Shadows of Forbidden Gods – How to Update Workshop Addons

A comprehensive explanation of the procedure for manually updating a mod’s version, along with explicit instructions on where to find the file.

Requisitos

It is highly recommended that you have Notepad++ installed to facilitate the opening and editing of files. También, make sure you have a working touchpad or mouse and keyboard.

File Location

To find the specific mod or mods you wish to update, you must navigate to your Steam directory. This directory is typically located at:

‪C:\Archivos de programa (x86)\Vapor

Depending on your installation, the location may vary. Una vez allí, navigate to the Steamapps subdirectory and then to the workshop folder. Within the workshop folder, locate and open the content folder. Here you will find the Workshop add-ons associated with your games. They are organized in numbered subdirectories, and the relevant one should be called 1741640.

Explore this directory and the subdirectories within it. Locate the mod files you want to update. The crucial file containing the version information is called mod_desc.json. It is important to identify the correct file, which can be challenging if you are subscribed to multiple Workshop addons, as they may have a similar naming format. Sin embargo, con paciencia, you will find it. Open the file with Notepad++ to access its contents, which should resemble the following format

{
"displayedName": "Godmode Cheats and Testing Tools",
"prefijo": "modo dios",
"versionsSupported": ["0.6", "0.7", "0.8", "1.0"],
"modCredit": "RobynTheDevil"
}

If you access the file using the Godmode addon developed by RobynTheDevil, you must follow the formatting shown and add the current version number of the game to the list of supported versions. Note that the example addon has already been updated, so this is a useful reference. cuando hayas terminado, remember to save your work, close and quit the Notepad++ application. Then launch the game and enable the mod in the Workshop Addons list. Como resultado, any outdated addons you may have been using should now work properly and no longer display a «version incompatible» mensaje.

Conclusión

Con un poco de suerte, this information is useful. Además, for the full file path (recognizing that it may vary based on your file system configuration), it should resemble the following

‪C:\Archivos de programa (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1741640\2802103561

Omitting the period, por supuesto. Además, the init file and other relevant files can be used to modify the values that the mods change, at least for this particular game. Sin embargo, if you have the expertise at this point, you may be better off creating your own addon for the game.
