Deimos Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hey there, I have a config for Ark (Dont ask for it as I had to pay for it) and one thing we find trouble with is updating mods. Is there away to add one click install/update of mods from steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I had a working way for Linux, but somehow the script stopped working. The modinfo files weren't correct after downloading which would result in a bootloop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatboynz Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 you can use Steam cmd to download workshop mods/addons. But with ark ya just put then mod id into the config file and the server will auto download the mod and keep it updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycarey Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 you can use Steam cmd to download workshop mods/addons. But with ark ya just put then mod id into the config file and the server will auto download the mod and keep it updated. Does this actually work with SteamCMD now? It's been almost a year since I checked but last I knew SteamCMD would download compressed mod files that could not be used on the server. I made a tool to work around this back then: https://github.com/barrycarey/Ark_Mod_Downloader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 wait, we dont actually have to upload the mods? If we put the mod id in the server will auto-download the mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatboynz Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The steam cmd works on windows haven't tried on Linux. I know people have been having probs with doing it on linux. As for the ark mod ID that was put in there not so long ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Alright - I can just say that it ain't working on Linux. It's been tested dozens of times by me. It doesn't download the files, at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 I thought so. Thanks for the clarification Denis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 But don't let my experience stop you from trying! Could be that I did something wrong (which isn't unlikely), or that there's some conflicts regarding the OS we ran. Give it a try and see if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatboynz Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The best thing about TCA is trying new tings I always find what works on one os does not work on another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momotea Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Through some external tools, I have implemented this function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mseidel Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 i solved this with a simple batch file: D:\00_Steam_CMD\steamcmd.exe +login %ThisService_SteamID% %ThisService_SteamPW% +force_install_dir %ThisService_RootDirectory% +workshop_download_item 107410 %ThisService_modID% +quit move %ThisService_RootDirectory%\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\%ThisService_modID% %ThisService_RootDirectory%\%ThisService_ModName% i use move becaus ethe mod is saved in a subfolder only with the steam id. But i have two questions: 1. Is it possible to use it with steam guard too? 2. i want to add these mods automatic to the command line, in command line i have the part: -mod=![mod] it wold be nice to have something like ![mod]==![mod]+![ModName] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Sorry for not having told you guys this before, but you can avoid using other software, scripts or anything else. Just create a symlink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
