LinuxGSM Arma 3 Mod Update Script

This Script install Arma3 Workshop Mods from a given Modlist.

Install

Create an folder "modlists" in the server root folder (the folder where the arma3server file is)

$ cd /path/to/arma3server
$ mkdir modlists

Copy the a3update.py in the root folder and edit the params:

• A3_SERVER_DIR
• A3_SERVER_FOLDER

Use

You can start the Arma 3 Launcher, go to mods and create an modlist. Afterwards you export them like explained here Arma3 Mods and the Arma3 Launcher. Now you upload them to your server and put them in the "modlists" folder.

You can now start the script with

$ ./a3update.py

Now you have to enter your Steam Name, Steam Password and the name of the Modlist. The Script now update lgsm, arma and all mods inside the modlist.

Troubleshooting

The Steam Account must own a legal copy of Arma 3, if not, the download of mods from the workshop will fail.
