uproject is the game's project file. They've basically given you the blueprints and the factory.

Is this basically the equivalent of unintentionally open-sourcing your game? Or what does this enable?

I trust the internet will do nothing creepy at all with easy access to these high quality models of muscular anime dudes.

This game could be the next gift that keeps on giving, and not exactly because it's amazing, right?

If it's actually the whole project, that's more than just modding possibilities, thats having open access to the whole game.

It's the file Unreal uses to open a project but it just lists things like the project description and plugin dependencies the editor needs to open the project. unless the entire project folder is also included that's not super useful.

It's basically the game in an uncompiled form

Not an expert and I've never used UE, but I'm pretty sure project files just hold project information. Like where all the source files and such are located.

For example, if I start writing a program in C++, then give you the cproject file that Visual Studio saves, you won't be able to do much with it. You might know that the program uses a file called physics.cpp, but you won't have the actual file physics.cpp to look at, change, or modify. You wouldn't be able to compile my project.

Unless the developers of Jump Force included all the source files as well, I imagine the uproject file is largely useless by itself.

No, this is the project container file. It's a file that contains a list of all the parts of a project in an easy to handle format, but not the actual files themselves.

A sorta comparison would be like how a .m3u playlist file would contain a list of all the songs in a playlist, but not the actual songs themselves. This goes a slight bit further with regards to UE4 thanks to their visual editor, but it's not really enough to get, really, anything of use. At best, you might be able to figure out some shader logic.

Nope.

right, it's basically a JSON file, but with a slightly different format. It'll tell you, like, the name of the source code and the name of the project and things like that, but isn't the actual source or anything.

It's basically a metadata container for the project. Not the actual data.

If it's just the uproject file without any of the actual asset files or anything like that it won't mean that much. You'll open it up and you can see all sorts of references to objects and files that aren't there, so I'm sure they can find some info. But it's not like the whole game is in there.

yeah this might not be anything.
Other mods seem to be progressing though, there are people doing basic texture swaps right now.
