Config.ini

All workshop items (characters, stages, and buddies) need a config.ini file to indicate which type of workshop item it is. This file also provides useful information about the workshop item. If this is configured incorrectly your character cannot be uploaded.

  • type0 for character, 1 for buddy, 2 for stage
  • name – the name of the workshop item
  • description – a short description of the workshop item. This can be left blank and edited via the Steam client
  • major version – must be manually updated in the config.ini file. Displayed on the Steam workshop page, so that people can track updated subscriptions
  • minor version – automatically updates every time you upload a new version of your item. Displayed on the Steam workshop page, so that people can track updated subscriptions
  • author – will override your Steam nickname if filled
  • url – in case you want to update an item that is already loaded into Steam workshop (instead of creating a new one), provide a link to it here. Include only the id part of the link (i.e. 1875062006). You can only update an item if you are its author, and this should be empty if you are uploading a new item.
  • rivals 2 contest – if set to 1, the item will be submitted with the Rivals 2 Contest Steam Workshop tag, a requirement for submissions to our Workshop Character Creation Contest.
  • finished – if set to 1, the item will be submitted with the Finished Steam Workshop tag, marking that your item is fully playable and not a WIP
  • plural – if set to 1, the results screen will display “win” instead of “wins,” similar to how it is for Ori & Sein
  • info1 – Page 1 of additional information about a character that you can read on the character select screen
  • info2 – Page 2 of additional information about a character that you can read on the character select screen
