rezecib Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 @DTM450, If mods have to be on clients as well as the server, they should automatically download already. This is in the mod developer's hands, essentially-- it's a flag we set in the modinfo. If you're finding that people can't join your server unless they download the mods, it's possible there's a bug in the autodownload process (maybe your server is failing to provide accurate mod data?). As for getting client-only mods to download for everyone (e.g. Always On Status) there's no way to really do that. You might be able to set all_clients_require_mod = true in your own copy of it (Edit: also need to set client_only_mod = false), but I think that would only have clients download it, not enable it (because their copy will say all_clients_require_mod = false). Additionally, clients can turn on auto-subscription. I'm not sure if this only applies to all_clients_require_mod mods, or if It will auto-subscribe to all of them except the client_only_mods.

Developer PeterA Posted January 28, 2015 Developer Share Posted January 28, 2015 Additionally, clients can turn on auto-subscription. I'm not sure if this only applies to all_clients_require_mod mods, or if it auto-subscribes to all of them, but that should cause them to subscribe on joining servers. The auto-subscribe option will subscribe to all mods in the server's mod description table, which is everything but mods flagged as client_only_mod = true.

rezecib Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 @DTM450, You can force-enable a mod yourself, but there's no way to force-enable it for others, outside of it having all_clients_require_mod = true.
