Mattastic 97 Posted June 26, 2017 Well well well... what do we have here? Nice tool, thanks for making/sharing it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belbo 462 Posted June 26, 2017 I suppose you have to set your mod to public in order for the crawler to find reuploads. Couldn't you add a function that offers the ability to search for pbo names? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not shown in my pic, but below that is a dropdown box that shows the itemized list of files and upload stats for each one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Putting in the name of one of your pbos seems not to be supported (or at least not yet). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmo_D41 117 Posted June 26, 2017 Yes it has to be public, otherwise the crawler could not find your own mod for comparrisson. Tried this with one of my projects. (Also: why or how should anyone reupload a mod that never has been published?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's armaholic, this forum and some other places. I have a policy that none of my mods or scripts are allowed on sws - and still people upload them, either in ignorance or blatant disregard of the licence that comes with them. Currently I have to find them manually (which is tedious and feels quite petty). The crawler seems to look for pbos already, so why not just add the option to search for the name of specific pbo instead of a workshop item? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The crawler seems to look for pbos already, so why not just add the option to search for the name of specific pbo instead of a workshop item? Seems like a reasonable request to have a tool that could search all release platforms for those items. However, I think the obvious issue with that request is in the name of the tool "ArmA 3 Workshop Crawler". It's built around SWS and I have a feeling trying to scan other systems would be more difficult. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belbo 462 Posted June 26, 2017 Nonono... People upload stuff to sws that is not supposed to be on sws. It's not about finding unlicensed uploads to other platforms. The workshop crawler offers the abilty to find re-uploads only. But currently you can't find unlicensed uploads to sws if you haven't uploaded something to sws yourself (or made your upload publicly available). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well kinda seems like one of the disadvantages of not uploading your mods to steam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uro 220 Posted June 26, 2017 That feature was available,. I think they disabled it for now pending code and performance refinements. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Searching by file names was/will soon be available again, however this only applies to mods uploaded to the Steam Workshop. However what I can do is make a small desktop tool that you put into a folder alongside your mod folder and it generates a readable file for the website. You then just go onto the website and select that "summary file" and search according to that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

psk_whiplash 746 Posted July 17, 2017 Well, good and bad news . It works and it turns out my mods keep getting reuploaded (At least 35 times!) mostly by Arma Life Servers. I used to love arma life servers but honestly, they are the cancer of Arma 3 steam workshop right now... Thanks for making the tool (The Portuguese Military Forces - Air Vehicles and Kekistani Insignias are my mods , and the tugamaldenlife actualy asked permission to use my mod , the rest not realy....) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted July 18, 2017 Get them removed from Steam. Great tool! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
optix 137 Posted February 27, 2018 Small update: I've completed revamped the website (finally after two months of downtime) and the website now features some more additions aswell as deep scanning (looking for files in PBOs, so not even repacking can save you). I hope this is still usefor for some people. I'm currently still testing the new page, hence the tmeporary beta.workshopcrawler.com domain, so expect certain issues. Feel free to tell me about them here or on Discord. https://beta.workshopcrawler.com/ I will add FAQ to the page tomorrow so most questions are answered straight away. 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mynock 244 Posted February 27, 2018 Will this work for missions as well? I get really sick of getting messages from people that they played a coop version of my mission and it didn't work and now they're demanding I fix it when I don't make coop missions in the first place...... Would be nice to figure out who is (poorly) modifying my missions for coop when they're not supposed to be. I know people are going to steal crap from scripts or whatever without asking, but I'd simply like to stop the angry messages that my mission doesn't work when they are trying to play a modified version I didn't even post...

We will be looking into this, but the redesign had including mission files in mind too. We just need to wait to see if everything is fine, and then we might be able to scan the entire arma3 workshop, not only mods. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KokaKolaA3 394 Posted March 15, 2018 Hey, first of all, thank you for spending your time on this tool, it's quite useful. So to my question: could you add some priority options? Like the ability to sort the list to how many files were reuploaded, or date, or even subscriber count etc. I don't know if that has been asked for already, I skipped through the thread and couldn't find anything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll redesign the result page eventually or create a seperate one which will display the data in much more detailed and viewer friendly way. I've noticed the current design is especially bad when scanning for big mods.
