Ahh there it go. I didn't know had to rename the file as 'preview', that step I was missing. Thanks for updating. I have updated the modification and the thumbnail seems to be working now. Going to need to wait till Steam analyze the preparation setup.

Thank you!

I added screenshots to the guide.

[BestWay]Nobu [author] 22 Jan @ 11:43pm

Sure, no worries.

Ok, thanks but my modification is not much of a big deal. I'm not going pass your offer just going to try another day.

Lil C]-[ew C]-[ew is ☂д☂ , upload your mod to Google Drive. I'll look into it, and help you upload it to Steam Workshop.

Is not working as should. I had to delete the modification locally and at the workshop as well because info.mod got corrupted for trying to make thumbnail be visible.
There must be a ''best way'' to fix this complicated method to upload onto Steam workshop with all images visible otherwise I had enough for today.
