Core Framework

Overview

The core framework is the set of base actors that host all ModularInventoryPlus components. They extend the chat/SocketIO base classes and implement common component interfaces so any system can resolve components from the right owner without hard dependencies.

All paths below are relative to Plugins/ModularInventoryPlus/Source/ModularInventoryPlus/.

Detailed Pages

Each base actor has its own documentation page:

• GameMode — JWT login, player spawning, session lifecycle, Agones integration.
• GameState — Map data, world level, NPC management, respawn rules.
• PlayerController — 45+ components, loading flow, death state, channel switching.
• PlayerState — ASC, attribute sets, player info, party, mob kill events.
• PlayerCharacter — Pawn, camera, equipment meshes, death/respawn, combat interface.

Other Framework Actors

Class	Purpose
AMIPClientAuthGameMode	Minimal GameMode for client-side auth flow
AMIPDefaultServerGameMode	Default dedicated server GameMode
AMIPCharSelectionGameMode	Character selection screen GameMode
AMIPWaitSessionInstanceTravelGameMode	Waiting room while server allocates a session
AMIPCharSelectionCharacter	Character used on the selection screen
AMIPWorldSettings	Extends MIPChatWithSIOWorldSettings for world config
AMIPPlayerCameraManager	Custom camera manager
AMIPDefaultPlayerStart	Default spawn point; GameMode caches these for new players

Common Interfaces

All framework actors implement interfaces so systems can resolve components without casting to a concrete class:

Interface	Implemented by	Purpose
IMIPCommonGameModeComponentsInterface	GameMode	Get pickup spawner, quest manager, party state
IMIPCommonGameStateComponentsInterface	GameState	Get NPC manager, world info
IMIPCommonComponentsInterface	PlayerController	Get any of 30+ PC components by type
IMIPCommonPlayerStateComponentsInterface	PlayerState	Get level, class, GE managers
IAbilitySystemInterface	PC, PS, Pawn	Resolve the Ability System Component
ICharacterClassTagInterface	PC	Get the player's class gameplay tag
