Welcome to the POSTAL 2 Workshop

Feel free to use this forum for anything regarding the POSTAL 2 Workshop or the POSTed Development Kit. I can't guarantee that every question will receive an answer but I'll try to help out when I can.

Before you do anything check out official POSTAL 2 Steam Workshop Guide for direction on starting.

Here are some other useful guides specific to Steam Workshop:

Starting with POSTed, including setting up a development environment, some useful tools, and obtaining a copy of the UnrealScript source to begin modding.
Making friends with the command prompt
Creating your first Workshop mod
Modifying stock maps easily with "Copy as Script"
Quick reference of POSTed keyboard shortcuts

This is not an exhaustive list, especially as we are just getting started. Keep your eyes peeled for more guides and tutorials.

If you don't want to make mods, but play them, then here are some of my favorites.

Sandbox and Ultimate Sandbox, two free-roam game modes for going POSTAL in without the usual nagging of your Hateful Wife.
MrDownerup's weapon replacements. Add to (or replace!) the stock weapons with wild and wacky variants, such as a Krotchy Launcher, or a ♥♥♥♥♥ to smack your enemies with.
Old Timer Bystanders and Construction Worker Bystanders add more NPC's to the game.
If you're looking for more of a challenge, try Dude on the Run, a mod that forces you to play with your wanted meter maxed at all times, and spawns in ambush squads to attack you when you least expect it!
And finally, fans of AW7/AWP will want to try AW7 School, which reinstates the two bonus maps that were in the original AW7 mod.

Enjoy POSTAL 2 with Steam Workshop support!

I don't understand one thing, if i make map i can attach some resource with map (like ogg music or scripts) and they would be downloaded with this map to workshop?

You can include any resources that go with the map (compiled scripts, textures, etc). Unfortunately Ogg files will not play, we didn't get to fully implement that for workshop items. Might be possible in the future though.

Sorry but I'm a noob for modding.

I wanna change Loading area sign(rc_hourglass on Timb>sign) and other letters signs.
But it looks like nothing on POSTed Texture Browser (common\POSTAL2Editor\Textures\Timb.utx).I found that on common\POSTAL2Complete\ShareThePain\Textures\Timb.utx.
What's happen on that? and is it able to replace textures on STP textures folder by Workshop?

Kamek,thanks for answer.

Nick Jakal, maybe write this in other topic in workshop area ? You can't find texture ? Look at texture browser and check "groups" tab,maybe you don't press "all". Or you can't import texture? Look at path, it have group "Timb.sign.rc_hourglass". If you import your texture you need check path from where you import texture without "space". And what resolution(128*128,256*256,512*512 etc.) and format your texture have ? (you can make TGA and convert to DDS then import).

Well...yes.I have wrote "can't find textures!" on Bug report thred on this forum.
you mean "groups" on Textures browser>Texture>Full include P2DevMat,P2ETexture etc...?
Yes I pressed "All" button.
Timb>sign there is only "Texture 7th_heaven" and "Texture digital_tunes".

I can find "Timb.sign.rc_hourglass" only when I load P2C>ShareThePain\Textures\Timb.utx and that isn't default texture load path.

I made and replaced texture and checked that worked.

I have find you make topic about workshop question.Is is better to move my question to that? I'm sorry to cause you trouble.

Nick Jackal, i think,maybe your package not loaded you can check this if open your map or editor that choose pack timb in texture browser and then press button "Load entire package" Picture where is button[i59.tinypic.com]
or you can find this package in folder "common\POSTAL2Editor\Textures\Timb.utx" and look at size of this file. If pack size not 36mb then you can re install your PostED. I think this pack not downloaded in full size (steam troubles) (Yeah,my english not good).
