3.1 Github​

    new repo

You only need to follow step 3.1 OR 3.2

3.2 Rentry.co​

danger

Rentry is using CloudFlare. The anti-bot-check of CloudFlare blocks the mod from downloading the json. If you experience errors while using rentry.co i suggest trying GitHub

  • Goto rentry.co
  • Paste your Json and click on the Go button in the bottom left
    go
  • IMPORTANT: Save the edit code which is displayed at the top
    editcode
  • Scroll to the bottom of the site and click the Export button
  • Select Raw
    export
  • Copy the URL and paste it in the GameUserSettings.ini
    url
[WBUI2]
JsonURL="the-raw-link"

3.2.1 Editing the file​

  • Enter the URL without the /raw at the end in your browser
  • Scroll down to the bottom and click the Edit button
  • Do your changes, enter the edit code you saved earlier and hit save
    edit

So think the issue most are having is due to cloudflare. After a lot of testing, Any domain i've used that is using proxying via cloudflare will give errors when trying to load the Json file. This includes pastebin since they use cloudflare, whereas github does not. There may be something to do with where a server is located that could allow it to pull from a Cloudflare protected domain, however, it seems its not always the case and most likley has something to do with Anti-bot settings being used.

Basically, use a domain NOT proxied by cloudflare where possible with this mod
If hosting on your own webhost and you use Cloudflare, then setup a sub-domain just for the files, and do not proxy it via cloudflares system.
