Comments

Step 1

Download

First, you need to download the SteamCMD program from Valve Developer Community

Then create a folder for SteamCMD (example: D:\steamcmd) and extract the contents of the zip to the folder

After that, you need to open SteamCMD and write such a command: login <your_login> <your_password>

After writing the command, you will need to confirm your account via email or Steam Guard

Step 2

Code

The next step is that you need to create a notepad text file;
Write the code below in it and enter the necessary data:

"workshopitem" { "appid" "603850" // ID "contentfolder" "<path_to_the_folder_with_addon>" "previewfile" "<path_to_the_preview_image>" "title" "<name_of_the_addon>" "description" "<description_of_the_addon>" "changenote" "<notes_about_changes>" "visibility" "0" // 0 - public, 1 - friends, 2 - private "tags" { "0" "<tag1>" "1" "<tag2>" } }

What you name the VDF file doesn't matter

Save

After that, you need to save this file as .vdf

Сommand

After that, you need to write in SteamCMD such command:

workshop_build_item C:\<path_to_your_addon>

(example: workshop_build_item C:\myaddons\myaddon.vdf)

End

Another question how do I update a mod I already published

OZON [author] 28 Feb @ 10:56pm

This is the game ID, there is no need to change it

Kadu the warmonger 28 Feb @ 5:35pm

What do I put in Id?

Молится всем богам что она запуститься. Можешь поставить на рабочий стол иконы, рунические символы (Символ переустановки виндовс), задонатить в стим, а также сделать намаз дабы как минимум Перун, боженька Габен, Бог и Аллах были благосклонны к тебе и дали волю на запуск программы

☦KOLHOZNIK☦ 10 Nov, 2024 @ 11:38am

Что делать если программа запускается и сразу вылетает?

OZON [author] 5 Oct, 2024 @ 2:45am

Check if the image format is JPG, the resolution is 500x500, and the file size is in kilobytes. If all of these are correct, the issue might be with the file itself or with steamcmd.
