave Icon as an empty string ("") if you don't want an icon.

Button Color

TextColor = {
    R = 42,
    G = 255,
    B = 45
}

RGB values are 0-255. Default is bright green.
