Once your addon works and you want to world to see it you need to follow some simple steps to get it up on te4.org (and Steam Workshop if you on ToME on Steam):
- Check to make sure your addon has tags specified in the init.lua file (tags = { 'races', 'human', 'challenge'}). The tags should be descriptive to assist searching on the te4.org website.
- Create a folder with the format "tome-[short_name]", where the short_name is the same as that specified in the init.lua (tome-humansextended).
- Place your addon folder in the [TOME install folder]/game/addons folder, and copy into it all of your addon files (init.lua, data folder, hooks folder, overload folder, superload folder).
- Make sure developer mode is on (from the main menu: Options >> Developer mode >> Yes).
- Make sure you are logged in-game.
- Make a new character with the addon enabled.
- Enter debug menu (ctrl+a if you didn't re-bind it), and choose the Addon Developer menu.
- Select the option to register a new addon if this is the first time uploading this addon.
- Select the option to publish the addon to the te4.org website.
- Wait as the game packages and uploads your addon.
- Optional: do the same thing with the Steam upload.
- If you are having trouble uploading to steam. Try Purging Cloud Saves (From the main menu: Options >> Steam >> Purge Cloud Saves). These can be in a bad state and block uploading.
- You're done, your addon should now appear on te4.org addons list.
- Optional (but recommended): Create a te4.org forum account and start a new topic in the Addons section to give players a place to provide feedback about your addon and link to the topic from the te4.org addon page created for your addon. You will have to wait for a moderator to approve your topic before you can link to it.
Unverified info: Edit your addon on your profile page to be able to enter the addon steam workshop id (check workshop page url for id), allowing you to update your old workshop entry.
