Dedicated server Linux not detecting some mods.

[proxzor 1]

Ok, I have tried many solutions that I have found on this forum and through google yet nothing seems to be working. When joining the server I can see that it is saying the following thing:

1:08:55 Missing addons detected:

1:08:55 acex_c_weapon

1:08:55 ace_sys_playerhud

1:08:55 ace_sys_viewblock

1:08:55 ace_sys_wounds

1:08:55 map_eu

1:08:55 Warning Message: You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.acex_c_weapon, ace_sys_playerhud, ace_sys_viewblock, ace_sys_wounds, map_eu

I have made everything in lowercase letters, and I have tried to play around with the arma2oaserver file, startupline and everything but nothing seems to work and I have no clue what else I could try, I don't seen any other solutions either and therefore I am making this, hoping that this wonderful community is able to help me out!

In your arma2oaserver file:

You have specified that $MODS would start with the value of $EXP. But as far as I can see, you have not specified $EXP - meaning that the resulting value of $MODS starts with a semicolon. I suspect that would be a problem.

E.g.

CBA="@cba;@cba_a2;@cba_oa"
ACE="@ace;@acex;@acex_ru;@acex_usnavy;@zeu_ai_ace"
ACRE="@acre"
MODS="${EXP};${CBA};${ACE};${ACRE}"
echo $MODS
;@cba;@cba_a2;@cba_oa;@ace;@acex;@acex_ru;@acex_usnavy;@zeu_ai_ace;@acre

For the commandline example: .server .... etc

You have specified that all of the mods are located in a subfolder named "x", that is not the case in your arma2oaserver file.

Also, your commandline -mod parameter ends with a semicolon, which I'm not sure about.

Remove this:

CBA="@cba;@cba_a2;@cba_oa"
ACE="@ace;@acex;@acex_ru;@acex_usnavy;@zeu_ai_ace"
ACRE="@acre"
MODS="${EXP};${CBA};${ACE};${ACRE}"

And this:

-mod=${MODS}

From this line:

sudo -u arma ${SERVER} >>${LOGFILE} 2>&1 -server -config=${CONFIG} -port=${PORT} -pid=${PIDFILE} -mod=${MODS} ${OTHERPARAMS}

Once the bloat is removed, use this:

OTHERPARAMS='-cfg=arma2oa.cfg -cpucount=2 -mod=@cba;@cba_a2;@cba_oa;@ace;@acex;@acex_ru;@acex_usnavy;@zeu_ai_ace;@acre'

Then your stuff will load...

[visceralsyn 10]

also, you have 'CFG=arma2oa.cfg' on line 4 of the Configuration Parameters, the script is not reading that line, therefore its bloating the script. Your CFG is defined on the 'OTHERPARAMS' line:

[color=#ff0000]CFG=arma2oa.cfg
[/color]PORT=2302
PIDFILE=${SYS_DIR}/${PORT}.pid
RUNFILE=${SYS_DIR}/${PORT}.run
LOGFILE=${SYS_DIR}/serverlog.txt
SERVER=${ARMA_DIR}/server
OTHERPARAMS='[color=#ff0000]-cfg=arma2oa.cfg[/color] -cpucount=2'

...Syn...

Nicely spotted VisceralSyn

... and also - I'm not sure why you changed the script where it is actually starting the server, to do that with sudo to another user. Wouldn't it be easier to just run as that user in the first place or at least start the whole arma2oaserver script by sudo?

Either way, make sure that user has proper permissions on files/folders!
