[INFO] How to fix dependencies when using Steam Workshop

[Orrie_]

Took about 8 years before I discovered how to fix the dependencies object getting mauled when uploading to the Steam Workshop.
You have to include escaped quotation marks inside the dependency entry, as this prevents the .mod parser from completely removing them, but still allows the game to run.

Example using one of my "More Doctrines" mods:

name = "More Doctrines with Reformation - 9"
path = "mod/reformation_more_doctrines_nine"
dependencies = {
    "\"A Bigger Interface\""
    "\"After the End Fan Fork\""
    "\"Ancient Religions Reborn\""
    "\"Historical Immersion Project\""
    "\"Elder Kings\""
    "\"Reformation Reform\""
}
tags = {
    Pagan Reformation Reformations Doctrines Gui Interface
}

Will turn into this after downloading from the workshop:

name="More Doctrines with Reformation - 9"
archive="mod/reformation_more_doctrines_nine.zip"
dependencies=
{
    "A Bigger Interface" "After the End Fan Fork" "Ancient Religions Reborn" "Historical Immersion Project" "Elder Kings" "Reformation Reform"
}
tags=
{
    Pagan Reformation Reformations Doctrines Gui Interface
}
picture="thumbnail.jpg"

Yay!

Thanks for the info! I'll remember this when I re upload something.

Speaking of dependencies people are reporting there's an issue with your 4 doc mod and African Religions Overhaul. I haven't tried it myself though.

Wasn't aware about that.

Edit:
Oh you're probably thinking about this one; https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1566049894
Not my mod.

Sorry for the confusion. That's good news because I feel 4 is the sweet spot .

I do have my own 4 doctrine mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1976966754

And you have to do this every time you have to update the mod?

Yes, it appears so.
