Publishing to Steam Workshop
☁️ Steam Workshop
Publish your audio mods to Steam Workshop directly from the AURIS launcher. Subscribers automatically download your mod.
First-Time Publishing
1. Create and Edit Your Mod
Follow the Creating Mods guide to create and edit your mod.
2. Click the Upload Button
In the Mods sidebar, click the cloud icon on your mod.
3. Enter Steam Username
Enter your Steam login username. Your password is entered directly into steamcmd (official Valve tool) — AURIS never sees it.
4. Approve on Steam Mobile
Check your Steam Mobile app for a login confirmation request. Approve it.
5. Wait for Upload
The console window shows the upload progress. Large mods (600MB+) may take a few minutes.
6. Done!
Your mod is live on Steam Workshop. The launcher shows the Workshop URL.
Updating Your Mod
After the first publish, the cloud button changes to Update Workshop.
- Edit your mod (replace samples, rebuild)
- Click the cloud icon → Update
- Changes are pushed to the same Workshop item
- All subscribers receive the update automatically
What Gets Uploaded
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
mod.info | Game reads this for mod name and description |
poster.png | Thumbnail shown in game's mod list |
*.ars | Audio bank(s) with your modifications |
fmodstudio_proxy.dll | AURIS proxy for .ars compatibility |
auris_meta.json | AURIS detection marker |
auris_check_*.lua | Lua script that checks for proxy installation |
For Subscribers
When someone subscribes to your mod:
- Steam downloads the mod automatically
- The mod appears in the game's mod selector
- They need AURIS Launcher installed for the proxy
- The Lua script shows a message if the proxy is not detected
- After installing AURIS, the mod works immediately
Steam Guard
- First upload: Steam Guard confirmation required (mobile app or email)
- Subsequent uploads: steamcmd uses cached credentials — just enter username
- Credentials are safe: password goes directly to steamcmd, never through AURIS
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| "File Not Found" error | Make sure the mod has at least one .ars file |
| Steam Guard timeout | Check Steam Mobile app immediately after clicking Upload |
| Upload stuck | Large files take time — wait for the console to show "Success" |
| Mod not visible in game | Restart the game after subscribing |
