Steam Workshop Warframe Tennogen Tool

Steam Workshop Warframe TennoGen Tool
========================================

This thread contains information regarding known issues, workarounds, and update notes for the Warframe TennoGen tool.

The Warframe TennoGen tool is located in the Steam tools library. You may access the Steam tools library by hovering over LIBRARY near the top of the Steam client, then selecting TOOLS.

==============================

Installation:

Under the tools category in your Steam library, double click the Warframe TennoGen tool to install it.

Alternatively, copy and paste this Steam url into your browser: steam://install/396050

==============================

Known Issues and Workarounds:

1. Grey screen and non-responsive buttons when opening the Warframe TennoGen tool.

The tool uses an embedded Chromium browser to drive the viewer and uploader UI. Your system may not support the level of WebGL that is required to display the viewer content. Ensure you have the latest video card drivers installed for your system.

The requirements for webgl in our application are listed on this page in the Chrome section: https://www.khronos.org/webgl/wiki/BlacklistsAndWhitelists

If updating video card drivers does not work, a possible solution is to add --ignore-gpu-blacklist to the command line arguments of the tool in Steam.

2. The poly counts in the bottom left corner of the viewer are not accurate.

This will be patched in the next release.
Fixed in build id 844894.

3. Error 15 or error 2 when uploading items.

If you run into this error, it can most likely be resolved by reinstalling the TennoGen tool. If that does not solve the error, make a post here and we'll try to assist you.

Any ETA on that release? Also, any chance a feature could be added where we could import from our saved file, in order to keep our existing color settings in the tool?

 

Hopefully early next week. We also have a save/load viewer state feature planned for the release after. The exported zip file from the viewer contains colour codes in the json file if you would like to see your previously used colours.

 

I did both of those things but it didnt work, i got the same thing.

 

SteamAPI init failure is a pretty general error from Steam and it can be caused by random things from our perspective. The Steam network being down could affect whether there is a SteamAPI failure or not. Try running Steam with administrator privileges though, that may fix it.

So we'll be able to update our files before DE makes their decisions on our skins on Nov 6?

Can I make a request for a feature? I'd like to be able to link the colors on the helmet and body so that they are the same.

 

I'd also like a much more accurate color picking tool that gives us the RGB HSV and Hex values for colors, so that we can be precise about the colors that we're picking, since I assume the colors we pick in the tool will be the default colors of the skin.

@DESIzzlingCalamari I was wondering regarding not being able to add a picture in the upload screen, would it be because I have not filled out the payment information yet, which I have to admit, makes me a little uncomfortable giving my banking information to a third party?

 

You actually need to fill that information out for you to receive payment (yes, it's cash, not platinum) for any accepted skins.

While filling out your payment information is required for submitting to the workshop, being able to open the "Add Image" dialog sounds like an odd Windows error. Does the content path selection dialog show?

Hey! Are we supposed to be able to opt into the test version of this tool Build Id 841826, which has some of the upcoming features? Either way, there's a slight mix up with it. The icons for thumbs up and thumbs down are swapped (they're in the wrong place).
