Created: Jun 17 2024 by Last documented update: Jun 17 2024 by
You can set up different profiles to launch Cyberpunk 2077 from inside Wolvenkit. Via Launch Profiles, you can select what should happen when you press the button.
With a long click on the Install button, you can open a dropdown menu that lets you pick a launch profile:
This will not work in combination withClean after build to save disk space
Installs your mod to your Cyberpunk 2077 directory
Clears the packed directory before building. Not doing this may lead to leftover files in the resource directories or have other side effects, so you'll want to keep this checked.
Clears the packed directory after building/installing/creating a zip file.
Check this to save diskspace, but note that it will disable Create Backup of previous build.
Check this to pack your mod as REDMod rather than as a legacy mod. You don't generally want this, as it can lead to load order issues and increase your users' demands for support.
Launch the game after installing the mod. Without this, the next three options will do nothing.
When you start the game, it will load your last savegame (by timestamp).
This is slightly faster than mods that auto-trigger save-load, as it skips the start-up menu completely.
Loads a specific savegame by name (or tries to).
This is slightly faster than mods that auto-trigger save-load, as it skips the start-up menu completely.
WolvenKit will create the following profiles if it can't find them:
Install
Install as REDMod
Install, Launch, and Load Save
Install and Launch
Launch Game Without Install
Same as the button in the toolbar: Will generate a zip file ready for Nexus upload.
Check this to deploy your mod as REDMod rather than as a legacy mod. You don't generally want this, as it's not compatible with
You can specify additional , which will be merged with those from the settings

The buttons on Wolvenkit's toolbar, and which menu function they call
The toolbar buttons are convenience shortcuts to menu functions. Find the full documentation there.
You can find the toolbar below the Menu.
Like Install, but launches the game afterwards.
You can activate the REDMod entries in the settings under "Interface".
As a rule of thumb, you generally don't want this. Vortex can auto-convert to REDMod on install. Packing your mod in the legacy format will save work for those people who don't want to use REDMod.

This will go through every file in your project, checking if referenced resources are in your project or part of the base game.
If you are using a texture library, you will obviously get false positives here.
The opposite of "Scan project for broken references" — this will check every file in your project and check if it's used by something.
Will give you a list that you can copy to clipboard, or options to move/delete the files.
This feature is experimental, so handle with care!
Will yeet folders without files in them. Works recursively (will also delete empty folder trees).
Will run the Wolvenkit File Validation on every file in your project, and open the log file afterwards. This will generate a lot of duplicate text, but is the best way to find mistakes.
Generates the install-ready structure in your project's packed folder, then creates a zip file.

This feature impacts performance. Navigating the Asset Browser or Project Explorer will be faster if the preview is toggled off or inactive.
Saves the Editor UI layout to the current WolvenKit project, making it persistent across sessions.
If you do this without an open Wolvenkit project, the view will be saved to the default file %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\REDModding\WolvenKit\DockStates.xml
Resets the UI layout to the default from one of the following files (by priority):
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\REDModding\WolvenKit\DockStates.xml
Path\To\Wolvenkit\DockStatesDefault.xml
This can be especially helpful if the layout is bugged or an editor window is unrecoverable.
