Custom class no longer showing up in game.

[InsufferableSmartypants]

I was fiddling around with the tool set and made a class mod about a month after the game came out. I mostly just looked at an existing class and tried to copy it with help from a couple of tutorials on the subject. Anyhow, I was floored and very happy when it worked.

 

Now it does not. I'm not sure why. I didn't change anything - it just stopped appearing in game.

 

This is what I built it from:

Are you certain that mod is selected on main entry screen?

[InsufferableSmartypants]

100% certain.

[InsufferableSmartypants]

While I'm on the subject, this is the 2nd class - this one has never worked for me.

I've uploaded the first file to the workshop (hidden) and downloaded it from there. Ancient Assassin class doesn't show up by name, but appears as a blank nameless class box. If I try to assign it in character pool, the right weapons are assigned.

 

The second class doesn't show up in any capacity when the same steps were followed.

[InsufferableSmartypants]

Anybody at all have access to a working guide on how to build a class?

[InsufferableSmartypants]

Just going to keep on posting here.

 

Now the class shows up in game while I'm in debugging mode, but the name of the class does not appear in the CP menu when I try to assign a class. I can select it (It's a blank class box with no words in it), and the characters outfit the correct weapons - just no reference to the class name.

[davidlallen]

If you have a blank text box, check your localization file. In your post #1 above, the class definition line appears to be missing from XComGame.int.

[InsufferableSmartypants]

Thank you Davidlallen! That was HUGE!

 

I'd been looking at it for so long that I couldn't see it.
