Yes , check your Startup tab of the server for the variables you can change
plain steeple
I can't find the mods under startup. Is there any good documentation on the internet?
brisk latch
where do get your egg then ?
plain steeple
i used the normal Soure Engine and Ark there
plain steeple
@brisk latch i did add the mods but if i join the server i dont see any of the add ons lik s+ or better spyglas: Any tipps?
brisk latch
Are they compatible with the branch ?
Check ShooterGame/Saved/Logs if there logs if the mod/config are correct ?
plain steeple
I don't know exactly what to look for. Under Saved/Logs i only see the ShooteGame.log
brisk latch
look inside that file ? if something mentioned about loading mods?
plain steeple
I added the mod ID, then I used WinSCP to check whether the mod file was there under /ShooterGame/Content/Mods/. Do I need to activate anything else in GameUserSettings.ini or in the panel?
plain steeple
brisk latch
there is " to much ?
plain steeple
do u have i fix? Under Mods there is only the mod ID. Do i have to modifi my Startup Command?
brisk latch
Somehow you put a extra" in the mod field because the coding in the egg does already include "before and after the input of mod field.
brisk latch
@warm marsh , I hope you dont mind to mention you , but you are 1 of the person that fixed this egg ? is there an issue with the mod ID field? as shown in picture ?

brisk latch
Did you update the egg ? there was update 3 weeks ago ?
plain steeple
yes i did here or am i wrong?
plain steeple
i cant get rid of this problem, any tipps. I used the github jason file. Did a new install. Nothing works
lone pewter
how did you separate the mod IDs? Did you place a space after the comma?
plain steeple
i did not place a space after the comma but i also have a problem if i run only on mod
lone pewter
works just fine on my server
brisk latch
works just fine on my server
just to check ? can you check the log file and see how the command looks like at your one with loading the mod , if its als have "MODID"" or just "MODID" ?
lone pewter
it was double but thats normal since its just how its logged. it ends the " in the beginning.
But now after restarting it a couple times its only around mods. Im guessing its just ark being ark. but both times it worked fine so it shouldnt have anything to do with the mods working or not.
the double quote is generated by the spaces in the session name probably. Bcs it stopped after i changed the name. But its normal
brisk latch
ah ok was just trying troubleshoot why the mod is not working. but indeed ARK being ArK 😉

have you tried running the server without modifying it so just default and only the mods. Without changing any of the ini files.
brisk latch
i had the same problem with soulmask egg , how they load the mods , its almost he same way . thats why i asked.
plain steeple
have you tried running the server without modifying it so just default and only ...
I can join the server no problem. But if I am ingame the mods don’t show up.
So the double “ is not the problem why my mods don’t work on the sever?
Or do I have to restart the sever a few times till I don’t see double “ anymore
lone pewter
it isnt caused by the ". Try creating a new server and leave it just default with just mods, so just create a server preaquatic fill in the mods and try to join it without modifying anything outside of the startup variables. I didnt say you wouldnt be able to join the server. It will tell us if it is caused by changing / modifying any of the ini files or any other file.
plain steeple
this is a new server with only S+ installed.
plain steeple
@lone pewter should i look for logs or anything?
plain steeple
could it be a problem with my penal version?
plain steeple
i get this waring but dont have any idears
"WARNING: setlocale('en_US.UTF-8') failed, using locale: 'C'. International characters may not work."

I'll take a look at the mod support tonght. But it should be working as we didn't really change anything for the mod support.

also somebody else mentioning he has mod problem see #1394960208907735090 message

Hey @plain steeple did you ever figure out a solution to this? I just found out about pterodactyl this week and set it up for ark se.
I'm using the latest egg, preaquatica branch, mod list in ini and startup config.
Server starts up just fine but no evidence of any mods being loaded. Both the folders and .mod files are in ShooterGame/Content/Mods, so I know they're installed.
Surely I don't have to re build to add mods every time? The initial rcon took like 20 minutes so I hope not, lol.
