Azworai Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 As the title; I'm working on a class mod and have two abilities with 'broken' templates, and was looking to see if I could figure out WHY they were broken... but can't figure out where they are located.
davidlallen Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Most of the abilities aren't in ini files, they are in uc files. See X2Ability_<class>AbilitySet.uc. You may want to see the guide in my sticky thread related to creating new classes, if you haven't read it already. Edited February 18, 2016 by davidlallen
Azworai Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 Pretty sure that's the one I was following before I ran into issue. How much more complex is fiddling with the uc stuff over ini?
davidlallen Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I am a professional programmer already, so I may not be the best judge. If you aren't a programmer and don't want to learn, it will be a little difficult to get started. OTOH it is a great way to learn programming. I found the rifleman mod on workshop to be pretty easy to pick apart, and I learned the sdk from the guide on my page. Look at its ini file changes, and you will find new ability names; then search in the uc files for where these abilities are defined. If it is all greek to you, that may tell you something.
Azworai Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 I can't seem to figure out where the uc files are located... which folder are they in?
davidlallen Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Install the sdk, then look in: ...steamapps\common\XCOM 2 SDK\Development\SrcOrig\XComGame
Azworai Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 Ahhh... the files are in the SDK folders... that explains why I couldn't locate them. Thanks. I looked at the shadow classes uc, and while it doesn't look entirely greek, I think that's a tad beyond me, so I suppose my confusion now is, "Why did those two skills become broken templates?" Maybe I can gather that from the uc files, I'll look but not feeling optimistic. Was following the guide you referenced on creating a class, and tried adding 'Death from Above', and 'Steady Hands' came up with broken/blank templates when debugging.
