SDK Programming - New LW2 Class Mod
Hi Friend,

I would like to make a class mod for LW2. Have a few questions:

To start out, I would like to Copy+Paste an existing class, like the Ranger for example, and then start duplicating/re-skining and changing its abilities as well as adding entirely new ones.

My first problem may be that I don't know how to make LW2 a required mod for my mod to work. Is that done through Steam or in the SDK itself?

How do I essentially make a duplicate of an existing class so that I can start turning that copy into a new class?

Thank you for your help!

Have you seen the wiki?
https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/wiki/index

This could be worth a look too:

Note that I've never installed the SDK...

That's a helpful tool Dragon, many thanks.
Hit the next snag however - Link to forum having a mod require DLC

I'm trying to follow this 2 year old tutorial and it says to download UE Explorer, so I did. But this .rar file won't unpack and I can open it with ModBuddy but I don't know where to input what they're saying at the link.

Does anyone know how I can get UE Explorer to open or unpack or how to Command this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eliot\UE Explorer\UE Explorer.exe" "E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XComGame\DLC\DLC_3\Script\DLC_3.u" -console -export=scripts

So I've found the answer for making LW2 required and integrating it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/comments/5oz2n5/how_to_compile_metamods_with_long_war_2/

Now I'd like to know how to make a copy of a class

and

how to make a new Perk from scratch, if anyone has any input or links to other threads, thank you.

Here's a post to the 10 new classes I'll be working on for LW2... https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/1128707437/1744483505473343477/

Thank you in advance.
