Create Packaging Profile
On the main toolbar, click on SIK > Create/Reset Packaging Profile. This will create a new packaging profile for your project.
We use packaging profile so that you can play with the settings and modify them according to your needs.
You should now see a new packaging profile in the Packaging Profiles section and you can modify the settings according to your needs.
Login to Steamworks Backend
To generate a token for the One Click Package and Deploy feature, you need to login to the Steamworks backend.
On the main toolbar, click on SIK > Login to Steamcmd. This will open a popup window where you need to enter your SteamGuard code (if enabled) and then click on Login.
Please check the output log to see if the login was successful.
This is a one-time process and you don't need to login again unless you logout or the token expires.
Package and Deploy
Now we are done! To package and deploy your Steam Build, click on SIK > Package and Deploy. This will start the packaging process and you can check the output log to see the progress.
