Dedicated Server and Workshop Mods

Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

I run a small scale dedicated server for a group of Arma nuts and I would like to know how to get steam workshop content onto the server. I have tried using SteamCMD but all it does is install the downloads in the steamapps folder not the server folder. I followed the BI instructions on setting up the server using SteamCMD and use TADST to launch the server but I cannot find any information on getting the WS content to the server. I have tried getting some of the mods from Armaholic but there seems to be version issues with the workshop versions which the players are using. Is there a guide or instructions anywhere that relates to getting the workshop content onto a dedicated server.

 

Regards

 

Ian

you should be able to copy it over to the arma folder from your steamapps folder manually...

 

imho steamworkshop is a fail...

as if downloading a mod/file from a webspace would be so fucking difficult... so they need something easier... (seriously?... if you cant do it... then stop trying it at all ^^)

so they got their precious steam workshop...

 

all these kids are uploading their superduper lifemod files 10gig+ because they cant affort to get some webspace to host it etc

so they fill the steamworkshop with their garbage...

 

it should be limited to stuff everyone can use completely... not only missionfiles like the lifemod stuff etc where you never get the serverside files...

but hey... as long as steam has enough ressources to waste... keep uploading ^^

 

and the download from steam workshop should also give us an option to load it with a directlink...

as im surely not going to install steamclient on a rootserver... and with steamcmd you cant even download mods of various games... (ark is a good example here...)

 

but in your case you should be able to copy the files over and you should be fine...

follow this thread for my fully automated workshop integration, script will check for game and workshop updates and automatically copy keys over.

Our server is fully automated and all addons are getting auto synced from steam workshop.
