sarogahtyp 1109 Posted July 6, 2016 Hi guys. Upto now i downloaded mods from armaholic and installed them to their directories. Now since u can install ur mods with steam (on windows clients) i wonder if its possible to use steamcmd for installing/updating mods on linux dedis. Is this possible or is downloading to my windows client at home and then uploading to my linux dedicated server the only way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
donelsarjo 60 Posted July 6, 2016 Start steamcmd.sh: ./steamcmd.sh Login in steam with your account: login <username> <password> Download the mod you are looking for: workshop_download_item 107410 660460283 (First number is the ID for Arma 3 Client and the second number the ID of the mod ironfront) When done downloading terminate steamcmd: Crtl+C Navigate to download dir (for me it was this): cd steamapps/workshop/content/107410/660460283 Copy to desired dir (for me it was this): cp -R * /opt/arma3server1/serverfiles/@ifa3lite 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
donelsarjo 60 Posted July 6, 2016 Don't forget to lowercase if necessary! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pedeathtrian 100 Posted July 7, 2016 Instead of last step (copying) you can use ciopfs to mount mod directories to required location with filenames lowercased. That is, you will have your files updated by SteamCMD in their locations, and they will automagically apper updated (and all filenames lowercased) in your server's directory. Alternativelly, you can use some script (there's plenty of them on the net) to build the mod directory hierarchy and sym-link the actual files with names lowercased (this way will work faster than ciopfs). Both ways produce little or no additional disk space waste compared to copying. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

omon 19 Posted July 7, 2016 the last step is incorrect leave the add-ons in workshop folder as addons update! point the game to workshop folders as addons Follow this for correct way of integrating workshop http://ofps.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=650&p=5046&hilit=linux#p4340 Start steamcmd.sh: ./steamcmd.sh Login in steam with your account: login <username> <password> Download the mod you are looking for: workshop_download_item 107410 660460283 (First number is the ID for Arma 3 Client and the second number the ID of the mod ironfront) When done downloading terminate steamcmd: Crtl+C Navigate to download dir (for me it was this): cd steamapps/workshop/content/107410/660460283 Copy to desired dir (for me it was this): cp -R * /opt/arma3server1/serverfiles/@ifa3lite 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SageNTitled 25 Posted August 5, 2016 When I am trying to download Workshop mods to the server using an anonymous Steam account or my dummy server account, it won't work. Only when I log in to my main account. Is this because one must own the game to allow downloads? I don't want to link my main account to the Arma 3 server.

Viral.BadKarma 10 Posted August 5, 2016 @sagentitled, You "subscribe" to workshop items no? Wouldn't you need to subscribe your dummy account to it too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
