CURE - Workshop Guide

A guide showing how access, create, upload, edit, and comsume content on the Codename CURE workshop.

Downloading content

To access the workshop in-game simply click the "workshop" menu item (circled), and "browse the workshop..." as shown here:
You can also use the above menu to access and manage subcribed items.

Once the steam workshop page opens, click "Browse -> Items" where the red arrow is shown:
You can also access this workshop page out of game via the community hub by clicking the "workshop" tab (circled).

You may then browse the workshop, once you find and item you wish to install click the "+Subscribe" button.
Your content will now start to download via steam, remember you must restart the game for any workshop content to be mounted.

Good luck have fun ;)

Creating / Uploading an Item

Custom folder

First things first, all mods start their life in the "custom" folder of the CURE game directory usually located in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Codename CURE\cure

Create a new folder in the directory (of any name - but in this example we shall use "myMod"). The structure of the content in this folder should follow the standard source engine format e.g.

materials
models
sound
maps
etc...

In this example we are loading music files to replace the existing ones located in "sound/music".

When your mod files are correctly copied/structured you may launch the game and test your mod, contents of this folder are mounted in the same fashion as workshop items... so if your mod works here, chances are it'll work for those on the subscribing end.

Uploading to the workshop

When you are happy with your mod, create a preview image for viewing in the workshop preferably 16x9 aspect ratio and either jpg or png format. It must however be less than 1 Megabyte in size (I personally find a 1280x720 jpg at 90 quality to be fine). Place this image in the custom folder alongside your mod folder, like so:


Launch the game, open the console and run the following command:

WorkshopCreate

You will then see the workshop create/edit user interface. To create a new workshop item click the "Create New Item" button located at the top.

NOTE** DO NOT click the "Create New Item" button every time you want to upload changes (this will simply spam many new empty items into the workshop - if I start seeing a lot of these I will ban them and you will receive an Admin warning from steam and a workshop UGC cooldown period), simply select a workshop ID from the drop down list (or enter it manually in the text field) and click “edit existing item”.
*EDIT* selecting an existing mod ID from the drop down list may be broken for some mods, if this happens select "Use text field:" in the drop down and manually enter the workshop ID and click "edit existing item" instead.


You may at this point be presented with a workshop user agreement, you must accept this and return to the creation window (exiting the steam overlay if nessisary).

You will at this point see a new ID number has appeared in the dropdown control beneath the creation button. With this item selected, click the "Edit Existing Item" button.


Fill in the fields as appropriate, type the folder name of your mod, and the filename of your image as they appear in the "custom" folder. When you are finished click the "Update Item" button and wait for the "uploading" label to show "Success!".

Congratulations you have now uploaded your first workshop item, you can now make edits to this item (such as adding additional images or setting the category of the item) using the workshop webpages. If however you need to re-upload the files you will need to use this UI again.

Error return codes

If you experience difficulties uploading your workshop item, you will get a return result number from steam in the console. this indicates the reason for the failure, match the number to the items in the following list to help you determine what the issue is:
