info.json

thumb.pngAs an example, let's look at the mod "Example: Editing Genres":

Step 1

Place your mod's folder inside this folder:

PC: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\Mods\Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Glitch Pitch/Idol Manager/Mods/

Step 2Launch the game, open "Mods" menu, click "Upload" on your mod:

Step 3Verify that all of the information is correct. If you need to, you can enter "change note" text, which will be displayed in the "Change notes" log on your mod's page. Click upload:

Step 4If everything went okay, you should see a message popup with a link to your mod:

Click the "your Steam workshop page" link.

Step 5After following the link to go to the Steam workshop page, change mod's visibility from "Hidden" to "Public" when you're ready to publish it and show it to the world!

Step 1Place the new version of your mod in the Mods folder:

PC: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\Mods\Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Glitch Pitch/Idol Manager/Mods/

Step 2Go to the Steam workshop page for your mod and make sure you are Subscribed to it.

Step 3Updating your mod will overwrite the description on the Steam workshop page with the description in your mod's info.json, so if you want to keep a record of the old version, copy the text on the Workshop page and save a copy somewhere.

Step 4Launch the game and open the "Mods" menu. You should see two copies of your mod: Steam and local.

Note: if you're having difficulty telling them apart, look for the Steam logo next to the name of the mod:

Additionally, the button under the local version should be "Upload," while the button under the Steam version should be "Upload update."

Step 5On the Steam version of the mod, click "Upload Update"

Step 6Enter "Change note" text if needed. Select the local version of your mod and click "upload":

Success!
