[Steam] Addon Updating and Uploading
Posted: Sun Nov 06, 2016 3:08 am
I actually have two separate issues, both related to Steam and Addons. Any help is greatly appreciated.
First, I have not been able to publish the last several updates for my Dark Priest addon to the Steam workshop. I can upload to te4.org without any issue, but when I try to upload to Steam I just get a message saying 'there was an error'. I had previously had the same problem with Prowler, and, at Stunt's suggested, toggled the 'Enable Steam cloud saves' option on, which allowed me to upload. I tried the same process, but I am still not able to upload the Dark Priest update. Anything else I could try (short of deleting the item from the workshop before trying to upload; I'm saving that as a last resort option, in case I still can't upload it)?
Incidentally, it was just brought to my attention that when I had the issue with Prowler it actually created a new item on the workshop when I was able to upload again, rather than updating the item that was already there. I've deleted the older item now, but I thought this was odd, and perhaps worth a mention, in case it's something that should be looked into. There were still many players subscribed to the old (very buggy) version.
The other issue actually has to do with addons downloaded from te4.org. I play ToME via Steam, and any addons that I subscribe to on the workshop will update automatically when new versions are published. That all works fine.
As I understand it, though, addons downloaded from te4.org should also update automatically when the game launches, if a new version is available. Is this correct, or am I mistaken? If this is correct, it does not seem to function correctly when playing via Steam. I have to manually update any addons that I download from te4.org, and I have confirmed with a few other Steam players that this is the case for them, as well. This includes both third-party and official addons (e.g. Embers of Rage).
Thanks in advance for any help.
