You may just stumble across the next big thing and help it grow.

Counter-Strike, Dota 2, and Team Fortress all began their life as mods.

Some mods can even grow into full stand-alone commercial products. Supporting mods means supporting their authors, and encouraging them to update their existing mods and make more and better mods in the future. Other mods may add expansive community-created content equaling hours of new gameplay and storyline, or even an entirely new game built from the ground up. Many mods are free and range in scope from smaller changes here or there to entirely new items, characters, maps, or missions. Steam makes it easy to find and try these mods for any game in your library that supports modding. Whether it's adding new graphical features, crafting new items, or creating new stories, mods can breathe new life into games of all types. Fans, hobbyists, and aspiring game developers from around the world can add to or modify their favorite games by creating "mods". Worth noting: Whenever a mission is updated, it is re-uploaded, assigned a new ID, and re-downloaded by all subscribers.Your favorite games don't need to end just because you've finished them. So a mission can be "referenced" by that (HAH!). Those numbers are the file's "Workshop ID", for lack of a variable name. If you do not, the mission will not display in the MP lobby, although it was downloaded.Īlso, about the folder names with the long numbers that you see in ugc\referenced. IE, when publishing an MP mission, you swap the tag that says Multiplayer. The reason some of y'all are having problems with the subscribed mission showing up in the host menu is because the mission displays wherever you have the tags for it. That is why the image is there, and why they don't disappear.Įdit 3: Last edit. My assumption is my original directory, the 107410, is where files go when you publish/upload them via ArmA 3 to the Workshop. Anybody have some elaboration on this?Įdit 2: Ah. However, after unsubscribing and relaunching Steam and ArmA, those files still remain in the folder.
