[WotC] Create Your Own Class Templates [Old, Unsupported]

Description
Ever wanted to try some simple class editing but don't have the confidence to go through the mod tools? Then this mod is for you. This mod adds 20 blank class templates to the game which you can edit and activate yourself (you don't have to use all 20).

To start of with go to this location on your Hard Drive (after subscribing):
Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1128707437
You might want to make a shortcut to that folder somewhere as you will be coming back to it to make edits.

I've provided a step by step guide on what to do inside the mod folder (The "ReadMe" file) and I've tried to make it as easy as possible but if you don't understand anything please ask. There are also references to all the vanilla and dlc perks you can get in text files for your convenience.

If any of you create any interesting classes post them in the Discussions for this mod page. If we get some good ones I will upload a "Community Class Pack".

Good Luck, Commanders.

COMMON ISSUES:
You can paste your code to me via pastebin links but please check your spelling, commas and brackets are in place. In addition (which is my fault really) please remove any comments ";" and make sure there are no spaces after line breaks (the \\ things) as this makes perks go missing as the game reads the next line (if theres a space or comment) as blank so it skips it.

This mod may be old and unsupported but I couldn't go any further without thanking the mod maker. I learned to make one class from this mod and have since moved on to butchering every single facet of this game to make my own perfect experience. Thanks muchly Richard; I have lost many hours and much hair from what I've learned from your mods.

It's been years since I looked into modding XCOM 2, but your issue may be down to the game needing each vanilla class to be replaced (ie. you need 4 new classes). This is down to the game starting with each of these classes in the first mission and the way classes are spawned for the pool of soldiers in game. Comment out each of the vanilla classes and replace each with a copy of your Grunt class, so you'll have 4 of the same class, but the game will only care that there is a class for class replacement.
There's more details in guide a created.
@darkace77450
Also check the guide. It will explain what you're looking for.
All the best

Hi its been a while since i used this mod, but I tried disabling vanilla classes and replace with a generic grunt class for a more challenging playthrough, but my grunt is not popping up in game also the vanilla classes are still active

I know this mod is unsupported, but I'll ask anyway. Where do I set my custom class' GTS skill? Specifically, I want to give my class the Skirmisher's Parkour ability. Any help you guys can offer is appreciated.

@Kokoa
Have you got this mod, or any of Richards other mods working?
What exactly are you trying to do; is it a replacement class or a new class?
What abilities do you want the class to have and have you researched them?

can anyone help me make a class that's literally just specialist but hacking and sharpshooting...?
I can't even get the bloody mod making thing to work and I feel like I'm just better off giving up TT^TT

@HissingSquid - Check this guide link and make certain that the mods you are taking the abilities from are active in your mod list. Use the Alternative Mod Launcher for the best results.

Can anyone help me with my squaddie abilities? I can't get all of them to show up. For one class i can get 2/3 abilities, and for the other only 1/4.

Here is what I have:
+SoldierRanks=( AbilitySlots=( (AbilityType=(AbilityName="SkirmisherStrike")),\\
(AbilityType=(AbilityName="LW2WotC_DenseSmoke")),\\
(AbilityType=(AbilityName="LaunchGrenade", ApplyToWeaponSlot=eInvSlot_SecondaryWeapon)), \\
),\\

+SoldierRanks=( AbilitySlots=( (AbilityType=(AbilityName="Shredder", ApplyToWeaponSlot=eInvSlot_PrimaryWeapon)),\\
(AbilityType=(AbilityName="LW2WotC_AreaSuppression", ApplyToWeaponSlot=eInvSlot_PrimaryWeapon)),\\
(AbilityType=(AbilityName="Suppression", ApplyToWeaponSlot=eInvSlot_PrimaryWeapon)),\\
(AbilityType=(AbilityName="PistolStandardShot", ApplyToWeaponSlot=eInvSlot_SecondaryWeapon))\\
),\\
