Steam Workshop support and Portuguese in publicbeta (v89)
I've enabled Steam Workshop support! I meant to release it last weekend but got a bit carried away making an example story to demonstrate how it works. Anyway, in v88 (in the publicbeta branch) you can now download a mod from the workshop (which I'm referring to as a Story), and you can create your own stories in the editor and upload them to the workshop! ːsteamhappyː
There are still a lot of editor features that need adding, such as the ability to create rivers, and making this small map also drove home the need for much more variation in building types. Also please note: you can use the editor to create new stories with their own maps, quests, dialog and so on. You can't really create new weapons (unless they use the same model as an existing weapon) or new houses, props etc. I know a lot of people want to be able to do that! So this is just a start with hopefully a bunch more features to come in future.
Here's the full change list for v88:
These features will be available in the "publicbeta" branch for a while first, before pushing them to the main game. If you want to try the latest features as they come out (and help test them!) it's a good idea to start using that branch. But keep in mind:
I'm also moving v87 into the main branch! Here's the changelist from v87 again:
Let me know how it goes. I will be updating my editor guide shortly to explain the new features, let me know if you have questions.
EDIT - there was a bug in v88 where roving hordes and raiders etc weren't spawning in Sandbox mode, so I've released v89 to fix that. v89 also includes Portuguese! Many thanks to Carlos 'Reaction' Vicenzi for translating it ːsteamhappyː

Here's the full change list for v88:
- Added button in Editor menu to create a new story, and a bunch of small editor features and fixes
- Added the ability to upload stories, created in the editor, to the Steam Workshop
- Fixes for characters getting stuck if they are unable to reach a well or a river when trying to get water
- Fix for people's mouths not moving when talking in CJK languages
- Translation fixes
- Crash fix
These features will be available in the "publicbeta" branch for a while first, before pushing them to the main game. If you want to try the latest features as they come out (and help test them!) it's a good idea to start using that branch. But keep in mind:
- Because it's the bleeding edge it'll be less stable
- If you want to be able to play online co-op with someone you'll need to be on the same version as them
- If you go back from the "publicbeta" branch to the main branch you may not be able to load savegames created on "publicbeta".
I'm also moving v87 into the main branch! Here's the changelist from v87 again:
- Added Korean and Japanese translations, and partial French (UI only)
- Added outlines and fixed some bugs with the Asian fonts
- Added fonts that support Polish characters
- Added a bunch of small features to improve translations
- Added Pause/Resume options for movement zones
- Added a box next to the progress indicator that shows how much of each material you have used when building something
- Fixes for gate and equipment policy dialogs not working with gamepads
- Various fixes for equipment policy
- Fix for icons getting mixed up if you have a large number of clothes in one building
- Fix for maps sometimes being generated with no zombie or rabbit spawnpoints on them
- Fixed various bugs regarding height of overhead icons
- Crash fixes
Let me know how it goes. I will be updating my editor guide shortly to explain the new features, let me know if you have questions.
