Arma-Reforger-Workshop-Mods-Dependencies-Downloader

This simple project is designed to take the Arma Reforger workshop website and output the parent mod and any/all mod dependencies as json that the game can use.

2 flavors

1. Powershell
2. Python

Powershell Instructions

1. Prerequisite - Install WebRequest module via CMD: powershell -command "Install-Module WebRequest" -Scope CurrentUser -AllowClobber
2. Download/copy the modsDownloader.ps1 script to any directory.
3. Run: cmd
4. Run: powershell
5. Script usages:
   • Exclude mod version detail: . '.\modsDownloader.ps1' -url "https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE637B626221E3F-Conflict2032Utes"
   • Include mod version detail: . '.\modsDownloader.ps1' -url "https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE637B626221E3F-Conflict2032Utes" -version true
   • Output only mods array: . '.\modsDownloader.ps1' -onlyMods -url "https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE637B626221E3F-Conflict2032Utes"
   • Output to text file (be sure to delete any previous, since this will append): . '.\modsDownloader.ps1' -url "https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE637B626221E3F-Conflict2032Utes" -version true >> test.json

Python Instructions

1. Prerequisite: Install python: If in Windows, suggest install chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org/install -> run powershell script under "Now run the following command"), then install python (choco install python3).
2. Download/copy the modsDownloader.py script to any directory.
3. Script usages:
   • Exclude mod version detail: python .\modsDownloader.py https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE637B626221E3F-Conflict2032Utes
   • Include mod verison detail: python .\modsDownloader.py https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE637B626221E3F-Conflict2032Utes --version
   • Output only mods array: python .\modsDownloader.py https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE637B626221E3F-Conflict2032Utes --onlyMods
   • Include mod verison detail (be sure to delete any previous, since this will append): python .\modsDownloader.py https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EE637B626221E3F-Conflict2032Utes --version >> test.json

Results

Either script will output the content from the website url (main mod + all mod dependencies, Scenario ID, and player count as maxPlayers) to a json format the game can use.

Tool example screenshot (see Powershell or Python usages above - both scripts output the same exact way):

That's it! Plug this json into your Arma Reforger server and it will work.

If you output the file with >> test.json (see usages above), it can be used like this:

start "ArmaReforger" /wait /high "ArmaReforgerServer.exe" -maxFPS 60 -config ".\test.json" -profile test

Troubleshooting

• If your server starts and is listed in-game with 999+ ping...
  • In your game server's config.json, or as shown above test.json, change publicAddress value to your public IP address.

Enjoy!
