Steam Workshop is Live!

[boldpaste2]

You would most likely need the steam version installed to do it. On steam, RPG maker is tied to your account and that's how it identifies you when downloading or uploading to the workshop.

Hmm. I see. Will the steam version ruin the non-steam version?

Shouldn't, they each have their own install path. The only problem I can see is file association. if you try to open a project file, it might not know which one to open it in.

Yeah, file association is the tricky part. Typically, clicking on the rvproject2 game file will open up whichever version of VX Ace was most recently installed.

Is there a way around that?

go into rpg maker first and  then open the project that way should do the trick.

you can right click a proj file and select open with, then find the Ace that you want and tick the box which says always open using this program

silly me. completely forgot bout that.

 

[Deckiller]

Yep! That's the best way to handle it.

How should scripts be added to this? I'm not seeing it as an option under "Game Genre/Resource Type" in manage projects, but it's listed as a filter in the workshop.

 

[Deckiller]

Good question! For now, you could create a small demo game with the scripts included. We'll have to talk with our technical team about adding some sort of functionality for scripts

Does Enterbrain code this stuff or did they outsource it?

 

[Jomarcenter]

I think Delgica made the code for the workshop. Since they have the rights to modify the program in any way.

I believe they code steams source sdk so that it works in with steam.

Okie dokie, I put a couple of those up.


Really liking this feature so far. The Workshop makes doing little demos for them a lot easier than uploading on a website & making people download from posts to try it out. I love that every subscriber will automatically have any new releases/bug fixes without following forums.

Just remember... transfering dlc to others who havent paid for it is against stam and rm eula, as is using paid resources you recieve from dl of others projects... already cought a few steam accounts sharing resource packs through mediafire...

Sure, that works! We can also look up your purchase history if you provide your key and purchase e-mail. You can send in a support ticket or e-mail marketing@rpgmakerweb.com - both teams are active in assigning Steam keys

 

[jknightandkarr]

How do I find the key? All I received from Steam is the receipt, I'm forwarding my Steam repeipt to marketing@rpgmakerweb.com The receipt has the same name as my username. I hope the email arrives. That's the first email I've sent out since Yahoo changed stuff again.

I believe the key is automatically tied to your steam account... so download RM from steam and run it from there...
