Expansion / Mods doesn't appear on server listing

[ShadowFox 1]

Hi!

I'm successfully running my dedicated server with some mods, however these mods doesn't appear on the "Expansions" information in Arma 3 or in "Show Server Info" in Playwithsix.

The reason I want this information is that I want my user to be able to sync the mods with the server, so they don't need to figure out what they need to join.

Also the country info in playwithsix is wrong, so maybe there something I'm missing for both info?

Thanks a lot!

Just in case, here is my startup line:

start "" /wait C:\Games\Arma3\A3Master\arma3server.exe -port=2302 "-config=C:\Games\Arma3\A3Master\TADST\default\TADST_config.cfg" "-cfg=C:\Games\Arma3\A3Master\TADST\default\TADST_basic.cfg" "-profiles=C:\Games\Arma3\A3Master\TADST\default" -name=default "-mod=@cba_a3;@a3mp;@nato_russian_sf_weapons;@ACRE;@st_acre_volume_a3;@usmc_a3;@vts_weaponresting;curator;kart"

Appreciate any tips

Maybe its because the steamquery doesnt return mods in the return packet ?

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/STEAMWORKSquery

if this is the case. it most sertanly needs to be added in to the steamquery.

as you can see. from the link

Gamespy is far superior to the steam query. sucks that gamespy is gone. :mad:

Edit 1:

i see that the steam query has something called: SetModDir()

not sure if this is the equivalent to gamespys "mod"

Edit 2:

after reading more it doesnt seems like arma returns the mods used on the steamapi.

arma is using SetGameTag. and you can see what values it gives you on the link

I am having this EXACT same problem.. Did you find the fix? The reply dosen't exactly tell you how to fix it or where to even edit the SetMod()

there are only 2 approaches.

a) You state somewhere on your website/forums what they need and links for the download

b) You create a repository for either

• PlaywithSix
  
• Armasync
  

Our preferred option is the armasync, it hosts exactly what the server has and the clients only need to click & go.

It's the simplest of all tools and therefore from a user support point of view, IMO the best

Our mod pack is some 13GB

Take a look at this A3 serverbrowser - it shows all the mods a server are running.
