Welcome to the TaleWeaver Lite Beta
Content Flags
To add content flags to your mini, select either "Yes" or "No" on each of the categories. "Yes" will add the corresponding flag to your model, "No" will add nothing.
All categories have to be answered.

Publishing
Once all required data is entered and all changes are saved, click on the publish button at the bottom of the creature editor panel to open the publisher.
While the publisher is open, the creature editor is disabled and cannot be interacted with.

The first time you open the publisher, it will prompt you to log in to mod.io. Once logged in, you'll see the Upload UI. After all required info is entered, the upload button will be clickable. Once pressed, TaleWeaver Lite will automatically upload your creature to mod.io.
Updating Existing Minis
TaleWeaver Lite will automatically keep track of minis you uploaded with it and instead of showing you the initial upload UI, will show you an update UI. However, minis uploaded outside of TaleWeaver Lite (including minis created and uploaded before TaleWeaver Lite received uploading capabilities), will not be detected. To update such a mini through the Publisher, you can enter the URL to your mini in the input field shown here, then press Load. If TaleWeaver Lite can find the mini under this URL, it will go into update mode and remember this for the future.
Note: When manually providing a URL, TaleWeaver will not check what has been uploaded to said URL before and will upload whatever mini you provide there instead. Make sure you upload to the right submission profile!
In case you do upload to the wrong profile by accident, the old file will still be there and you can download it by going to the version history on the mod.io website.

Updating a Mini
When updating an already uploaded mini, you can edit individual sections without affecting the others.
Basic info (name, summary, description, homepage and visibility status), Media (logo and extra gallery images) and Creature File can be edited individually.
The Update Media option replaces existing images with the selected ones. If no new images are selected it just deletes already uploaded ones.
The last section updates the creature file and content flags. You can enter a new version number and changelog here to be uploaded with the new creature data.
Publisher Templates
When you're uploading a lot of minis, there are a few fields you might want to always have the same or similar data, like a common description template, or a link to your personal website. You can set these in TaleSpire -> Publisher Settings -> Templates.
Bulk Updating
If you have many minis already uploaded that you may want to update all at once, we now also provide a bulk updater that is capable of editing most of a creature's data. To open it go to the "TaleSpire" section in the top menu, the click "Bulk Updater".
The bulk updater currently only supports updating minis.
The bulk updater currently only supports updating minis.
The bulk updater has a search area for searching and sorting all your uploaded submissions. You can sort by name or date, both ascending and descending, select a page size and enter a name to filter for that name. To update the results, press "Find".
Below you can mass select the found submissions. In the results list you can also select individual entries for updating by pressing their checkbox on the left side.
Once a submission is selected you can edit its name, the attached homepage and whether it's public or hidden. You can also see the current version of the uploaded file and all content flags set for this mini.
To change the content flags, check "Replace Flags" in the toolbar, then select the appropriate content flags for your selection. You can also enter a new version and changelog info for the new creature file.
If you don't select "Replace Flags", the bulk updater will only update the mod.io metadata, and will not change anything about the .tsMod files itself.
If you do select "Replace Flags", the bulk updater will update any changes to the mod.io metadata, and download the currently active mod file, add/replace its content flags with the ones selected in the bulk updater, save and reupload the now edited .tsMod (and, if necessary, upgraded) file back to mod.io.
Note: If there are more results than your page size, you can use the page buttons below the toolbars to switch through result pages, but your selection will be cleared when switching between pages!
