[Dedicated Server] Server packages file not found

[Vojtech Hladík]

How do we activate the mod on the server?

Server will enable the same mods you had enabled in game, when export_server_packages command was called.
It will mirror your map, dlc and mods setup.

Thank you for your help.

I got this setup:

Code: Select all

[MP] Mods optioning: True
[MP] Modded session: Yes

Does this mean that mods are enabled but it's not mandatory to install them?

Yes, mods are used/enabled.
And if any mod is marked as optional, it will not be required for other clients or server.
Should optioning be disabled, optional tag would be ignored.

Sorry, I'm re-reading your post.
Do you mean we have to manually tag mods as optional?

No the mod maker needs to tag them as optional.

In the server you have 2 options:

1. Mods allowed, yes/no
2. Optional mods supported, yes/no

Hi.

I currently have only 1 mod enabled in my profile, from witch I extracted the server_packages.
Mods are allowed and optional mods supported on my server.

So people who want to join will have to download my mod? I'm not sure if the maker has tagger that as optional or not, any way to check from the workshop maybe?

Thanks

It depends on the mod you have running. In one of the files in the mod there can be the optional tag. (Sorry I can't remember where right now)

This thread seems the best place to ask this.

I created a server with STEAMCMD on a Windows virtual machine. The only way I could determine to create the packages files was to create them on my gaming PC that has ATS/ETS2 installed and then copy those files over to the VM. Did I miss some instructions or is that the only way> Not a complaint, I'm just wondering if there's a quicker way to do everything on the server machine.
