How to Get Mods Working Dedicated Server with modoverrides.lua file

[Sephtis]

Hello,

 

I'm have trouble get mods working with the modoverrrides.lua file, on my dedicated server.

 

I use force mod and that works but i want to configure the mods  so there not all set to default, 

 

I made the modoverrides.lua file in the folder location shown as it wasn't there and put inside exactly as shown below from the dont starve wiki.

 

the mods don't seem to work, not sure what i'm missing ? 

 

Here's what i put - 

 

return {

["workshop-378160973"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-373480109"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-385979230"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-375618000"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-361994110"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-356833566"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-354533909"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-343762271"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-351325790"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-365632677"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-380423963"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-380079744"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-356398534"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-359345922"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-357847848"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-356930882"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-378965501"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-367304592"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-370373189"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-360590216"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-360823660"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-366048578"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-365119238"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-362175979"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-347360448"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-352373173"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-375859599"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-394612159"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-375850593"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-374550642"] = { enabled = true },

["workshop-363989569"] = { enabled = true }, 

["workshop-365632677"] = { enabled = true,

configuration_options =

{

affect_spiders? = true, 

}

},

}

 

Details from wiki  -

 

"The second option is using a modoverrides.lua file. Dedicated servers can now enable mods and set mod configurations via a file in the configuration directory named “modoverrides.lua” (\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\modoverrides.lua). An example of the contents of this file is

return {
["workshop-350811795"] = { enabled = true },
["workshop-387028143"] = { enabled = true },
["workshop-361336115"] = { enabled = true,
configuration_options =
{
hunt_time = 6,
}
},
["workshop-336882447"] = { enabled = true }
}

 

Note, dedicated servers (and normal clients) can override the mod config options to non-valid options using this method. In this example, 6 is not a normal option for the hunt_time in the Hunt game mode mod."

 

 

 

If anyone could Help please that would be great, Thank you .

Hi, i attached the modoverrides.lua file

modoverrides.lua

[Maris]

Lua syntax analizator found an error in your file.

I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with my modoverrides.lua for hours.  I downloaded SciTE.  Tell me how to use this Lua syntax analizator.  I'll give you a classy of your choice from my inventory.  http://steamcommunity.com/id/kitchevadimas/

You should install lua. I don't remember how to do it. Probably Google remembers it. Actually you can use lua syntax analyzer without editor via console. But i like it 2 in 1. SciTE supports lua, that's why I use it.

@Maris,

 

I did not know that this software existed

 

thx you very much Maris

 

[Nex86]

can someone help me how to use this software?
how can I analyze my script with it?

whenever I go to Tools/Go it says that it can't find lua5.1.
I downloaded the compiler and put it into the wscite folder but its still not working.

[Maris]

Actually if you need to check lua syntax only once or twice, you can use one of the online services.

​For example, http://ideone.com/ 

 

No need to install anything on your computer.

Hi, I'm also having a problem with getting modoverride.lua to work.

The syntax of everything looks correct but none of the mods are being enabled. If I use the ForceEnableMod method, they all work. Am I forgetting to change something in one of the setting files?

Check all steps on wikia

Yes, I've been viewing that page the entire time while setting it up, and after looking at your reply and viewing the page for the 10000th time, I finally realized my mistake...I placed the file in the /mods directory instead of the config directory..

 (thanks)
