ðŸ–Ĩïļ Plugin Interface

The Ludus plugin runs as a chat panel inside the Unreal Editor. This page describes each interface element, where it is, and what it does.

Chat access from the Level Editor toolbar​

Open the Ludus chat from the Level Editor toolbar. A dedicated Ludus button/icon toggles the chat panel. Dock the panel like any other Unreal Editor tab.

Status indicator​

The status indicator sits at the top of the panel next to the Ludus logo. It reports service availability: operational, minor issues, major issues, outage, and maintenance. Click it to open status.ludusengine.com for detailed uptime reports.

Chat mode selector​

The mode selector sets how Ludus handles a request. It offers three tiers, from lighter and faster to fuller agentic work. Pick the tier per request. See Modes.

Prompt improvement​

The chat input includes a prompt-improvement option. Click the wand icon in the input field to rewrite your prompt so Ludus can produce better results. After the rewrite, you can still edit the prompt before sending it. Basic user prompt before improvement.

Approval prompts​

When Ludus is ready to apply a staged change, an approval prompt appears with a countdown. Accept or reject before the countdown ends. See Approvals & Safety.

Plan panel and to-do checklist​

For multi-step work, Ludus shows a plan panel. Review the plan and accept, reject, or revise it before Ludus starts. Once running, a live to-do checklist tracks progress, marking each step as it completes.

When Ludus runs sub-agents in parallel, it shows them in a horizontal carousel. Each entry represents one sub-agent and its current work. Scroll the carousel to review each sub-agent.

Asset Library entry point​

The Asset Library entry point opens the library of generated assets from the plugin panel. Browse and reuse assets Ludus has generated.

Project indexing overlay​

Ludus indexes the project so it can read and understand it. During indexing, an overlay shows progress percentage, estimated time, and files remaining. Pause and resume indexing from the overlay.

  • Reset the chat.
  • Pause and resume operations.
  • Capture a bug-report screenshot.
  • Rate a response with thumbs up or thumbs down.
  • Edit a previously sent message.

Chat history and new chat​
