steam no longer showing workshop downloads

This is automatically managed when uploading to Steam the first time, and required if you wish to update an existing Steam Workshop mod.

The STEAM_FILE_ID used to identify the mod in the Workshop.

Only ID and NAME are required to appear in the in-game mod menu. The game will detect all mods that are properly made in this folder and let the user select which mods to play (see below.)

Otherwise, manually download the mod, then place the mod zip file or the unzipped mod folder into the Dwarf Fortress mod folder (if this folder doesn't exist, you can create it.) You can have more than one mod in the mod folder, including different versions of the same mod. Users of the Steam version can subscribe to mods on the Steam Workshop, once the download is complete they will be available when creating a new world automatically. In FFXV mods works great, when I use ModOrganizer, but fbx files with texture - hard to find (easy only nude).Mods can be acquired using the Steam Workshop (if using the Steam version), a manual download from Bay 12 Forums or third party websites (like DFFD), or by creating one yourself.

I suspect that Steam 'locks' the workshop by default, which is why newer games tend to often not be accessible via the downloader - meaning it's up to the game's publisher to explicitly set the workshop to be available.Īh ok. If you want a mod that's currently 'locked' for you because you don't have it on Steam, your options are:ġ) Contact the publisher of the game and get them to unlock it (this sometimes works - Klei unlocked Invisible Inc workshop mods for example).Ģ) See if the mod is available elsewhere, such as Moddb or NexusMods - if not, contact the developer of the mod and get them to get their shit together. The API Steam downloader (and similar web pages and tools) uses is a web-based API - it never had anything to do with the game itself. This is nothing to do with Steam Downloader and the API, and everything to do with the publisher of the game not enabling those who don't own the game on Steam to download workshop mods. In the past the steam workshop used to use a different system where the game itself would download mods using an API, which I think is what that steam workshop downloader is trying to use. It all goes through the steam client now. 'I think it's not actually possible to use a downloader for newer steam workshop stuff, because it uses the same download depot system for mods as for games. Guess GOG users are not allowed to use mods for that game. 'The game that this item belongs too does not allow downloading of its items' on

for some games like Hat In Time, you're fucked
