      The mod should work with workshop maps too with the version 1. 2. 2 scripts file. If you encounter a workshop map that doesn't work with haptics, you can find an addon named bHaptics in your in-game addons list. Enable that. Note that it also requires Scalable Init Support from steam workshop to work.
