- Navigate to your game installation directory ( \Windrose\R5\Binaries\Win64 )
- Place the UE4ss folder, and "dwmapi.dll" file into your Windrose\R5\Binaries\Win64 folder
- Open the "ue4ss" folder you just copied into Windrose, and within it edit the "UE4SS-settings.ini" file

Main features
This script monitors loot actors and directly manipulates their movement physics to control how they behave when thrown preventing them from being "cast out" from the drop location, and causing them to simply "drop to the ground" below where they spawn into the world.
This behavior modification changes drops from:
- Containers
- Players
- Mobs
- Entities such as Trees, bushes, ships, etc.
Requirements
UE4SS
Server Installation:
To install onto your server you'd place this into the same directories as you would for the client.
Clients do NOT need to have this installed if the server does - HOWEVER, there is a sync time between client and server whereas single-player worlds would not experience this. That means, on occasion it will "throw" the lootActor, then pull it back to the spawn point, and then drop it.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT DROPS ON SHIPS
Items that are dropped on ships from containers, and player storage will maintain their current world position when they drop - This means they "move" because the ship is moving, so don't drop things on ships!!!
