Once you're happy with the workshop page, boot up TTS again to make sure that it all works.We’ve just pushed an update that got our Asset Manager into a working state so I figured this would be a good time to make a guide for basic modding. If you hit the view button, you'll see steam says something like 'Modified on date X' You can edit the change notes to display what you actually did if you like.

You can upload new images there (Note that steam will display them at something daft like 636 x 358 which can make them look weird if you've not prepared them at that size)įinally, whenever you change the mod that little line that says '6 change notes' will update.

As well as putting some more detail into the games description, you can also include a link to your site about the physical game.Īlso, by default your game will have one image and it'll be a super zoomed in version of your square image - it's nicer to show off some box art and cards from the game and the like.

The 'owner controls' at the bottom right are also pretty handy.

#CREATING STAXEL MODS DOWNLOAD#

That's the URL that you want to give to anyone who is planning on playing the game - it'll lead them to this page and they can hit the 'Subscribe' button which will mean that they automatically download updates to this game from now on. Once you're happy that your game is as you'd like your playtesters to find it, it's time to upload it for the internet at large to see.Īt the top left is a URL. Undo: The left facing arrow icon (first icon along the bar at the top of the screen) Zoom: Holding 'ALT' on mouse over will show a zoomed in version of the card so that you can read it more easily.ĭelete a card: Hit DEL while holding the card.

Stack cards together: Place them on top of each other or drag and select a bunch and then click and hold the mouse while waving it furiously (This will collect all selected cards and shuffle them) Shuffle a deck: Click and hold on a deck and wave the mouse furiously Move a card: Click and drag (doing this on a deck will take the top card of the deck)įlip a card face up/down: Press 'F' while holding the card This is how players will encounter it when they load the mod, so doing as much setup as possible is good - but bear in mind that any randomisation will be saved, so if you shuffle a deck then everyone who loads your mod will get the cards in the same order. Once your deck is imported into the game, you can drag and drop individual cards to set up your game however you like.

#CREATING STAXEL MODS SOFTWARE#

These tell the software how many images are in the super image. Width & Height: 'Face' linked to a single image, but that image contains the images for all of the cards in the deck. It will ensure that the card backs are not displayed to the other players while it is in your hand - instead the last card in the face image will be displayed. Sideways: Used if the cards should be held and displayed in landscape rather than portraitīack is Hidden: If you want a double sided card, but want it to be ambiguous what a player is holding in their hand check this box. Otherwise it'll treat it as several different images and chop it up, putting a bit onto the back of each card. Unique Backs: If this is checked then the software will treat the image at 'Back' as one image and paste it onto the back of every card. Going through each of them in turn:įace: A link to the images for the front of the cards.īack: A link to the images for the back of the cards. So here we have a menu asking for a bunch of things.
