My Creations (Library)

The My Creations page displays all of your "creations" that have been uploaded to the DOOM mod servers.

Mod States

---

State	Description
Published	A "published" mod is one that has been published to the DOOM Mod servers. These mods are publicly available to all users and can be "unpublished" at any time to remove them from public access.
Has unpublished changes	When a mod is labeled with "has unpublished changes", this means that it is a "published" mod with several "unpublished" (draft) changes that are not public yet. These changes will not be visible until the mod is published again.
Draft	A "draft" mod is any content that has been uploaded to the DOOM Mod servers but has not been made publicly available via the "publishing" process. Only you, the mod author, has access to your "draft" mods.

Mod State Changes

Making changes to your creations can, at times, become a little complex. While most actions are fairly self explanatory, there are some actions that will result in the creation changing its "state".

Actions that change a mod's state include:

Action	Description	State Change
Publish	Publishes a mod	Mods with a Draft or Has unpublished changes status are moved to a Published status.
Unpublish	Unpublishes a mod	Mods with a Published status are moved to a Draft status.
Edit Mod Data	Edits a mod's value (title, overview, description, tags)	Mods with a Published status are moved to a Has unpublished changes status.
Add/Edit/Delete an Image	Adds, edits or deletes an image (icon, cover, screenshot)	Mods with a Published status are moved to a Has unpublished changes status.
Create/Edit/Delete a Release	Creates, edits or deletes a release from a mod	Mods with a Published status are moved to a Has unpublished changes status.

Editing a Mod

---

When making updates to a mod's metadata, all changes are saved to a "draft" version of the mod. Think of this as a rough draft of your mod's data - this version is not visible to anyone but you, the mod author. To make any updates publicly available on the DOOM mod servers, the changes must be "published" through the publishing process.

Name

A mod's name is its visual identifier for users when they browse for your mod. A mod's name should be eye-catching, descriptive, and succinct.

Managing Mod Releases

---

Each release represents an individual version of the mod that can be downloaded by other users when published.

Each release of a mod has the following properties:

• A version
• A description
• Its release files

Creating a New Release

There are two ways to create a new release for a mod. The first method utilizes interactions between the DOOM Eternal Launcher and the idStudio development tools to create a new release for a mod. The second method leverages existing mod files on disk to directly create a release through the DOOM Eternal Launcher.

warning

It should be noted that all mod releases should be packaged by the idStudio tools before being uploaded to the DOOM mod servers.

Without this packaging step, the DOOM Eternal engine cannot read/load/recognize the mod and it will not get loaded at play time.

From idStudio:

1. Select your mod using the menu Mods → Change current mod... → {{mod name}}.
2. Edit your mod using idStudio.
3. Select the menu option Mods → {{mod name}} → Package Mod... to package your mod using idStudio.
4. On the "Package Mod" dialog, select the files from the file tree to package into your mod.
5. Click "Build Package".
6. On the confirmation dialog, click "Upload" to start the DOOM Eternal Launcher's "Create release wizard".
7. On the "new release wizard" in DOOM Eternal Launcher, enter data for:
   • The release version
   • The release description
8. Once satisfied, click "Create release".

From the DOOM Eternal Launcher:

1. Open the DOOM Eternal Launcher.
2. Click on the My Creations tab.
3. Sign into a valid Bethesda.net account.
4. Click on the My Creations page.
5. Select a mod from the mod list.
6. Select the RELEASES section to open the mod's release data.
7. Click the New Release button.
8. On the new release dialog, enter data for:
   • The release version
   • The release description
9. Select all required files for your mod using the Add individual files or Select existing mod folder buttons.
10. Once satisfied, click the Upload files button to upload the release to the mod servers.

warning

It is important to only upload files that have been packaged by idStudio to your mod release. Uploading loose files will result in a myriad of issues when launching a mod.

Editing Release Data

A release's version or description can be edited for "draft" mods.
