Publishing To Steam Workshop

Documentation for getting your Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition content onto Steam Workshop!

Structuring your Upload

Before uploading your mod, first create a directory/folder for the mod on your computer. Inside this directory, make sure the structure of your module folder mirrors that of the Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition game directory. The location of this module directory is up to your discretion.
Using the example above:

We named the mod “My Steam Module”

C:\My Steam Module\

Inside this directory, add an extra folder.

C:\My Steam Module\tlk\

If specific file-types have proper folders in the Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition install directory, add a seperate folder for those. For example, if we use Hak packs in the module, include that file inside a new folder:

C:\My Steam Module\hak\

Continue adding folders for any files your mod needs (.mod, .wbm, etc.). To add a thumbnail for your mod, include an image file named thumbnail.png or thumbnail.jpg in the root folder of your upload.

Steam allows you to tag your mod with a list of categories that can help users find your content. To add tags to your mod, add a file called tags.txt in the root folder of your upload. Add a new line of text to the file, where each line is the text of the tag you’d like to add. Make sure there are no blank lines.

Here is the list of pre-defined tags you can use:

module
tileset
hak
compilation
persistentworld
override
singleplayer
multiplayer
music
sound
voices
textures
models
portraits
script

Uploading your Mod

In order to upload your prepared folder, enter a specific console command from inside a Steam-enabled version of the game.

• Launch Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition from Steam.
  
• Open the console (press ~)
  
• Type: WorkshopUpload <full path to your mod directory>
  
  In our example, in this case it would be:
  

  WorkshopUpload  C:\My Steam Module

  
  
• Steam will upload the mod and display a message when complete.
  
• Close the game and go to your Steam Workshop content directory. You should see a new content item with the name of the directory you uploaded.
  
• In Steam, fill in the description and any additional data for your mod

Steam Workshop requires that your Steam account has spent at least $5 USD before posting content.

Updating your Mod

You may update your mod by following the same process as uploading. As long as the name of your mod is the same as the name of the directory you are uploading, Steam will detect that the mod is the same, and replace the files on Steam Workshop with the ones in the directory.

Subscribing to Mods

“Subscribing” to a Mod on Steam Workshop sets Steam to download that workshop-item, and to keep it up to date. It is the method by which you may download other user’s Mods.

To subscribe to a mod, navigate your Steam client to the Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition workshop interface. Then, find the workshop item you would like to subscribe to, and click “Subscribe”.

The next time you start the game, the mod content should appear as long as it was structured and uploaded correctly.

Dependencies

If your mod relies on content from other mods, you can use Steam Workshop's dependencies feature. To do this, go to your workshop item's page and click "Add/Remove Required Items". From here, you can choose other workshop items that your mod depends on.

Using this feature will allow you to avoid including redundant content or content that you don't have permission to redistribute.

I wish this guide included path examples for GNU/Linux. Does ~ work? I'm thinking probably not. Do spaces actually work? Because I've tried specifying something like /home/user/MyMod as my directory and it doesn't seem to work. If I specify my existing mod name it will find it and says it's uploaded, but nothing appears in the changelog on the workshop. I can try a different name for a different folder, and I get a new workshop entry but with 0 files.

Hey, has upload changed since? I am trying to make HAK pack for server, and even if it does say that upload has been finished, as im seeing page on steam workshop it doesnt seem to contain any files by size or by description. Any help with that?

[Proleric]

Worth mentioning that WorshopUpload is case-sensitive.

Is there a way to add supplemental files, such as a readme?

[LadyJoe]

sooo goood

[dendroid101]

I just uploaded "Know This - A Prelude," and no matter what I do, it will not upload a thumbnail.

Any ideas?

Is there a way to add all dependencies? I have a saved game that I have shared with 1120 entries, I know that sounds like a lot but it's average for that game, and it is vary tedious clicking 1120 times in a small text box that re-loads every time I add a dependency.

Hi, I think you missunderstood my question.
I know what and how to do it for me, my question was how to make working for my subscribers.

Thanks for answer anyway.

[werelynxo]

@Cagus: go to your steamapps and workshop folder, find the two mods. Now copy the less important tgas int your overwrite folder located in my documents/Neverwinter Nights/override.
Then copy the more important tgas into that override folder and when prompted overwrite them.

Also make sure to have the files saved somewhere in case you want to clean the mod from your override without totally emptying it :)

Мод обновил, пишет что удачно, но на деле обновления нет. Есть идеи почему так?
