Problem Description

Issue

I have a modlist that I want to add to the server. I updated the parameters.txt file with the steamID of each mod that I want already. But when connecting to the server, there is no trace of any mods being loaded.

Upon entering the server, the user is prompted to select a map, just like a vanilla game.

My parameters.txt file contains the following text:

-mod=450814997;497660133;843425103;843577117;497661914;843632231;843593391;945476727;1180533757;1673456286;463939057;333310405;2034363662;2132195038;1703187116;1224892496;541888371;583496184;583544987;853743366;1981964169;413463022;2096950604;3020755032
-clientMod=861133494;825179978;2595680138;1180534892;1486541773;2946868556;2947745583;825181638;1397683809;632435682;2791403093

Reproduction Steps

  • connect to the server via direct connect (using the primary endpoint link)
  • Wait for the game to start up and load in
  • the game will display the maps available but there is no mods detected on that page

Here is the mod preset file that I exported using the Arma 3 Launcher. I was trying to get this mods into the server but unsure of how to go about doing it properly

You also need to install the mods on the server: Arma 3 (Generic) Guide

Thanks! but I’m now encountering an issue with the mod downloading.

In the updates > steam workshop > steam workshop items, I have added each of the mod ID manually one-by-one as follows:

450814997
497660133
843425103
843577117
861133494
497661914
843632231
843593391
945476727
1180533757
1673456286
463939057
333310405
2034363662
2132195038
2126300184
1703187116
1224892496
541888371
1638341685
825179978

After adding the mod IDs, I tried to start the server again. I’m now getting this response from the console:

Do you have any idea why this is happening?
