Workshop Support

[deepsnaeL]

I imagine that, due to how great this game feels already for those who have played RoR1, the modding scene will be very popular and many would like to port their mods over. Would it be possible to get steam workshop support for modding in this game? I would love to see that convenience.

I will attest that with the changes they've brought over to how skills work and characters are introduced it would make for flexible implementation of modded characters. Half of why I bought this remake was largely to be around and see what mods people bring around to this thing.

I was really hoping for this feature but alas, we'll likely end up using a mod manager again.

On that note, I do hope someone starts working on updating Starstorm's content for this.

I'm hoping workshop support will be added in a future update. Despite how complete the game feels already, I imagine there is a lot more in store.

Yeah.. nope. The developers decided to compile their game with YYC, which essentially makes modding the game EXTREMELY difficult. There's YYToolkit (https://github.com/Archie-osu/YYToolkit) for now, but the game's source code will need to be decompiled first before it is actually able to be worked with. The devs will essentially need to create their own modding tools/API for a modding scene to be viable, otherwise the barrier to entry is currently way too high.

Why on earth would you want workshop support? Workshop is the single worst mod manager I have ever used. Risk of Rain 2 using thunderstore has got to be the best thing I have ever seen, I have like 10 separate launch options and can launch vanilla depending what I wanna play on the day, no dumb unsubscribing and resubscribing to 2000 mods just because I feel like a mod pack today.

There is planned mod support confirmed. Not sure it'll be workshop, or a build in mod manager, but they want to do it.

Fair. The profile options in R2ModMan are super convenient. I think workshop is nice just because it allows for tool consolidation. Steam game + steam workshop etc.

The Devs confirmed on the official Discord server that before the EoL (end of life) of this game they will introduce official mod support.

That's nice and all but thunderstore is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to search. I wanted to find just playable character mods and if I look that up I get like 300 "packs" other people made with characters individually available. The search engine really needs love.

I agree, I think they really need to take the curseforge route and seperate mods and modpacks. So annoying how modpacks that add nothing on their own clog up the mod list.

I agree with you there but the filters fix that issue, the best option is for steam to update their workshop to a more usable and user friendly state, but until then thunderstore will have to do. In my ideal world curseforge features should be ported to thunderstore and the overwolf dependency would be removed.

Yeh it's the convenience argument ig, wish they'd update their ancient mod manager lol. Workshop could be sooooo good, but they insist on holding it back
