How do you apply a mod for sanction?

Every source of information i can find on the process is incredibly vague and unhelpful. So how exactly does an author go about applying for a sanction? I know the sanctioning process itself is infamously slow and opaque but I'd like to know how to get the ball rolling.

That would be my guess, but I honestly don't know for sure myself. The folks in the Modders Discord are known to be quite helpful. If it interests you, I believe this is the Modders Discord: https://discord.gg/GAQMw4W

that they are. They basically taught me how to make anything for VT2, I'll give it a try there just to make sure.

I see you've got your mod tagged as Applied now! For future reference and anyone else looking for the answer, was it as we suspected above?

As an aside, I kind of doubt Games Workshop would allow approval, even if it's only a client-side change, but that's just my assumption. Don't let my conjecture get you down.

to expand, the people in the VT modding discord also said this:

and make sure that either you include the source code in the steam upload, or the source is accessible in some other fashion like on github.
there's a specific way you ought to include the source, I've been inactive lately, let me dig it up real quick
when executing vmb build you can add --source onto the end. This will add the source files to the directory that gets uploaded to steam
If you, like I do, prefer just running the _Build Mod.bat and _Upload Mod.bat files that are kindly given with vmb, then you can modify _Build Mod.bat to do this automatically
What I did is make a _Upload Mod With Source.bat which contains exactly this

@echo off
echo VERMINTIDE MOD BUILDER
echo ######################
echo.
echo Preparing to build and upload a mod.
echo This will send your changes to the workshop.
echo.

set /p mod_name=Please enter a mod name:
set /p game_number=Please enter a game number (1 or 2):
echo.

vmb build "%mod_name%" -g "%game_number%" --source
echo.
vmb upload "%mod_name%" -g "%game_number%"
echo.
