However, I’ve seen many reports that, for reasons unknown, NWN sometimes behaves as though workshop content is missing, whether connected to Steam or not.
NWN can then be played offline - the workshop content still appears. These folders are populated after the player subscribes to the workshop item, at some random time in the future when the player plays NWN with the Steam client active (not necessarily the next session).Īfter that, the folders remain populated - the Steam client can be disabled. This feature could allow Steam subscriptions to be used with Beamdog’s implementation.įinally, do you think this would be a useful feature or is it a waste of time?Īs it happens, Steam does copy workshop content to its own folders.Īccording to one article, for Windows the location is, at its most general, (directory where you installed Steam)\steamapps\workshop(string of numbers representing your account)\704450Īt any rate, within the 704450 folder is one cryptically-numbered folder per workshop items, with subfolders named in the same way as Documents. However, it seems that Beamdog are launching new content on Steam and not its own platform. Personally, I use Beamdog’s client to download content. It also means that NWN would be started directly instead of needing to use Steam to launch the game.
This means that NIT can be used to specify different User Folders for each defined Profile. My thoughts are for NIT to copy Workshop content to NIT’s mod store and allow users to install or uninstall the Workshop Mods. Does this mean that Steam only adds workshop content at run time and removes it when NWN is closed or does it add a third source of files (ie the Workshop folder)?ĭoes anyone have any additional information that could help in my endeavour?
Steam does not seem to copy workshop content to its own folders or the User folder (Documents\Neverwinter Nights). I am considering providing an option for the NWN Installer Tool (NIT) to manage Steam’s Workshop Content, but need to understand more about how it works.
