RedirectCheck

RedirectCheck is an editor-only Unreal Engine plugin by ECal Studios that helps you find, review, and clean redirectors before packaging, submitting, migrating, or sharing your project.

Redirectors are normal during Unreal Engine development. They are created when assets are moved or renamed so old references can continue to work. The problem is that they are easy to forget, and over time they can make a project feel messy, harder to maintain, and less professional before release.

RedirectCheck gives you a clean dashboard, a health score, clear severity labels, cleanup preview, folder breakdowns, and exportable reports so you can handle redirectors with confidence.

Save before cleanup

RedirectCheck uses Unreal Engine's own redirector cleanup workflow, but cleanup still modifies package files on disk. Save your project and use source control or a backup before running cleanup.

What RedirectCheck helps with

  • Find redirectors

    Scan your project with Unreal's Asset Registry and quickly see how many redirectors exist.

  • Redirect Health Score

    Understand the state of your project with a simple 0–100 health score.

  • Clear priority levels

    Review redirectors using severity labels like Info, Review, Cleanup Recommended, and Action Needed.

  • Preview before cleanup

    Run a required preview step before cleanup is allowed, so you can confirm the scope first.

  • Folder impact view

    See which folders are affected and where the project is messiest.

  • Markdown and CSV reports

    Export local reports for QA, release preparation, cleanup records, or team review.
