If I were to start making a gamemode in the PTR, after this patch is released to live will the codes created in PTR be usable in the new version?
I don’t want to take the time to create a new game just for it to be wiped away because the code only works in PTR.
Not sure about the share codes, but something that will likely work is pasting the script on live servers from a text file (if the update goes live without major changes). You can copy the entire script + all custom game mode settings with a single button on the lobby screen now and then save it as text.

You can copy the rules, save them in a text file, then paste em on live server

Wow, so I could of been using GitHub this whole time to make games.
I feel really dumb for not knowing that, thank you!
Just in case, I’d highly recommend saving out your Custom Game Settings to a text file (via the new copy-paste buttons in the Custom Game Settings), which includes your settings as well as your Workshop Script. When the patch goes live, you can just import everything back in!

Oh, so it is a new feature, awesome.
Let me just say as a software developer myself I can really appreciate the work you guys have put into this. Giving developers this much power is something not many other modern games do.
Thanks for all the work you do!

Oh I remember spending lots of time on the Workshop PTR when the Workshop first came out, and I was really bummed when none of my gamemodes were saved into live. It’s really good to know that the settings can be saved to a text file.
