This Tool allows you to quickly audit the plugins you have enabled for your project.
Detective Plugin can help to reduce compile times, cook times, and even package sizes.
Why should i audit plugins?
UE4 has an enormous code base. Plugins are add-ons which extend the functionality available to the user. They're great! However, there are also a lot of them. Many you will never use are 'Enabled By Default'
Each plugin has a footprint.
Plugins may have modules. These modules have source files. If a plugin is enabled, its modules may be built for your project. Each can add dozens/scores/hundreds of compile actions to your builds, depending on complexity. These actions may also add to your executable size in your final project.Plugins may also have content. This content can be in the form of lots of Assets. These Assets may be being cooked, and added to your package. Even though you may never use them. If they make it to your package, these may heavily increase the size of your pak file for installed projects. It will also have an impact on the cook time of your project.
What does this tool do?
