Implementing CDT in new mods: Documentation?
Having some difficulty working out how to implement this framework in a new mod. Only documentation I was able to track down was a "Reference Guide" which provides a detailed breakdown of different values in particular scripts but doesn't give any indication regarding how to install the framework in a new mod in the first place.

This is probably obvious to people who are already used to working with the advance end of modding in the Divinity 2 system, but as someone who's only dabbled with this particular game so far it's not at all clear. The Divinity 2 Engine seems to only import content in the form of project dependencies, and this mod doesn't come with a project file. When I followed this guide to opening third party mods as projects[forums.larian.com] and tried to import the CDT directly as a dependency of my mod, it gave me error messages ('can't create working story' or something like that), and when I tried to use this approach to look inside the Luminary mod to find our how the CDT was implemented there, trying to load that project just crashed the engine.

Is there some documentation that exists somewhere about how to go about installing and using this framework? If not, could you give any advice on how to get started?

Thanks for reaching out.

I originally intended for CDT to be used as a framework for modders to create custom damage types or to backport their existing mods to a new custom damage type. The lack of engagement made it not worth to upkeep the reference guide as I continued to develop the features of CDT for my own mods, so I scrubbed the guide from the mod page.

A few days ago, Norbyte's Script Extender added a way to create new damage types via Stats, which removes many of the workarounds CDT is performing. I'll be integrating this into CDT at some point in the near future and it will change a number of CDT systems in significant ways. It's good you asked me now so that this change isn't dropped on you unexpectedly while trying to decode CDT/Luminary on your own 😅.

As for your editor problems, I'm not sure why you are getting working story errors, but I wouldn't be concerned if you don't get the working story in game. The editor is notoriously out of date. Many of CDTs features are only functional outside of the editor anyway due to differences in how the editor and game handle server-client initialization and communication. I can say that Luminary and CDT don't crash for me, so it may be an issue with the process used to create your own project files for CDT and Luminary. We can get this sorted out though so you can have CDT as a dependency within the editor.

I'd be happy to help you get a project started with CDT and answer any other DOS2 modding questions via a more convenient communication platform, like Discord. Steam forums are a bit clunky and I don't check them too frequently. If you're interested, send me a steam friend request.
