UE Modding complication

[humBurgers]

A complication of majority of UE 4 and a bit of 5 once the tools have been update for support.
https://github.com/Buckminsterfullerene02/UE-Modding-Tools#asset-editors-parsers--explorers

 

The categories available are

• Asset Editors, Parsers & Explorers - allows you to check what are the contents in the pak files and provide the ability to choose what mod you want.
• Pak file unpackers and repackers - Necessary to even start UE modding in the first place
• Textures, Animations & Modelling - The common and large portion of modding as you are editing files and not making entirely new systems that will affect the game more than a simple model or texture swap.
  
  and much more that I can't list because it will make this post too long and uninteresting

I don't mean to grammar nazi. And if you check my post history you will see that I never do.

English is not my native language, so who am I to 'grammarnazi'.

 

But this title is really confusing. I thought there was some new development in UE modding that complicated things, so as general gesture of good faith and help I offer the following information to you:

 

Complication - When a matter arises that complicates things.

Compilation - When you put together (compile) a set of good things.
