Draft documentation. This page is being verified against the current public SDK and may change before release.

Maps and server mods use one addon package, catalogue, enable state, conflict-resolution model, and distribution pipeline. An addon can contain maps, server mods, or both.

Author workflow

1. Produce a release export with the Vellocet SDK.
2. Resolve every validation error before publication.
3. Supply a title, description, preview image, content tags, and visibility.
4. Create or update the Workshop item through the supported publishing tools.
5. Accept the Steam Workshop legal agreement when Steam requests it.
6. Test subscribe, update, disable, unsubscribe, and clean-account installation paths.

Multiplayer delivery

Servers advertise the required addon identity and exact build. Clients must install and validate the matching package before completing the join flow. Server-only addon content is not delivered to clients unless the package also contains content required by the active session.
