# Release Script
|
||||
|
||||
TODO
|
||||
The release script `ue4-release.ps1` takes previously packaged builds (see
|
||||
[Packaging Script](./Package.md)) and uploads them to publishing services;
|
||||
currently Itch.io and Steam.
|
||||
|
||||
You will need to install the [Steamworks SDK](https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/sdk)
|
||||
to release on Steam, and the [Itch Butler tool](https://itch.io/docs/butler/) to
|
||||
release on Itch.
|
||||
|
||||
This script uses configuration stored in [`packageconfig.json`](./PackageConfig.md).
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ue4-release.ps1 -version:ver -variants:v1,v2 -services:steam,itch [-src:sourcefolder] [-dryrun]
|
||||
|
||||
-version:ver : Version to release; must have been packaged already
|
||||
-variants:var1,var2 : Name of variants to release. Omit to use DefaultVariants
|
||||
-services:s1,s2 : Name of services to release to. Can omit and rely on ReleaseTo
|
||||
setting of variant in packageconfig.json
|
||||
-src : Source folder (current folder if omitted), must contain packageconfig.json
|
||||
-dryrun : Don't perform any actual actions, just report what would happen
|
||||
-help : Print this help
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Uploading all builds at once
|
||||
|
||||
The only mandatory argument is the version number. With only that argument,
|
||||
the script will process all the [default variants](./PackageConfig.md#defaultvariants)
|
||||
for this project and release any which have [release settings](./PackageConfig.md#defaultvariants).
|
||||
This allows you to push all your builds for a given version at once.
|
||||
|
||||
## Uploading more selectively
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively you can limit the packages you upload using the `-variants` and
|
||||
`-services` arguments; if supplied, only matching variants and publishing services
|
||||
will be processed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
This script will call the Itch `butler` tool and/or the Steam `steamcmd` tool.
|
||||
These have their own authentication; you will be prompted as needed but if you
|
||||
want to guarantee no prompts during running, you should log in to the services
|
||||
on the command line beforehand.
|
||||
|
||||
### Logging in to Itch
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
butler login
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Your Itch authentication will be stored for future use after logging in.
|
||||
|
||||
### Logging in to Steam
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
steamcmd +login user_name
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `SteamLogin` setting in [`packageconfig.json`](./PackageConfig.md)
|
||||
should be the same as the username you log in with here.
|
||||
|
||||
## When builds go live
|
||||
|
||||
There is some variation on when players can see your uploaded packages:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Itch**: Packages go live as soon as Itch finishes processing them
|
||||
* **Steam**: Packages sit in the release queue until you explicitly release them
|
||||
via the Steamworks web interface
