Directive Utilities 2.0.2

2.0.2 fixes found edge cases

• Array Slice and Get Distinct now support in-place output. Array mutator pins are mutable, and index helpers handle int32 limits.
• Weighted selection ignores non-finite weights. Duration, filename, delay, and movement helpers handle invalid or extreme inputs safely.
• Gameplay Tag registry queries no longer claim worker-thread safety.
• Regression tests and strict include coverage now cover UE 5.6, 5.7, and 5.8.

Directive Utilities 2.0.1

Directive Utilities 2.0.1 fixes the Blueprint Append map node and restores runtime Blueprint compatibility.

Fixed

• Connecting either input map resolves both wildcard pins.
• Maps with different key or value types cannot connect.
• Existing Append nodes update when their Blueprint loads.
• Runtime Blueprints no longer report the custom node as editor-only.

Directive Utilities 2.0

Directive Utilities 2.0 replaces UDCore 1.x and supports Unreal Engine 5.6 through 5.8.

Before upgrading

The plugin folder, modules, C++ classes, types, and Blueprint categories were renamed. Blueprint-only projects migrate through the bundled Core Redirects. C++ projects must update module names, include paths, symbols, and API macros.

Read the 2.0 migration guide before replacing UDCore.

Changes

• Added Blueprint libraries for arrays, maps, math, regex, save games, text, and Gameplay Tags.
• Added Enhanced Input helpers and async actions for delays, asset loading, traces, and navigation.
• Added editor asset tools and more actor filters, viewport controls, material operations, and mesh queries.
• Fixed save-slot validation, weighted selection, regex edge cases, input mapping failures, async completion, and editor filter behavior.
• Added automation coverage for the public function libraries and supported engine versions.
• Packaged builds now include the plugin documentation, changelog, license, and required config files.

SortStringArray and GetSortedStringArray are deprecated because Unreal Engine 5.6 and newer include Sort String Array.

See the changelog for the full list.
