Server FAQ
The common questions about the tools, the launcher and modding in general.
Accounts and projects
Do I need an account to browse or download mods?
You can browse projects and download published files without an account. An account is needed to publish and manage projects.
Why is there no "sign in" button?
Currently, only authorized people get an account for mod uploads.
Launcher and downloads
What is the DeltaLauncher?
The DeltaLauncher is a custom Stormworks mod loader. The main purpose is to allow custom code mods.
Does the DeltaLauncher install mods directly into my Stormworks?
No. DeltaLauncher creates a 'mods' directory in your stormworks install, containing all of your downloaded mods. When you run Stormworks with the DeltaLoader, it injects all of your active mods into the game. Not even the assets, like meshes or islands are placed in your actual game. Your game itself will stay 100% vanilla at all time.
How can I create a mod?
If you are interested in creating your own Stormworks mod with this system, just ask on our Discord Server or write either @shayans, @quatrogamer or @malionaro a dm on Discord. We will ask a few questions, possibly check out some of your earlier projects and provide you access to the source code, allowing you to make your own mods! Please note that you will need to have at least basic knowledge of C++.
Safety and support
Where can I find the source code?
Currently, the source code is not fully publically available. This is due to safety concerns because our system makes building a hack client or anything else harmful pretty easy. However, if you want to use it for modding purposes, just follow the instructions from the 'mods' question just over this one.
Something is not working. What should do?
If it's something about this site, the DeltaLauncher or one of the Stormworks Extra Mods, please let us know on our Discord Server. If it's something related to one of the other mods, please contact the mod maker.
