How can we help?

Click Sign in on the top-right and continue with email or Google. Accounts are created instantly — you can browse the Blueprint repository right away.

Open Settings → Profile to add a username, bio, avatar, and social links. Your public profile lives at /u/your-username.

The header links to Browse, New Blueprint, Pricing, and your profile menu. From the profile menu you can jump to your Dashboard, Creator Dashboard (if you publish), Settings, and Billing.

The Dashboard at /dashboard is your personal hub — Overview, My Blueprints, My Collections, Upvotes, Followers, Following, and Recent Activity, with a global dashboard search.

The Creator Dashboard at /creator-dashboard is for publishing and monetization — creator analytics, payout method, monthly earnings, and payout ledger. It's separate from your personal Dashboard.

Free members can browse the entire Blueprint repository, publish Free Blueprints, follow creators, upvote, keep a wishlist, and download a limited number of Premium Blueprints each month. Blueprint Collections and publishing Premium Blueprints require NodeVault Pro.

NodeVault Pro unlocks unlimited Premium Blueprint downloads, Blueprint Collection downloads, the ability to publish Premium Blueprints, creator earnings on qualifying downloads, and full creator analytics.

Open /pricing, pick monthly ($9.99) or yearly ($99.99, ~17% off), and complete Stripe Checkout. Pro benefits activate as soon as the payment confirms.

Open Settings → Billing → Manage subscription to open the Stripe portal in a new tab. You can change plans, update your card, or cancel. Canceled subscriptions keep Pro until the current period ends — a Resume button appears while it's scheduled to cancel.

Monthly plans renew every month, yearly plans every 12 months, on the same day you upgraded. Failed renewals go into a short retry window (past_due) and email you before Pro is removed.

Payments are processed by Stripe. Update card details, view invoices, and download receipts from the Stripe billing portal via Settings → Billing.

A Subscription Key is a code that grants NodeVault Pro for a fixed duration (for example 1 month, 3 months, or 1 year). Admins generate keys and distribute them for giveaways, partnerships, and support.

Open Settings → Billing or the Redeem Key card in your Library, paste the key, and confirm. Pro activates immediately.

If you're already Pro, redeeming a key adds its full duration to the end of your current period. If you're not Pro, the key starts a new Pro period from today.

You can stack multiple keys — each one extends your access. Every redemption is logged in your account so you can see when Pro expires.

Click New Blueprint in the header. In Unreal, right-click your nodes → Copy, then paste the T3D text into the Blueprint text field. NodeVault renders the node graph preview automatically — no image uploads.

Open your Blueprint and click Edit. You can update the title, description, tags, Unreal version, node text, prerequisites, documentation, privacy, graph layout, and — if you're a Pro subscriber — Premium status.

Blueprints publish immediately once you hit Publish. Public Blueprints appear in Browse; private Blueprints are visible only to you.

Free Blueprints can be downloaded by anyone. Premium Blueprints can only be downloaded by NodeVault Pro subscribers and generate creator earnings on qualifying downloads.

Only active NodeVault Pro subscribers can publish Premium Blueprints or convert a Free Blueprint into a Premium one. Free members see the Premium option locked with an Upgrade to Pro prompt.

Every Blueprint has a Private toggle. Private Blueprints are hidden from Browse, search, follower feeds, and creator profiles — only you can view them.

Editing a Blueprint updates the live version immediately. The graph preview regenerates from the new node text so downloaders always get the latest version.

Open a Blueprint and click Copy Blueprint. Paste (Ctrl+V) inside an Unreal Blueprint graph — the nodes are re-created exactly, including any saved layout and reroute knots. Premium Blueprints require Pro.

Your Dashboard → My Blueprints shows everything you've published, downloaded, or wishlisted, with sorting, filtering, and category views.

When you publish or edit, add Prerequisites (required plugins, assets, engine features, or other Blueprints) so downloaders know what they need first. The Documentation section takes rich setup notes and file attachments, stored in a private docs bucket and served through secure links on the Blueprint page.

NodeVault supports Unreal Engine 4.27 through 5.8. Pick the version you authored the nodes in — downloaders can filter Browse by engine version to find compatible Blueprints.

Signed-out visitors can browse Browse, open any public Blueprint, and explore the interactive node graph preview. Copying, downloading, and viewing the raw node text require signing in — after you sign in, NodeVault returns you to the exact Blueprint (and raw-text view) you were on.

Open any Blueprint and use Add to Collection to start a new Collection or add to an existing one. Give it a name, description, and public or private visibility.

From a Collection page you can rename it, reorder items, remove Blueprints, and toggle public/private. Everything you manage syncs to Dashboard → My Collections.

NodeVault Pro subscribers can download an entire Collection in one action. Free members can open the Collection and copy each Blueprint individually.

Bulk-downloading a curated Collection is a Pro benefit — it rewards curators and helps fund the payout pool. Browsing public Collections is free for everyone.

Add or remove Blueprints at any time. Followers of a public Collection will see updates the next time they open it.

Every signed-in member is a Creator the moment they publish. Publishing Free Blueprints is open to everyone; publishing Premium Blueprints requires NodeVault Pro.

The Creator Dashboard at /creator-dashboard shows creator analytics, payout method, current month earnings, and the payout ledger. Separate from your personal Dashboard.

See downloads, views, and follower trends across your Blueprints and Collections. Use it to understand which content earns and which needs polish.

Earnings from qualifying downloads accrue in a monthly ledger. On the 5th of every month NodeVault issues payouts for the prior month and emails you an invoice with the itemized breakdown plus year-to-date totals.

A qualifying download is a download of your Premium Blueprint or Blueprint Collection by an active NodeVault Pro subscriber. Blueprint downloads earn $0.50 and Collection downloads earn $1.25, subject to anti-fraud checks.

The ledger snapshots at month-end. Anything marked pending for the previous month is paid on the 5th. Fraud-flagged accounts and downloads are excluded before payout.

You need a configured payout method and a positive pending balance. Accounts flagged for suspicious activity are held for review.

Open Creator Dashboard → Payout Method and click Set Up Payouts to start Stripe Connect Express onboarding. Stripe collects your identity, bank, and tax details directly; NodeVault only stores your account status. The card shows Not started, Pending, Restricted, or Ready — you must reach Ready before the 5th to be paid that cycle.

Payouts are fully automated: on the 5th of every month at 08:00 UTC NodeVault transfers the prior month's pending balance to your connected Stripe account and emails an invoice with the itemized breakdown and year-to-date total. Transfers use idempotency keys, so a retried run never pays twice.

Payouts run at 08:00 UTC on the 5th. If you set up a payout method after month-end, earnings roll to the next cycle. Contact billing support if a payout invoice looks wrong.

The Dashboard at /dashboard gives you a snapshot of your library, social stats, and recent activity, with sidebar navigation for each section and a global search.

Everything you've published, downloaded, or saved. Sort and filter by category, Unreal version, or upvote count.

Every Blueprint Collection you own or have saved. Open one to manage its Blueprints and visibility.

The list of Blueprints and Collections you've upvoted, so you can find and re-download them quickly.

Everyone following you. Follow them back with a click.

Creators you follow — unfollow from here or open their profiles. New Blueprints from these creators show up in your Following feed on the home page.

A timeline of your latest downloads, upvotes, and follows.

On any profile, click Follow. New public Blueprints from that creator appear in your Following feed on the home page and in Dashboard → Following.

See who's following you in Dashboard → Followers. You can follow back with one click.

Every Blueprint has upvote and downvote buttons. Your vote is stored per Blueprint and can be changed or cleared at any time — the score shown is the net of upvotes minus downvotes.

Collections can also be upvoted. Upvoted Collections appear in Dashboard → Upvotes.

Browse can be sorted by Newest, Top (net score), Trending (recent vote velocity), and Controversial (heavy voting in both directions). Creators can see the same vote breakdown for their own content in the Creator Dashboard.

Bookmark any Blueprint or Collection to your wishlist for later. Wishlisted items are always available in your Library and Dashboard.

The bell icon in the header opens your notifications inbox at /notifications — new followers, comments, replies, reviews, moderation updates, and support replies, with unread counts and mark-as-read. Email delivery for each category is controlled in Settings → Notifications.

NodeVault Pro is billed through Stripe. Checkout, invoices, and the customer portal are all Stripe-native, so your card details stay on Stripe's servers.

Manage your subscription, invoices, card, and tax info from Settings → Billing → Manage subscription. The Stripe portal opens in a new tab.

If a renewal fails, your subscription moves to past_due while Stripe retries the card. We'll email you — update the card in the Stripe portal to keep Pro active.

Refunds are reviewed case by case for exceptional situations. If a refund is issued, your Pro access ends at that time.

Every payment generates a Stripe receipt emailed to you and downloadable from the billing portal.

NodeVault never sees or stores your full card details. All payments run over TLS and use Stripe's PCI-DSS Level 1 infrastructure.

Update email, password, and locale from Settings → Account. Email changes require confirmation via a link sent to the new address.

Change your username, avatar, bio, and social links (Twitter, GitHub, Discord, YouTube) in Settings → Profile.

Settings is organized into tabs — Account, Profile, Notifications, Appearance, Privacy, Security, Billing, and Connections. Under Notifications, choose which emails you want: new followers, comments and replies, reviews, moderation updates, payout summaries, and product news.

Control profile visibility and whether people can see your download activity or Collections in Settings → Privacy. Turning off public profile hides your profile details from other members. You can also mark individual Blueprints or Collections private.

Reset your password, view active sessions, and review recent security events in Settings → Security. Passwords are checked against known breach lists (HIBP).

Settings → Connections will let you link GitHub, Google, Discord, Epic Games, and YouTube to your NodeVault profile. All providers are currently marked Available soon and are shown greyed out until the integrations launch.

Make sure you're signed in, on a supported browser, and — for Premium Blueprints — that your NodeVault Pro subscription is active. Paste inside an Unreal Blueprint graph using Ctrl+V.

Bulk Collection downloads require an active NodeVault Pro subscription. Free members can still open the Collection and copy each Blueprint individually.

The Premium Blueprint toggle is locked for Free members. Upgrade to NodeVault Pro from /pricing to unlock Premium publishing. Existing Premium Blueprints stay published if your subscription expires, but remain read-only for premium status changes.

If your Pro status doesn't update after payment or a key redemption, wait ~30 seconds (the app polls for status) and refresh. If it still doesn't update, contact billing support.

Update your card in the Stripe portal via Settings → Billing. If the portal won't open, disable pop-up blockers — it opens in a new tab.

Keys are one-time use. If a key is rejected, confirm it hasn't already been redeemed. If you're already Pro, the key extends your current period rather than starting a new one.

Confirm your payout method is set in Creator Dashboard → Payout Method before the 5th. Fraud-flagged downloads and accounts are excluded from payouts. Reach out to billing support with your payout invoice if numbers look off.

The Blueprint text must start with Begin Object … from Unreal's copy-nodes action. If publish fails, check the title length, tag count, and that the T3D text isn't empty.

You can only report the same item once, and there's a short cooldown between reports to prevent spam. If a report was closed as No action, moderators reviewed it and found no policy violation — reply to the linked support ticket with more evidence if you disagree.

Comments and reviews can be held automatically when the moderation system flags them, or hidden if the content owner or a moderator removes them. Check your notifications for a moderation message, and refresh the page — your own pending items are always visible to you.

If your Stripe Connect account is Pending or Restricted on the 5th, the payout is skipped and the balance rolls into the next cycle. Open Creator Dashboard → Payout Method and finish the Stripe steps (usually ID or bank verification) to reach Ready.

Layout edits only apply after you click Save in the Blueprint editor. Card thumbnails refresh right after saving; if you still see the old arrangement, hard-refresh the page to clear the cached image.

Every Blueprint renders as an interactive, Unreal-styled node graph built from its T3D text — real node titles, pin colors, and execution vs. data wires. Pan, zoom, and fit-to-view are available to everyone, signed in or not.

Double-click a wire to drop a reroute knot at that point; double-click a knot to remove it. Knots snap to the grid and keep clean horizontal spacing so segments stay readable, just like Unreal's reroute nodes.

Only the Blueprint's owner can rearrange the graph. Open your Blueprint → Edit, drag nodes and knots into place, then Save. The saved layout becomes what everyone sees on the Blueprint page and on card thumbnails across Browse, profiles, and Collections.

The editor keeps a history of layout changes. Use the undo/redo buttons in the editor toolbar or Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y to revert a mistake before saving.

Yes. When you copy or download a Blueprint, NodeVault rewrites the node positions in the T3D text and injects real K2Node_Knot entries for your reroute knots, so pasting into Unreal reproduces the exact arrangement you saved.

Signed-in members can comment on any public Blueprint or Collection. Comments are threaded — reply to a comment to keep the discussion together — and you can edit or delete your own at any time.

Reviews combine a star rating with written feedback about how well the Blueprint worked in your project. You can leave one review per Blueprint or Collection and update it later as the content changes.

Average rating and review count appear on the Blueprint page and in Browse results, and they feed the ranking signals alongside votes and downloads. Consistently poor ratings can also raise a moderation review.

Creators are notified of new comments and reviews and can reply directly in the thread. Replies notify the original author so conversations don't get lost.

Keep feedback constructive and on-topic. Spam, harassment, piracy links, and self-promotion are removed. Use the report action on a comment to flag it for moderators.

The Forum at /forum is the official community hub — ask Blueprint questions, share techniques, show off projects, and talk about NodeVault itself. It's open to every signed-in member.

Threads are organized into categories, each with its own page. Pick the category that matches your topic so the right people find it.

Open a category and click New Post. Give it a clear title and body — posts support Markdown for formatting, lists, links, and code blocks, which is handy for pasting node snippets.

Reply inline on any thread. You'll be notified of new replies to threads you started or participated in, and can jump back to them from your notifications inbox.

Be respectful, keep posts on-topic, and don't share pirated assets or marketplace content you don't own. Moderators can lock, hide, or remove threads and replies, and repeat offenders can lose posting access.

Every Blueprint and Collection page has a Report button, and profiles can be reported from the profile menu. Choose a category, add details, and submit — reports are private and the author never sees who filed them.

There are 14 categories covering stolen or pirated content, licensing violations, malicious or broken code, spam, misleading listings, harassment, adult content, impersonation, and more. Pick the closest match so it routes to the right reviewer.

You can attach screenshots or files as evidence. Evidence is stored privately and is only visible to moderators handling the case.

You can report a given item once, and there is a rate limit on how many reports you can file in a short window. This keeps the queue usable and prevents brigading.

Reports open a moderation case. NodeVault also flags content automatically using a weighted risk score built from reports, negative reviews, and downvote patterns. Moderators can hide, unpublish, or restore content and can suspend repeat offenders.

Dashboard → My Reports lists everything you've reported with its current status. You're notified when a case is resolved.

You'll receive a notification explaining what was removed and why. To appeal, submit a support ticket from the Contact section of this page and reference the content — a moderator will re-review.

Use the Contact our team section at the bottom of this page. Pick the channel that fits — general, ticket, bug, content, creator, or billing — describe the issue, and submit.

Every ticket gets a unique reference ID. Keep it handy — quoting it in follow-ups lets the team find your case instantly.

You get an email receipt when a ticket is created and another whenever staff reply. Emails come from notify.nodevault.dev — add it to your contacts so replies don't land in spam.

Open Dashboard → Support to see all your tickets, their status, and the full message thread. Reply directly in the thread to keep everything in one place.

Billing tickets are answered within about 24 hours; general, creator, content, and ticket channels within 24–48 hours. Bug reports are triaged as soon as possible.

NodeVault ships a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so AI assistants that support MCP — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others — can work with your NodeVault account directly instead of you copying things back and forth.

Connected assistants can search Blueprints, fetch a Blueprint's full node text, list your own Blueprints and Collections, and create a new Blueprint from node text with a title, description, tags, and Unreal version.

The agent acts as you and is limited to what your account can already do — it can't see other people's private Blueprints or touch billing. Blueprints created by an agent default to private, so you can review before publishing.

The assistant must supply valid Unreal node text. NodeVault doesn't generate node graphs from plain English, and node text written by a model isn't validated against the engine before saving — always paste-test in Unreal before making it public.
