At the moment of writing, everyone seems to be unable to upload anything to the backend via the new game uploader |

It should give a more meaningful error now when you try to upload, which should let us know the problem |

I get this exception when trying to upload (Note the path should be D:\Steam\steamapps\common\sbox\addons\meowmapt3\code not D:\code) |

I fixed it, the path in my .addon was wrong, my mistake |

What mistake did you make, so I can defend against it in the future? |

It's still a problem #1566 (sorta spaced this discussion existing so I made an issue) |

Will there be a way to still make the games hidden on the main menu? Or just entirely disallow downloading once it's uploaded, by toggling it? (as you can still access with |

Like if you wanted your game to be private, except for people in the org? |

Yeah, being able to make it public/private (not showing up on the game browser after upload), or just being able to delete the latest build from s&box's backend if you don't wish your build to be downloaded anymore. |

That's what the previous upload panel on s&box's dev website allowed you to do in some way. |

You can still do that on the website |

Oh right the dev state is still here. My bad then thanks! Only thing left would just to be able to delete an upload I think, to entirely pluck download out s&box, apart from archiving the gamemode. |

My uploaded gamemode isn't able to be launched. Confirmed by another person as well. |

I fixed the bugs I could. It was down to 0 length files, then shaders not loading. The map now loads but I get an error about missing skybox vpk. |

Maps can no longer be marked as "Release" on the dev website as their upload is "not valid". |

Should be fixed now |

Yesterday when I tried updating my map, it fucked up my version upon a new upload. Today I redid these steps but before uploading again I restarted my game, and it seems to be working now. |

Another thing worth noting, if a map has a fucked up manifest and share materials with another map, it will also fuck it up after you tried to join the original map (the one above). |

And again another that has been reported on my map: I updated these window materials to another one in Hammer but I didn't compile the map yet, but the addon uploader looked at the reference in the vmap and didn't pack the previous material I had on the older vpk. |

Made an issue for something I ran into #1575 when uploading |

I've upgraded my gamemode to the new addon system and I'm experiencing parts of my gamemode not networking anymore. Exactly what this issue describes #1581 |

Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.

You can now upload your game addons using the same updated system that I rolled out for Maps yesterday (or the day before I forget). You can read more about the differences and the benefits for content here.
How do I upload my game now?
What's different for games?
Your code doesn't get uploaded and shipped to clients. We compile your code into an assembly and upload that like a regular file. This saves time for end users in terms of downloading a ton of .cs files, and compile time.
We also compile and upload a copy of the base addon, along with all of its html/scss with your upload. This should mean that if your addon relied on the base styles being a certain way, and then we change or delete that file, the shipped and packed version of your addon should still work.
This has potential downsides too. If we fix a bug in the base addon, your packed addon won't get that fix until you re-publish using the new base. This cuts both ways because maybe your code relied on that bug performing how it was performing so it won't break.
Is my code now super secret?
Kind of. It's less visible, but c# is quite easily decompiled, so I still wouldn't leave your credit card number in your code.
Is there danger in the assembly being shipped around?
There shouldn't be. We were already shipping assemblies from server to client, and that was safe because the assembly is scanned and run through a whitelist of functions they're allowed to use. Never say never though - please report anything you think could be exploited. We're being as vigilant as possible.
I liked it when we could easily see everyone's code
There's no reason that has to go away. People can still upload to github and whatever. But now if you're shy about your code you don't have to show it. It's a choice.
This is awesome you're so strong and smell great
Thanks, please report any problems with the new system below.
