Server won't load mods

[EmDash]

EDIT My apologies.. I figured it out. I haven't ENABLED the mods. I overlooked that part in the tutorial page. Feel free to delete this.

 

Have a dedicated server that I connect to through LAN. Didn't feel like doing all the mumbo jumbo with the router. The server does not have any mods when I load it. I have followed instructions to the letter for how to set up the lua file for mods and collections. It looks like the server downloads the individual mods files and puts them in folders but it doesn't do that for the collection.

 

It still does not have any mods after loading it though. Downloads mods, doesn't use them. Weird.

 

Any help would be very much appreciated, I'm sure I didn't put enough information so feel free to ask what you will. I'm new so if this is in the wrong section I apologize, just throw me into the right one.

 

my dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua file.

 

--There are two functions that will install mods, ServerModSetup and ServerModCollectionSetup. Put the calls to the functions in this file and they will be executed on boot.

--ServerModSetup takes a string of a specific mod's Workshop id. It will download and install the mod to your mod directory on boot.
--The Workshop id can be found at the end of the url to the mod's Workshop page.
--Example: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=350811795
--ServerModSetup("350811795")

--ServerModCollectionSetup takes a string of a specific mod's Workshop id. It will download all the mods in the collection and install them to the mod directory on boot.
--The Workshop id can be found at the end of the url to the collection's Workshop page.
--Example: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=379114180
--ServerModCollectionSetup("379114180")

This bit me for a while also.

 

What is even better, is that if you update your server (which you have to do almost every day), it overwrites dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua and modsettings.lua. And if you don't have a backup, you get to figure out your mod ID numbers all over again. It would be nice if the update would leave those files alone.

 

And if your client version does not exactly match the server version, the client won't see your server. Sometimes Steam updates the client without any notice or announcements (or in the case of the last update, the announcement came out the next day) and suddenly your server is empty.

I joined the forum in hopes of finding an answer to this problem but as noone has answered this thread it looks like there's no info here on what to do so I went ahead and worked it out on my own.

 

As I can see in your post EmDash you and I did the same thing and used "dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua"

 

With content something similar to below.

--Minimap HUDServerModSetup("345692228")--Additional equipslotsServerModSetup("375919633")--Global Player IconsServerModSetup("373991022")

The solution to our dedicated servers downloading the mods but not enabling is solved by using "modsettings.lua"

 

With content similar to below.

--Minimap HUDForceEnableMod("workshop-345692228")--Additional equipslotsForceEnableMod("workshop-375919633")--Global Player IconsForceEnableMod("workshop-373991022")

I hope this has helped you and anyone else with the same issue.

Weird, I'm still having the problem and I'm doing exactly what you guys are saying to do.

dedicated_server_mods_setup.lua

 

ServerModSetup("354415247")
ServerModSetup("404983266")

 

modsettings.lua

 

ForceEnableMod("workshop-354415247")
ForceEnableMod("workshop-404983266")

My server is still not modded...

[Trenix]

Found the problem, when it says 'server install folder"\mods' it doesn't mean Documents\Keli\(your sever name)\mods. It instead means 'C:Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together Dedicated Server\mods'. That's a big difference and the wiki should specify that. I wasted many hours of my time trying to figure out what was going wrong only to find out it was the wiki not explaining itself. In Minecraft, the server is all in one folder, rather than spread around in different folders on your desktop. I don't see how this is very convenient for everyone.

I agree with you on this comment, the wiki is not very clear when it comes to the mod section.

 

Glad to see that I could help you out.

I have added a note to the wiki to clarify the mods folder

 

as to enabling the mods I have gone into it a little here http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/55260-mod-collection/?p=647223
