Steam Workshop Batch Scripts

This is a collection of windows batch files

These scripts were created in combined efforts by joew00 and Tinboye

Installation

first thing you need to do is download steamcmd from https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD Once downloaded place the steamcmd.exe in a folder where you want steamcmd to reside. example: C:\servers\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe

Once you have a location set, run steamcmd.exe so it will download all the rest of the files.

Then edit all 3 batch files and set steamcmd path. set "steamcmdpath=C:\path\to\steamCMD"

• download_arma3server.bat this batch file will allow a person to download arma 3 server files to a set server folder specified. This batch you will need to specify where you want the Arma 3 Server files installed.

  set "steamcmdpath=C:\path\to\steamCMD"
  set "serverpath=C:\path\to\server"
  

• download_singlemod.bat this batch file will allow a person to download a single arma 3 steam workshop item. When you run this batch file, you will be prompted to enter your steam username and password and then the workshop ID# you can get the ID# from the steam workshop URL. Example: you search google for arma 3 Cup Core and you get the url: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=583496184 the 583496184 is the ID# you would want to enter to download CUP Core.

• download_bulk_mods.bat this batch file will allow a person to download multiple arma 3 steam workshop items. this batch file is like the above, except you will see a list of mods. Example:

  set ModsName[14]="@CUP_Terrains_Core"
  set Mods[14]=583496184
  set ModDownload[14]=false
  

so you set the

  set ModDownload[14]=true

repeat this for every mod you want to download, then run the batch file.

Future Additions

I will be adding a batch file that will create symbolic links for each mod within the bulk mods script.
