Workshop Beta Build Live!

22 Dec, 2016 @ 5:05pm - RedHookTyler
Hey all - IT'S ALIVE!!!!!

Subscribe to the steam_workshop BETA branch by right clicking on Darkest Dungeon in your library, choose PROPERTIES, choose the BETAS tab, and enter this password:
ModdersDeLight
Please keep this password confidential to this group. Thank you. :)

Note: after you enter the password, you still need to select the steam_workshop Beta branch from the BETAs tab.

I'm about to turn the Official Modding Guide live, but it's very much WIP. However, look at the section "Uploading your Mod to Steam Workshop."

The goal of this closed group beta is twofold:
  1. to try out this pipeline and ensure everything is working before turning things live to the broader community.
  2. to populate the workshop with some initial content. Congrats--you all get first crack at this! :)

To that end, please let us know pain points, problems, and other feedback. Use this forum, as it will help us all coordinate.

A few specific notes:
  • Localization modding is also very much WIP. Currently, in order to mod strings/loc, you need to make changes to the .xmls in the core game
    /Darkest Dungeon/localization
    folder and then run localization.bat in that folder before taking the .loc data files over to where your mod is located. We are working on a system whereby you can just add strings instead of having to replace the entire data files.
  • We are in the process of exposing a bunch more tunable settings to do with core rules in the game (e.g. combat crit multipliers, torchlight settings, and lots more) but wanted to skip that for this initial beta build just so we can test the workshop pipeline.

We haven't decided when we will turn Workshop live just yet, but we *may* wait until after we ship our Radiant mode in January. Stay tuned.

Thanks so much for your participation!

Final note: BACK UP YOUR SAVES before tinkering.

IMPORTANT : If you are receiving the "Steam initialization" error, set your exe to run as an admin

Well the new exe file is working fine for me right now and I manage to upload my first mod without much problem. It also appears to be working correctly. I'll upload a few more files and test a few more of other members mods in the evening.

I saw and tested your skele test mod yesterday, which worked correctly (100hp Bone Soldiers). If there are any others, then I can't see them.

@scorpiovaeden : I see your workshop item. Is it working?

BTW all: feel free to set your item's privacy to "public". It will still just show for this group.

Hey all--to help us troubleshoot, do you mind posting the contents of your .json files?

scorpiovaeden: go to the Official Modding Guide that I've posted (in the Guides) section of the community hub for Darkest Dungeon and look at the "Uploading to Steam Workshop" section to get an idea of how to move something from your local hard drive onto the Workshop.

As for accessing the workshop generally, choose "Workshop" from the Darkest Dungeon community hub.

We've been able to get mods working internally today at least.

Do any of you see some of our test items in the Workshop when you choose "Browse Items"?

Hey guys this might be a silly question - but how do I "open" or "access" the workshop? I activated the code and selected steam_workshop from the dropbox - then my game updated. But wheere do I go from there?
Saint_Michaels_ 22 Dec, 2016 @ 7:24pm 
I haven't been able to get it working either. Steam_Workshop_Upload keeps crashing on me when I both open it manually and with the .json file. It creates a .json just fine(?), but it seems unstable for me.

Also, are we suppose to keep the workshop file set to "private" on the .json?
Maester Silvio 22 Dec, 2016 @ 7:10pm 
I have not been able to make this work at all. At first I thought it may have been due to the extra files (PDFs) I have in my root folder, and I even thought that it errored out due to the spaces in the explorer path. Still doesn't work for me currently.
