I have not had any issue with users receiving updates. Steam will not update workshop items right away. The best way to get it immediately is to restart Steam. This wouldn't be something that Red Hook can control anyway, as it's a Steam client feature.

Strange - have two people subbed to Apothecary - even after three days - they have not gotten the updates - I am also subbed to a few by others - and the same issue occurs.

The only way I have gotten updates from other modders is to unsub/resub.

And in terms of Apothecary they have had to unsub to get a new skin or file chnage in an update.

It has not worked once yet - even after days of the update being live. So not sure what the issue is. And I know at least three of us in the beta are having the issue.

Is there something we need to "enable" to allow updates to go through?

Hello everyone,

Currently all of my custom classes are live on the Workshop - they all download and run correctly in game when activated.

At this time I am looking for feedback - if anyone would like to test-run my class mods and provide feedback on skills and/or balancing that would be awesome. Right now I am pulling back on class creation - to focus on adding new art files (like promo images for the image file, weapon/armor icons, etc), class balancing, and also helping other modders with their art assets for their new classes that are coming down the pipe.

Here is a list of my class mods that are live and fully functional on the Workshop:

Paladin
Blackguard
Apothecary
Astronomer
Lord (Lord of Darkness mod)
Lady
Necromancer
Demon Hunter
Court Magus
Viking
Kunoichi
Shinobi
Baron
Maiden
Sorceresss
Shadow Dancer
Moogle!!!!!

The only mod I have posted that does not work is the Tutorial_Lord_Mod - as at this time it seems the workshop downloader can't overrite the tutorial scripts.

Also keep in mind that our beta version of the game does not have a file wall - so you can use as many mods and classes that you want.

My future plans include a FF6 class pack (Moogle was the start of this), finishing my Diablo-Styled Class pack (Necro, Demon Hunter, and Sorceress are the start of this), and to do a DD "Townie" mod pack (This will include classes like Sanitarium Nurse, Survivalist, Armorer, etc.). Once the DLC and new features are released I will resume my class creation, hopefully with new assets and effects to play with :)

So yeah - if anyone is willing to playtest my classes feel free to provide me with feedback on skills and balancing.

Cheers! And thank you Red Hook for giving us all the new content that is on the way!

Thanks.

AJ - in our version of the game - which is different from what the non-beta players are using. I have run your Good Girl, Vamp, Pit Fighter, Assassin, and Courtesan, through to Champ dungeons (I have not played much in champ at this point) but I have not crashed once. Once steam workshop is released - other players will have no issue as well.

I am running your mods as a manual install.

So right now - the issue that other players are facing is most likely from one of 2 sources:

1. Non-workshop game does still have the file wall restriction.

2. Designing/modifying your classes in this version of the game - which might be causing issues in the version of the game that non-beta players are using.

I can confirm that at least myself and Baron have run your mods without any issue up through to champ dungeons.

I ran a few tests with the most recent character classes with all the current released Workshop classes at once. All of them work fine except for Muscarine's Offering Mod, which does not appear in the stagecoach. I checked the modifies.txt with the Offering mod and it's missing pretty much everything. Scorpio had this problem too that I help him with and it might be caused by having the class already in the DarkestDungeon folder, which is probably confusing the uploader.

The classes themselves appear to work fine although I didn't test them fully. The debug does say that there are errors with the Lord missing an aflliction image (Which doesn't make sense since he appears to have it, unless this is a modifies.txt error) and the Court Magus not being assigned Camping skills.

I have started work again IRL, so I do not have nearly as much free time at the moment, but I'll still pitch in as much as I can.

So far I have had the same issue with court magus. Also didnt see the upgrades for her in the guild or black smith.Currently still running nexus version of offering but she is working great with the workshop mods I am running. Glad to hear my mage is holding up

Hey guys,

I just checked the files for the Court Magus - looks like I had forgotten to delete camp/upgrades files from the hard files. I have her re-uploaded there now.

Please unsub and resub to get the update (since the workshop does not seem to be sending out updates you need to unsub/resub to get the missing files).

And - I solved it lol. Looks like it was a name error for an anim.

Hey guys!

I am looking for some help with a new class mod I am making. For the first time - in a long time - I am getting bizarre errors that I have not seen in some time.

The problem is I cannot figure out where the problem is exactly.

The class crashes the game whenever I try to take her into a dungeon. (This hero is not uploaded into the workshop yet - so this is not related to the uploader).

So here is the error I am getting (It does look familiar to me but I cannot place the problem):

Asset failed:

Unit32 character_count>size

BinaryReader::ReadString in untold/h/
binary_reader.h line 179

Buffer too small!


Any ideas?

Hey guys - quick modding question for anyone who might know the answer. I am starting to add weapon/armor icons to my classes. In following AJ's method to do so through the .info, .art, and localization file - I seem to have everything setup. In game the art for the weapon/armors icons shows up no problem - but unfortunately the names that I have put in the localization file does not seem to show. Any idea what I may be missing?

What i have changed:
-Added Weapon and Armor art for all upgrades (check and works)

-In the .art file changed all weapon/armour names to include class name
ex: weapon: .name "black_mage_weapon_0" .icon "eqp_weapon_0.png"

-In the .info files changed all weapon and armour names to include class name
ex: weapon: .name "black_mage_weapon_0" .atk 0% .dmg 4 8 .crit 4% .spd 6

-In Localization file I have setup all weapon/armour names:

<entry id="black_mage_weapon_0"><![CDATA[Simple Rod]]></entry>
<entry id="black_mage_weapon_1"><![CDATA[Sturdy Rod]]></entry>
<entry id="black_mage_weapon_2"><![CDATA[Jeweled Rod]]></entry>
<entry id="black_mage_weapon_3"><![CDATA[Golden Rod]]></entry>
<entry id="black_mage_weapon_4"><![CDATA[Rod of Elements]]></entry>
<entry id="upgrade_tree_name_black_mage.weapon"><![CDATA[Jeweled Rod]]></entry>
<entry id="black_mage_armour_0"><![CDATA[Old Robe]]></entry>
<entry id="black_mage_armour_1"><![CDATA[Cotton Robe]]></entry>
<entry id="black_mage_armour_2"><![CDATA[Silk Robe]]></entry>
<entry id="black_mage_armour_3"><![CDATA[Luminous Robe]]></entry>
<entry id="black_mage_armour_4"><![CDATA[Magus Robe]]></entry>
<entry id="upgrade_tree_name_black_mage.armour"><![CDATA[Silk Robe]]></entry>


So ultimately - the art works - but the names are not showing up, they are defaulting back to the base names of the Grave Robber in game.

Any thoughts on what I am missing?

EDIT: HAHA Nevermind - turns out I needed to run localization to pick up the new waepon/armour names. Silly scorpio... lol.

Welcome to the group everyone.

I'm started doing runs on PBD which I'm going to be doing daily. I'm 3 missions in and so far it's running fine outside of some missing graphics in the Hamlet screen according to the debug log.

I'll do some tests with the class mods & Silvios recent gameplay mods later tonight.

Hey St. Micheals, keep in mind that class mods and PBD are not compatible. Each class mod would require a patch to work correctly in PBD. And while they may initially appear to be working - they are missing many things to work throughout the overhaul. Silvio might be able to explain mor eon this as we have discussed it before.

Hey modders and devs - through testing mods and getting my classes setup on the Workshop I have picked up on two issues that may be troublesome for players in the future. I will outline them below:

1. Class Mod Updates: On Friday I updated my Apothecary custom class - with an additional skin. After I re-uploaded the class through the Workshop - I received the update to my steam (steam workshop content update) in approcimately 10 minutes after the upload. That was great. The problem is - Baron and Khallin who are in our beta had previously subbed to the Apothecary - they did not get the update. And after 3 days they still did not get the automatic update to their machines. They had to go in and un-sub then re-sub in order to get the update.

Steam Workshop mods, once updated, should send out an automatic update not long afterwards to anyone who is subbed to said mod. So this will need to be corrected before Workshop release.

2. Game Re-Install results in Workshop mod classes deleting from save files - This is a complicated one that had multiple variables that led to the issue. So bear with me. Last week I broke my game through modding and what not. I did a complete uninstall and deleted all mod folders. I re-installed the game and then re-added my manually installed heroes. I turned on DD, and re-activated the Apothecary class for the save file that was at week 55 with her as a level 5 hero. When I loaded my save file - all manually installed heroes were there, exactly as they were before the uninstall of the game at their appropriate levels - unfortunately the Apothecary was gone as if she was never in the game. So she was lost from the save file. Not sure why or how this happened - or if this is normal for steam mods - so take it with a grain of salt.

I completely understand that these are minor issues right now, just thought they should be mentioned so that they are not missed, especially the 1st one. That's all I got for now! Hope it made sense, lol.
