Wolvenkit's settings and what they mean
Summary
Last documented update: Jun 17 2024 by mana vortex (Wolvenkit 8.14 Nightly)
This page documents Wolvenkit's settings menu, and what the individual entries mean.
TL;DR
You must make sure that your Game Executable Path is set. Wolvenkit will not work otherwise.
Game Executable Path (.exe)
Path to the game's executable file on your hard drive, e.g.
C:\Games\Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64\Cyberpunk2077.exe
Depot Path
Defaults to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\REDModding\WolvenKit\Depot
A folder where Wolvenkit can store all its clutter. NOT your game directory.
Settings: Overview
For a textual explanation of the seettings, see the next section
Cyberpunk
Game Executable Path
You must set this.
The path to your Cyberpunk2077.exe , inside The Cyberpunk 2077 Game Directory under bin\x64.
Launch Command
Optional
The path to your Cyberpunk2077.exe , inside The Cyberpunk 2077 Game Directory. Will be auto-generated from Game Executable Path.
You can also put the path to the REDLauncher here, if you want that (but why would you?)
Launch Options
Optional
Arguments for the executable. You can find a list in the yellow wiki on the Launch parameters page.
Depot Path
You should set this, or Wolvenkit will default to your AppSettings directory. Since this is on the same drive as your Windows install, it can clutter up your harddrive.
The Depot Path is a WolvenKit system folder for caching game assets. It serves as a cache for mesh exports with materials. WolvenKit builds a repository of visual assets within the Depot for usage with external applications such as MLSetupBuilder or Blender.
By default, it is set to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\REDModding\WolvenKit\Depot, but you can pick any location. It does not need to be on an SSD, although Wolvenkit might load faster if it is.
Learn more about the Material exports here.
Additional Mod Directory
Optional
A directory for .archive mods outside of your game directory, for example for resources that you want to load for multiple projects. Mods inside this folder will show up in the Mod Browser after your installed mods.
