Verse for macOS is a Visual Studio Code extension designed to improve compatibility and fix key issues related to Epic Games' Verse programming language on macOS. With a few essential tweaks, you can run the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) using CrossOver on Mac.

👉 For setup instructions, check out:

• Reddit Tutorial
• Epic Games Community Guide

Please read this carefully to ensure the extension works as expected.

• If the extension doesn’t seem to work, or you encounter an issue, check the Frequently Asked Questions before reaching out.
• Ensure UEFN and the Epic Games official extensions are up to date — especially after each update.
• You must have Visual Studio Code (Windows version) installed inside your UEFN bottle. See the FAQ for cleanup instructions (some folders may need to be deleted).
• This extension only works on macOS. Don’t attempt to use it on Windows — UEFN already handles this natively on that bloated platform.

• brew must be installed:

  /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

• code command (VS Code CLI) must be installed:

  brew install --cask visual-studio-code

• The Verse .vsix extension from Epic Games must be installed inside the UEFN bottle.

⚠ Important: This extension assumes specific default paths. Modifying workspace structures, assets, or digests may cause unexpected behavior. If you're unsure, avoid altering those files.

Ensure your environment resembles the following layout:

• Fortnite Projects (auto-generated by UEFN): /Users/<yourname>/Documents/Fortnite Projects/

• Fortnite Install Folder (via Heroic/CrossOver): /Users/<yourname>/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/<yourbottlename>/drive_c/Program Files/Fortnite

• Verse Project Files (auto-generated by UEFN): /Users/<yourname>/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/<yourbottlename>/drive_c/users/crossover/AppData/Local/UnrealEditorFortnite/Saved/VerseProject/

• ✅ Automatically configures the Verse extension to be macOS-compatible.
• ✅ Detects your UEFN CrossOver bottle and prompts you if multiple bottles are found.
• ✅ Fixes the "Verse" button in UEFN to correctly launch VS Code on macOS with the current project.
• ✅ Option to remove the default Verse dark theme and apply your own custom theme.
