Addon tag will get depreciated, use Mod instead
Gekon posted a topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS - CONFIGS & SCRIPTING
Hi there, with the upcoming Steam Workshop for mods, we will change how files are stored on Workshop, allowing more files to be uploaded for both new and old items. This means that a single addon (file) item now published on the Workshop will be able to become a mod (more files), and go back to a single file addon again, depending solely on its author, as it should be. This also means the addon tag will effectively become irrelevant, because there will be no difference between addons and mods. Therefore we want to get rid of addon tag and use only tag mod as a general notification for non-mission user content. We believe this is more clear and more useful to the players. What should you do? In short: nothing. Ideally, we don't want you to notice. :) The expected functionality should remain unchanged for all users. I am posting this mostly for the sake of transparency. What will we do? Update all existing Workshop files tagged with addon to also include tag mod . Update Publisher to auto-include tag mod . Update Launcher to display mods in Mod list (addon list will be renamed to mod list). Implement the new SteamWorks SDK that allow multiple files per published item. Publish versions with the new SDK to Stable branch. When everything is working, remove addon tag from all mod files and delete it from Steam back-end. Note (5.): Don't expect this change before version 1.38.
