Setting up the development environment

ModBuddy is the mod development tool used for xcom 2 mods. Follow the tutorial provided here https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/wiki/firsttime . There are a number of other fantastic resources available here https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/wiki/index

To start working on the codebase:

• Fork and clone this repository.
• Run git remote add upstream https://github.com/X2LongWarOfTheChosen/LongWar2AbilitiesForWotC.git.
• Verify that everything is set up properly by typing git remote -v which should produce output the same as the following but with your GitHub username in place:

  origin   https://github.com/YourUsername/LongWar2AbilitiesForWotC.git (fetch)
  origin   https://github.com/YourUsername/LongWar2AbilitiesForWotC.git (push)
  upstream https://github.com/X2LongWarOfTheChosen/LongWar2AbilitiesForWotC.git (fetch)

Contributing

Due to the large number of people working on this project, it is important to ensure consistent coding standards. If you don't want your changes to get stuck in PR hell, please do all of the following

When contributing, please

Use the development branch

The development branch will be the primary branch that work is done from. If you are completing an issue, commit to either development, or a new branch off of development.

Master branch is reservered for releases

Do not commit to the Master branch. Ever. It is reservered for Steam Workshop releases only. When a release is to be performed, merge the work that is to be included in the release to Master, and then continue future work off of the development branch.

One change at a time

If you start working on unrelated tickets, there should be a unique PR for each of them. In order to do this it's recommended that you create a unique branch off the head of dev for each ticket you work on. When that is done submit a PR to the X2LongWarOfTheChosen repo, comparing your branch to the master branch.

Follow coding style

• use the code style that is generally used in the XCOM 2 codebase:
  • Use spaces, not tabs
  • Use new lines for braces
  • Use appropriate spacing, watch out whitespace changes on unrelated lines
  • Use braces even for one-line if/else bodies

The following code should illustrate all of this:

    static function CompleteStrategyFromTacticalTransfer()
    {
        local XComOnlineEventMgr EventManager;
        local array<X2DownloadableContentInfo> DLCInfos;
        local int i;

        UpdateSkyranger();
        CleanupProxyVips();
        ProcessMissionResults();
        SquadTacticalToStrategyTransfer();

        EventManager = `ONLINEEVENTMGR;
        DLCInfos = EventManager.GetDLCInfos(false);
        for (i = 0; i < DLCInfos.Length; ++i)
        {
            DLCInfos[i].OnPostMission();
        }
    }

Troubleshooting

For any troubleshooting direct your questions to any of the senior devs on the discord.
