Here's the whole post:
Attention all Civilization V modders!
As you may have heard, Civilization V is coming to the Steam Workshop in the next patch (the one accompanying the release of the Gods & Kings expansion.) This new, more feature-rich mod database will replace the current one. As such, we would like to give you early access to the Workshop so you can make sure all of your awesome mods will be available the day we switch over.
Keep in mind that this is the beta version of this patch! While it's very close to final, it might get updated before the patch is publicly released.
There are three steps you need to follow to get access to the beta:
- To access the beta version of the Civilization V Patch, Right-click on the game in steam, select "Properties", then select the "Betas" tab, then select "PCBETA" from the pull-down, and type "pcbeta1702" in the password box. You must click "Verify Password" before leaving this screen.
- For the SDK Tools beta, Right-click on the SDK in steam (from the Tools list), select "Properties", then select the "Betas" tab, then select "Beta" from the pull-down, and type "sdkbeta" in the password box. You must click "Verify Password" before leaving this screen.
- Finally, to get access to the actual Steam Workshop, we need to add you to a special group in Steam. Please send an email to CivWorkshop@2KGames.com with the subject "Steam Workshop Beta" and in the body put your Steam ID. You can find your Steam ID in the upper-left of the Steam window when it is running. We will send you a group invite via Steam. Once you accept that invite, you'll be able to see the Civilization V section in the Steam Workshop. (note: please only request access to this if you are actually a mod developer! This is a manual process and it will slow down the more people request access, and I really want to let the modders get a chance to populate the database
)
So there you have it! Check it out, get your mods in the database, and please let me know if you have any issues. I'll be busy at E3 for the next few days, but the devs will be watching the thread for your comments.
(One final note: Are you not a modder, but want to check out the beta patch? Feel free! Just follow the first bullet point above to get access. The only thing I request you hold off on is requesting access to the Workshop itself, for the reason stated above. Happy civving!)
Have fun!
