Steam and Workshop

GSP keeps Steam Workshop behavior in the dedicated steam_workshop module.

Current Module Scope

• user-facing Workshop installs and uninstalls
• Workshop search and item lookup
• admin Workshop XML profile management
• copying Workshop configuration settings between XML files

Important Paths

• Panel/Panel/modules/steam_workshop/
• Panel/Panel/modules/steam_workshop/game_configs/
• Panel/Panel/modules/config_games/server_configs/

Confirmed Behavior

• the dedicated Workshop module is the active Workshop path in the current panel
• the admin copy feature is for copying configuration settings only
• installed mods, mod folders, and game server files are not the payload of that copy feature
• blank File Path means config-file editing is skipped

Workshop Config Copy Rule

The copy source selector should submit a safe XML filename value, and the handler should validate that filename before reading from game_configs/.

GSP Game XML Support

Current game XML includes a schema-level workshop_support block for Workshop-enabled templates.

See:

• Game Template XML
• XML Schema and Validation

Notes

• do not move Workshop behavior back into addonsmanager
• Workshop configuration copying should not touch the game home directory
