Steam achievement for popular mods

Katzenfleisch

Hi,

Since UWE is planning to make achievement on NS2 I am wondering if it would be possible to provide some for mod as well. The goal would be to give more players to the mod but first to provide an ingame tutorial. For the exemple in the Faded there are a lots of hidden mechanics that are difficult to find if the players is unaware of them (like burning corpses, teamplay, attaching corpses to wall, grenades trap or a mine under a ragdoll, weapons alternate fire mode (GL pulse grenade, pistol flare, heavy shotgun double blast, etc)). Those achievement would definitly help a new comer to discover the mecanics in place and ease the integration process without having to read the guide first.

I am aware that it will needs a designer to make them, a description and coding to implement them but consider this as a simple idea for now

Are there other games on steam where mods have achievements? The idea seems solid, but i wonder if its technically speaking possible.

If any game on steam would, it would be Garry's Mod. I haven't looked at them though.

Mods can't have achievements. They have to be hooked up on the steamworks dev page, which very very few people have access to.
Fun fact, achievements have been hooked up engine and lua side for years, they just aren't set to unlock anything
