Linux Mod Problems

[FoxhoundBC 13]

Hey everyone! Im trying to get my first linux server going and Im using

 

./arma3server -name=server -config=server.cfg -mod=mods/@cba\;mods/@modpack\;mods/@rhsusaf\;mods/@rhsafrf\;mods/@303taliban\;mods/@ace3\;mods/@alive\;mods/@jbad\;mods/@lythium\;mods/@projectopfor\;mods/@spyderaddons\;mods/@taskforceradio\;mods/@tfwradios

 

but its derping on on being unable to open different files, Ive used the exact same mods fine on a windows server

I keep getting errors like "cannot open file '/home/desktop/Desktop/SteamCMD/steamcmd_linux/Arma3/mods/@spyderaddons\addons\civ_callToPrayer'", if I remove that from the mods list then it just goes to the next mod and doesn the same thing?

I'm guessing it's about uppercase file names. 

 

This link contains some info about it.

maybe it could help therefore i post my bash script for starting my linux server:

#!/bin/bash
# Start script for Arma 3 server
PORT1="14000"
WORLD1="Altis"
SERVER1MODS="@extdb3;@vcomai;@emove"
PARAMS1="-skipIntro -enableHT -noSound -loadMissionToMemory -autoInit"
ARMA_LOG1="/home/steam/steamcmd/arma3/logs/server/server1err_"
ARMA_CON1="/home/steam/steamcmd/arma3/logs/server/server1con_"
CONFIG1="/home/steam/steamcmd/arma3/server1.cfg"
RANK1="/home/steam/steamcmd/arma3/server1.rnk"
PERF1="/home/steam/steamcmd/arma3/server1_perf.cfg"
PID1="/home/steam/steamcmd/arma3/server1.pid"
EXT1=".log"
EXT2=".rpt"
TIMESTAMPLOG1=$ARMA_LOG1$(date +%s)$EXT2
TIMESTAMPCON1=$ARMA_CON1$(date +%s)$EXT1
/home/steam/steamcmd/arma3/arma3server -config=$CONFIG1 -port=$PORT1 -serverMod=$SERVER1MODS -world=$WORLD1 -pid=$PID1 -cfg=$PERF1 $PARAMS1 1>>"$TIMESTAMPCON1" 2>>"$TIMESTAMPLOG1" &

You can view a description of the startuo parameters here.

 

one thing I saw at ur startup line and in ur error message is that u sometimes use backslashes (\) instead of slashes (/) to seperate directories. Dont do that. On linux there are slashes for it.

 

Your error message is very weird as well:

/home/desktop/Desktop/SteamCMD/steamcmd_linux/Arma3/mods/@spyderaddons\addons\civ_callToPrayer'

did u install ur linux server to this directory?

/home/desktop/Desktop/SteamCMD/steamcmd_linux/Arma3/

 

very odd. that would mean that u have a user named desktop and the server is installed in its home subdirectory

./Desktop/SteamCMD/steamcmd_linux/Arma3/

 

I strongly recommend that u reinstall the whole server strictly using the manual given in the wiki

 

I can help u with installing and updating server and mods but as well as provide scripts for this. But u have to use those manual to get the correct directory structure.

i agree, i've got a lot of similar issues with lowercase on linux server

 

@FoxhoundBC my advice is to run a script inside mods folder to convert every file to lowercase

in former times of arma 2 there was an executable file named toLower. it lowercased all files in its current directory recursivly. Idk why this isn't part of arma 3 linux server distro anymore...
