I'm at a loss!

Heya, trying to figure out the modding stuff since I want to start modding VT2 considering I have some modelling and game development background.

I'm having trouble on finding info on where to start though. People keep talking about modding SDK, but I can't seem to find how to get my hands on it. So far I've managed to download the mod branch and get mods to run with the 2 that's currently up on this site.

Both of them are just a single .file and didn't really help me. Is there any guides tog get started yet or can someone just tell me how to get going. Rest of the stuff, like scripting and various models and texture rework is things I can figure out myself.

That thread mentions Mod SDK and how it was updated with compilers for the mods but is not of any real help. It's like everyone talks like everyone already got the stuff needed. Or I'm just blind when going through the threads.

Thanks in advance.

There unfortunately aren't so many official tools yet. I know the guys in that discord use another version of stingray (the engine vermintide uses) to get some kind of asset authoring tools. The plan is to set up the full tool chain for modders too, but right now it's basically a compiler to compile assets and a tool for uploading mods to the workshop.

The next big step that's coming will be when we start giving full access to all source assets (which is plodding along), from there at least you'll be able to look at how existing stuff is set up and copy/mod them.

After this works and if nothing else more urgent pops up, the idea is to start working on making the full toolchain available.

The SDK tools are private at the moment, but Robin is giving out keys. If none of the keys at the last post of this discussion are available, leave a post there asking if you can get a key.

As for how to actually use the SDK, that's a bit more difficult to explain. We have a community-run modders' group on Discord that could help answer some of your questions. There's an invite in the readme of the mod tools if you're interested; otherwise you could continue to ask your questions here too.

What discord are you refering to when it comes to "that discord"?

The modders' community-run Discord group. There's an invite link in the readme of the mod tools, I believe. Here's a link to an older version of Stingray that might be useful: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/stingray/troubleshooting/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-C2-AE-stingray-112470-product-update.html

Thanks, tried 1.2 but it wouldn't give me trial access... which 1.9 did. Hopefully this one works better.

Readme doesn't include a discord link, sadly.

To work with Vermintide 2, you should switch to "vermintide2_1.0.8" beta branch in SDK tool. This will also contain readme with discord invitation link in the end of the file. The default branch is SDK for vt1.

Damn, didn't even think of that... thanks a lot.
