While Workshop support is enabled only in the Beta app (which we expect to be fairly brief), you will be unable to use the server download tool to download Workshop packages. You'll need to find another way to distribute the .cmwsdk files to server operators. This is because the method the server uses to download from the Workshop won't work until the Workshop is fully "released" (i.e. not while it's locked to the workshop testing group) |
- Open the example download list file at ChivlaryDirectory\Binaries\Win32\ServerDownloadList.txt, edit it to your needs and save it there or save it to a new file
- Open a command prompt window (Start -> Run -> cmd -> enter)
- Head into ChivlaryDirectory\Binaries\Win32
- Run:
WorkshopServerTool.exe -downloadfiles ServerDownloadList.txt
This will download the .cmwsdk files for every mod whose workshop URL you include in ServerDownloadList.txt. The files get placed in ServerDirectory\UDKGame\CookedSDK\__CMWSDKFiles. When you start the server, it will automatically extract the .cmwsdk files and put the extracted files in subfiles within the CookedSDK directory.
If you're running a server, you might want to do this on a regular interval to keep things up to date. At the very least, if you're hosting a mod or a work-in-progress map, be sure to watch their Workshop page or forum thread to see when its authors update it. Hosting a server with custom content
