ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hello!

As you surely know tome has been greenlit and I'm working hard to bring it out ASAP.
I've added integration with Steam Workshop (the place where they have mods/addons/... for all steam games).
It's very simple really, next release will have a special dev addon which you can invoke ingame which will register an addon on te4.org, create the .teaa file, md5'sum it, and even upload it to te4.org; all that at the press of a button !
And when using the steam version it'll also just as easily let you upload to the Workshop.

I want the game to launch on steam with the workshop open, however to do that there must already be a good amount of content available; so I need addon makers to upload them in advance (and no I cant do it for you, cant usurp your identities )

So how this works:
- you need a linux or windows computer (sorry no OSX steam for now as I cant get hold of neunon :/ ) with Steam and a steam account
- I'll give you a free steam key
- You use the key to access the beta, then you link your steam account to te4.org
- You start the game, press a few buttons for each addon
- You go admire your work on the Workshop (and possibly upload a better "preview" iamge than the autogenerated one )

All addon makers are welcome, be they making classes, races or quality of life addons!

Okay I'll do it.
But I don't have anything to use for preview images...

Make OS/X work and I'll give it a try.

My Steam ID is also "doctornull".

My steam name is StarKeep, and I'm up for trying it. (didn't post here before, as I wasnt' sure if I should message you instead, this having no responses)
Though this 'preview image', if it's as important as I fear, must take hours of dedication to create.

Would a terribly cropped snapshot work, if I added in a couple of explosions and ice cream cones?

I need moar !

I'll do this once I get Stoics fixed up for 1.0.5. Just need to finish one of the new talent trees and tweak a few things.

GIve me a moment on this one; I suspect getting Steam actually installed and running on this box is likely to be a minor adventure in and of itself... In the meantime, perhaps the Steam regulars could give me an idea of what I'm getting into here?

Steam's a browser based system, so it's extremely easy to navigate. You'll have to trouble. As to Workshop, it provides a simple way to find and download mods, which are then kept automatically updated.

Looks like the preview image is set when the addon is published to steam from t-engine (can't be changed from the workshop).

It can be changed, you have to upload a new image first though.

Yeah on the right sidebar there is an add/edit image link

This lets me add other screenshots and a youtube video in the addon details, but does not let me change the thumbnail/preview picture that would be seen in a large list of addons.

Add a new image, then you can change the preview image to the new one.

New steam build is up, it should warn you about tags and let you upload a custom preview.
Go on, upload now!

New build is up, should fix most issues
