In the server browser at the bottom right lists the addons it is using. You can find them online by googling <addon name> arma 3 and then putting them in your root install directory for ArmA 3.

He wants the other way around :)

Find the name of the addon in the .pbo (config.bin - unbinarize it using Eliteness, can also unpack)

Should look like this

class CfgPatches
{
   class my_AddonName
{

Now we know the name, add this to init.sqf or whatever script you want

if !(isClass(configFile>>"CfgPatches">>"my_AddonName")) then {
   // a hint and forceEnd maybe
};

If the player doesn't have the mod needed he won't get as far as the init.sqf to get the "you need this" hint. Either advertise the need for it on your website, via mission name or hope your players are smart enough to see it listed on the server browser page.

If you have a public server you should be enforcing mod bisign files and shouldn't even let anyone without the proper versions or anything extra even connect period. If you're running a private server just get on Teamspeak and say "bob, download this mod".
