Shutdown or merge steam workshop


Recommended Posts

having two locations to find mods only adds unnecessary confusion. i suggest either shutting down the steam workshop because it excludes GOG players or at least making them one and the same.

the system needs work, that's all i'm saying. having two locations is just bad.

GOG players can still download content from the Steam Workshop.

It just takes a little bit more effort since GOG players aren't using Steam.

Steam Web API has a function called GetPublishedFileDetails from the interface ISteamRemoteStorage as a POST request.

An example case of using cURL to send a POST to this API function to poll the Minimap mod:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=188251898

curl -X POST -d "itemcount=1&publishedfileids[0]=188251898&format=json" http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamRemoteStorage/GetPublishedFileDetails/v0001/

Output as of this post:
