Are there any Tripwire sanctioned guides on how to make the proper script source to go with the file you intend to upload?

Ok, after the small update the tool launches. But it crashes when trying to upload a KFM file, scripts box is empty. Title and JPG preview are present

WSTOOL:
Failed OnShareFile
Error uploading file. Make sure you got a valid connection to Steam.
[Mar 10, 2:08 PM] COMMANDLET 'WorkshopUserTool.exe wsinfo_mod.txt' SUCCEEDED

I get a similar message each time I attempt to upload a new file. One got up successfully, but the rest fail. It makes a blank, untitled entry in the workshop.
A restart of the SDK and Steam does nothing.
any fix?

I didn't run a dedicated server for KF1 so sorry if this is something simple. When running a KF2 server, if I subscribe to a workshop map using the method show in the OP, will I still need to manually add a map entry for it in PCServer-KFGame.ini in order to see it in WebAdmin? Or will that happen automatically? Thanks in advance.

Does this mean that if server browser or matchmaking accidentally puts me on a custom map or a friend invites me who's on a custom map, my map roster will be filled with the custom stuff?

Ditto. I am trying to test a couple of maps and Be the Zed mod and cannot figure out how to activate them on my public server beyond adding the lines to the ini file. Firing up my server and web admin, I see nothing there to do this with.

Would be cool to have the wiki tutorial expand on this step.

After you installed the Workshop maps, to make the map visible in webadmin, add the map informations in the PCServer-KFGame.ini like before. Check the map file name in your KFGame/Cache/ folder to be sure of the exact name.

Awesome!! Can Download the Grindhouse winners!

Which map would you recommend ?

I got the Nuke map in the workshop. Pretty cool.

I want to point out that after installing a map with the workshop on steam, I was indeed able to play it on solo offline. But, after the game, when the "map votting" screen started, I saw that the map from the workshop did not appear, so I had to go back to the main page.

Is it intended to only show "official" map on the map selection after a game ?

It seems like every time you push through an update it gets broken! It is an important tool that enables my community to see whats new and updated ...kinda like this site , you know what I mean? Thanks!
