Engram configuration script...

[Xenithar]

I posted an old version of this script a few years ago (2019?) to share with other admins my method of discovering engrams so I can block newer ones on older servers. For example, I could block the entire tek tier and everything from newer maps and have an original Island map for greater challenge. This script will find all built-in engrams as well as any for any mods you specify and generate a text-file for every core map and mod with the hiding code in-place. You simply copy the lines containing the engrams/items you want blocked on your server to your servers game.ini file and you're done. This is a simple batch file so while it will not work on a Linux server, you CAN run it on your Windows game client to get the code and all, then copy/paste to your server as needed.
