I can’t, either. Workshop Support will make this game so much better!

I’d love to make tons of mods for this game, so hopefully the tools in the Editor SDK will provide enough functionality for some of my craziest mod ideas.

This would be the most lit if we could make maps for mini golf

It is planned for custom game world maps… I think…

Question:
Is it going to work like the GMOD’s one or the CSGO’s one (I mean, do we have to vote to add things or it’s free to add wathever we could see on there

8

I believe you will be free to add whatever you’d like, seeing as what you add isn’t a main part of the game, unlike CSGO.

But what would the game do about errors like Gmod? If say one person subscribes to an object model to place in their condo, and if your not subscribed to the object model, what would it look like? Would there be an error sign, or would nothing just show at all in that spot?

10

I assume it would just show UE4’s missing texture file. The error sign was the source engines missing texture file and the blue grid wall is UE4s

I hope the workshop will be like Gmod’s one where you subscribe to stuff you want.

Think this will this let us make custom courses for games, or even custom games? Or maybe the details are misunderstood (thinking of it like workshop mods for other games, where you can create almost anything)

Would love to create golf courses. Maybe if users are given the ability to, devs could select/fine-tune courses to even add officially o:

15

For now it’s planned to have playermodels you can equip and items you can place at your condo.

I mean, that is how the workshop works for every game ever, so…yeah.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, I mean, not really.
Certain games instead handpick workshop submissions and implement them officially. Ex. TF2.

Wait. So Phase 2 will include custom playermodels… How would that work with hats and accessories in the game? Why buy them if you could just make them yourself?

20

I’m sure they’d still have to be accepted for use in game, that way to avoid lewd or flat-out lazily made playermodels.
Similar to the milk carton I’m sure certain cosmetics wouldn’t be compatible, however depending on rig (human skeleton) they would.

21

IIRC you’ll be able to download and use any of the models (I think they said so on the stream)
And it’s not like accessories are super expensive to begin with
