Modding Quick Start

This quick start guide gives you the short form steps to reverse your mod keys, create a new mod, upload it to Steam as a private mod, subscribe to the mod to test it, and then to locally iterate changes until you are ready to publish it publicly.

Quick Start Guide

Here is the standard process you should consider when creating a new mod:

Setup Your Mod

The following steps are to get your mod initially created, configured and ready for you to develop.

1. Reserve your Mod IDs (unique range of integers) and Story Key (unique story string) by commenting on the Claim Your ID Block Google Spreadsheet. A Trese Brothers team member will convert your comment into a claim on the row.
2. Create your new mod using the Modding Mod Uploader
3. Setup basic metadata for your mod (title, description, icon) and set your mod as "Private" on Steam for the initial upload
4. Upload your mod to Steam Workshop
5. Log on to the Steam Workshop, locate your mod and subscribe to it
6. Open the Steam client and confirm that your mod is downloaded to your Steam Library in SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\1021210\ folder (where 1021210 is the Cyber Knights: Flashpoint app ID).
7. Return to the Mod Uploader, and use theSet Steam Mod Folder to select this new download directory. This links your mod uploader entry to the live folder of your mod in Steam.

   

Develop and Improve Your Mod

Once your mod is correctly configured, then you are ready to start development of the content. The following steps

1. Now you are ready to make changes to your mod and rapidly test them. Iterate mod improvements and repeat the following steps:
   1. Develop and improve your mod files
   2. Whenever ready to test, use the Local Install Mod button in Mod Uploader to push the updated files into your Steam install
   3. Run Cyber Knights: Flashpoint inside Steam and check out your changes. Your changes are detected and refreshed each time Cyber Knights: Flashpoint is restarted.

Publish Your Mod

1. When you are finished working on your mod and ready for a version 1.0 release, switch the mod to Public and re-publish to Steam.
2. Be sure to test the result on your local Steam client installation!
3. Subscribe to comments on your mod so that you are ready to respond to any community questions or commentary.
