Uploading and creating Self update feature for your mod or reference
Starting in MSCLoader 1.1 you can add more info for your mods, like: custom icons, descriptions, download links, mod conflicts, required mods, etc.
This feature doesn't need any code changes, so everyone will benefit this feature as soon as you publish it.
Starting in MSCLoader 1.2.2 you can create self-update file of your mod or reference directly from game.
Make sure you running MSCLoader 1.2.2 or later, open console in main menu by pressing ~ key by default, and type this command:
- First you need to auth yourself through steam, go to This website and login via steam
- Copy into mscloader console specified command listed on that webiste. (On above website you can also manage your current mods info (like icons, descriptions, current files etc.) and references
To register your mod into database type:
-
metadata create YourModID(replace YourModID with correct modID)
(at this stage you can now edit some info of your mod on webiste)
To upload or update your mod type
-
metadata update YourModID(replace YourModID with correct modID)
Menu like this below should show:
By pressing "Upload Updated Mod" you will upload your current running version to mod as Self-update file.
"Update Mod version only" - updates only version information so if someone uses outdated version of your mod it will show only in Updates tab.
When using second option make sure you have setup at least one mod link, so people know where to get latest version of your mod.
If you are reference creator, commands are similar metadata create_ref AssemblyID and metadata update_ref AssemblyID
