Workshop Update - January 9, 2014

Wyk

Here are the prominent changes that Workshop artists need to keep track of that are live as of the current update.

- Wraith King now added to the Workshop.
- A checkbox has now been added for the Spring 2014 event directly to the publish page. This should fix the previous issues with the submissions.
- Legion Commander's budgets now shown on the Workshop.
- Updated budgets for Ember Spirit, Storm Spirit and Dazzle.
- Added Stone Summons slot and budget for Earth Spirit.
- Updated body texture for Pudge.
- Updated workshop files, including separated fbx and smd, for Lone Druid, Earth Spirit, Faceless Void, Nature's Prophet/Treants, Invoker/Forge Spirits and Riki.
- Alpha test enabled for Nature's Prophet Treants.
- New courier animation requirement - flying couriers must be sunk into the ground after a death crash. Valve is applying this fix where needed to couriers that have already been accepted.

News post is just on Steam, no need to repost everywhere.

Well if everyone does check there and it's not needed here, then it's okay. Reported it already. One of the mods will remove it for me. Thanks.

Is there any way to add tags to a submission? It would be nice to be able to check something as a Spring 2014 entry without having to republish it...

vlad being vlad lel.

Cool they added wraith king to the workshop, to the conceptz we go.

Bruno Afonseca

Thanks for the info buddy

Seems like that patch broke the ingame compiler. Every model is gray now! Perfect timing :O

Do I have to resubmit my items to do this!?

Thanks for taking the time to repost this Wyk ! Right now with the deadline rushing in it's always good to make sure that all the relevant information gets passed around - especially the added slots and modified budgets.

Sucks to hear about the exporter breaking tho - this is the *one* thing that they should absolutely not mess with at the moment Here's to hope for a quick fix.

Which hero is it broken on? I just compiled a piece and loads well for me. Everything seems to be in place.

I was also unable to get the import to work properly after the patch. All the items import with a black diffuse.

I tried to re-import items that worked just fine yesterday and they displayed this issue as well.
Loading items exported with the exporter before last nights patch seem to function fine.

Nannou

@Wyk, I only tested warlock and LC, but seems like most of the heroes are broken. This is how it looks like

LordTrygve

I'm having the same problem just now, all of my models get imported as totally greyed out. Even old stuff that used to import just fine is broken, so I'm really confused.

Darren Pinard

I believe this is a know issue with the importer since the patch last night.

Xajai

Yeah, i had the same issue with brewmaster, the test client works fine tho!

Sukotto

Can we still publish submissions using the test client?

shannxn

Oh damn, after the update there's something wrong with my importer as well, items imported has turned into a black surface shader. NOOOOOOOOOO!! THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT TIME TO BE PLAYING GAMESSS! SUBMISSION IS A FEW DAYS AWAYYYY :poly118:

DotaFX

We can resume our work using the test client but we will need the main client to publish the items, DAMMIT its already 11th!!

Probably a newbie question: Why do you want to use the test client?

pior

I can confirm that it is broken on my end too.

Polar : it seems like the test client is not having the import issues that the regular client has been experiencing since yesterday. However there's no guarantee that a submission performed through Test goes through fine either (in terms of it being processed properly down the pipe)

Here is to hope that the change, once fixed, will bring material consistency between loadout view, third person view and final Valve-implemented asset. Been burned hard by this last month, it would be a shame for this to affect us in this event too ...
