Getting Set Up

 To publish a slab you currently require an account with mod.io.
mod.io is a service we use to host the official TaleSpire mod repository. 
In future we want to have community hosted mod repositories too. 
 You may also want to link an additional authentication method.

We prefer adding Steam as it allows TaleSpire to authenticate with mod.io using your Steam account, making for a nice experience.

You can click this link to open the linked accounts page
You then need to tell TaleSpire how to authenticate with mod.io.

To do this, open the Settings panel, switch the Modding tab, and choose your sign-in method.

  • We currently support:
  • Steam
  • Email & Password
  • Auth via Device: This shows a QR code which you can scan with your phone. You then log into mod.io on your phone and TaleSpire is automagically authenticated
  • Auth Via Browser: This lets you sign into mod.io in the browser, at which point TaleSpire will be given approval

Then just follow the steps to authenticate your account.

pro-gamer-top-tip: Steam is the easiest way to authenticate if you linked your account in the last step.

How to publish your own slabs (for real this time)


Here is a quick overview of both publish and editting a slab. You can find a breakdown of all the steps below

1.

Enter build mode and select the tiles and props you want to share using the normal selection tool.

2.

Click the "Publish" button in the building tools panel

3.

  • Frame your thumbnail image using the normal move controls.
  • Fill in the required details
  • Maybe choose whether the slab is public or private.
  • Click "Upload" to begin publishing

4.

Wait as the upload progresses

5.

Close the publish tool.
You can also click the "Visit mod in web browser" button to head to the mod.io page for your slab. 
There are a bunch of things you can't do from inside TaleSpire yet, so the site is very helpful. 

6.

Bask in the awesomeness of your new creation!

How to modify info about your slab

  1. Open the community mods browser
  2. Go to the published mods category
  3. Choose the slabs repository
  4. Click the pen icon to enter edit mode for the mod
5. Edit the details you wish to change
6. Press the "Update" button to start applying the change 

Note on modifying slab info

There are (currently) not many things about the slab that can be changed inside TaleSpire. 
You can also click the world icon to open the mod.io page for your creation. There you have full control.
