Instead of MOD="@lingor" try MOD=${ARMA_DIR}/modlist.txt whereas modlist.txt is a plain txt file with the mods in form "@cba;@ace;@lingor" without the "" in the file.

If that doesn't work, doublecheck if you have a @lingor directory in your gameserver root directory wich actually also contains that addons folder and all the files. And check if it's readable by the user the server runs under.

Is it a Linux or Windows dedicated?

[visceralsyn 10]

Or...

Use the linux script as intended:

OTHERPARAMS=-cpucount=4

to

OTHERPARAMS=-cpucount=4 -mod=@lingor

or even

OTHERPARAMS='-cpucount=4 -mod=@lingor'

Adding mess to the script, when all the mods can be put on the OTHERPARAMS line, officially irks me to no end. Why bother using the provided script, if yer ganna bloat it with more garbage?

... because then you won't need to bother with the script, but can possibly alter the additional modfile trough a webinterface or in any other convenient way. :)

Hmmm still no joy tried both ways :(

Linux server

100% have it on the server and it is all lowercase

[visceralsyn 10]

do have the lingor mod in a directory named @lingor. And does the mod require any other mods?

...Syn...

[1para{god-father} 105]

Yes it is 100% there called @lingor and have all the stuff needed in the same folder as it was transfrered from my PC and i tested it !

Also tried another Map same result - @hellskitchen works on my PC transfers it all to the server same file structure and when i go into the dedi i see the new map on the list and the mission but when i clcik on the mission nothing. Its like it does not load the MOD ?

And the mission is just a test i.e 1 unit placed down as player

Any Idea ?
