2K/Firaxis adds the Steam Workshop to civ 5

Cross posting in case people in this section of the forums aren't following the Gods and Kings subforum.

One highlight in there is that modders will get the ability to access it early to migrate/update mods before GaK is launched.

Seems a good news, a comment system was lacking in the current mod hub... Does anyone knows if there is a size limit for files in the workshop?

100 Mb?

I think it's tied to your 'cloud' storage within steam.

Directions on how to get BOTH the new SDK patch and Workshop access (manual, so don't ask for it if you're not a modder planning on moving a mod over) AND for getting access to the Civ 5 beta patch (anyone can get this).

I'd sure like to know the extent of added Lua functions in the beta patch. If any modders have downloaded this, you can see all functions for an object with code like this (just type into live tuner; you have to get a valid object first, as I have done here for plot and player):

plot = Map.GetPlot(0, 0)
for k, v in pairs(getmetatable(plot).__index) do print(k) end

player = Players[0]
for k, v in pairs(getmetatable(player).__index) do print(k) end

etc...

Hope someone dumps these to the forum here so we can speculate...

Edit: Alternatively, look in ModBuddy/Help/Civ5LuaAPI.html after patching. But there is no guarantee that beta patch additions to the game will be reflected by beta patch update to ModBuddy help.

Darn, I was hoping to get a sneak peak at some G&K stuff, or maybe improvements to vanilla modding (like player:ChangeRelationship).

Looks like they removed ScriptData again.

Just kidding

I guess the discussion should be continued here, so that everyone sees what you're talking about.
