Hello Everyonne,

I found a solution for mods in ARK and that will avoid any errors.
Here is what I did. You can do the same with a symbolic links as needed.

Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

su YourUser
./arkserver stop
cd ./serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD
mkdir ./Linux
cd ./Linux
curl -sqL "https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz" | tar zxvf -
chown -R youruser:youruser ./

After

cd ./lgsm/config-lgsm/arkserver
nano ./arkserver.cfg

and remplace the following content https://pastebin.com/70Pd6rkR

Save and close

After

cd /serverfiles/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer
nano ./GameUserSettings.ini

Add the following content
Put this last in your file GameUserSettings

[/Script/Game.ModInstaller]
ModIDS=680481868
ModIDS=682394267
ModIDS=714672786

Save and Close.

./arkserver start

Good Game For All 💃

This solution brings positive in the sense that the client sees the mod present on the server when the mod loaded on your client the server becomes invisible.

Alright I have gotten this working now.

su YourUser
./arkserver stop
cd ./serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD
mkdir ./Linux
cd ./Linux
curl -sqL "https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz" | tar zxvf -
chown -R youruser:youruser ./

Then

cd ./lgsm/config-lgsm/arkserver
nano ./arkserver.cfg

and replace the following content https://pastebin.com/70Pd6rkR

Then

cd /serverfiles/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer
nano ./GameUserSettings.ini

Under [ServerSettings] add the following line like so, add ModIDS comma (,) separated:

[ServerSettings]
ActiveMods=<ModIDS>,<ModIDS>

Then symlink steamapps to the above installed ~/serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux

ln -s /home/arkserver/Steam/steamapps/ /home/arkserver/serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps

Need also a solution for this, it seems like for each server (when using multiple servers, e.g. ./linuxgsm.sh arkserver) it tries to download again even though they share the directories:

@Sdrabor commented on GitHub (Sep 4, 2017):

To add what I've noticed (very similarly to iskaraltok), here's what I did (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS):

I also did "
cd ./serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD
mkdir ./Linux
cd ./Linux
curl -sqL "https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz" | tar zxvf -
"
didn't have to chown since I ran the curl as my arkserver acct

deleted my ~/steamcmd and instead symlinked it via
ln -s /home/{user}/serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/ /home/{user}/steamcmd

created directory where I wanted my mods to be downloaded
mkdir ~/mods

forced steamcmd to install one mod to force the install dir
~/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /home/arkserver/mods +workshop_download_item 346110 895711211

delete steamapps workshop dir if it exists
rm -R /home/{user}/serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps/workshop

symlinked workshop to my mods dir via
ln -s /home/{user}/mods/steamapps/workshop/ /home/{user}/serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps/workshop

also changed my arkserver.cfg to include (I'm running TheIsland map):
fn_parms(){
parms=""TheIsland?listen?MultiHome=${ip}?MaxPlayers=${maxplayers}?QueryPort=${queryport}?RCONPort=${rconport}?Port=${port}?" -automanagedmods"
}

Forgot the last bit:
Added the mods into GameUserSettings, listing in order of importance under [ServerSettings]:
ActiveMods={ModID1},{ModID2},etc

Edited because github was blanking some stuff out

@RussianRonin commented on GitHub (Sep 15, 2017):

The incorrect directory seems to be symlinked with the ark fix.

My Postdetails: https://hastebin.com/itedemafix

So, the directory that is being symlinked now is
arkserver/steamcmd
to
/home/russianronin/arkserver/serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux

But the mods download to
/home/russianronin/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/346110/731604991
which I do not think the server has access to in any way.

If someone with a bit more experience with the linux ark server would like to confirm, it would be appreciated.

Edit 1:
After looking at some of these replies, I think this would work if you run it in the root of the user I see now. But it does not work if you run it in a folder like I do.

Edit 2:
Once I did this

ln -s /home/russianronin/Steam/steamapps/ /home/russianronin/arkserver/serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps

the mods seem to now load appropriately into ARK.

I get that.

But, even still, the script should take this into account. It makes it a lot easier to manage multiple servers under one user than one server under every user. I have not run into any other issues running this way before. And honestly, it should be an easy fix I would think?

@RussianRonin Yes but look at your directories, you have 1 extra level of hierarchy in your symlink
the link can probably be rewritten to work regardless of which user its linked under but there's still the issue i just mentioned with your structure.

/home/russianronin/Steam/steamapps/

Something like

ln -s "$HOME/Steam/steamapps/" "${serverfiles}/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps"

would probably not be that hard to implement. Therefore it is relying on the home directory no matter what but still runs correctly to get the ${serverfiles} parameter.

After extensive testing, this is what I came up with.

You have to add

if [ ! -d "${serverfiles}/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps" ]; then
	ln -s "$HOME/Steam/steamapps/" "${serverfiles}/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps"
fi

to fix_ark.sh

I did not do any manual modification except adding this to fix_ark.sh and clean installing ark and mods load flawlessly (of course after you do the proper mod setup for ark itself).

I am not the best at bash so I am sure someone has a better solution but this works for me flawlessly.

@shinji257 commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2017):

For this issue I ended up setting up arkserver.cfg. The script does setup the majority of the things needed but you still need to add -automanagedmods. This should do it. Note that earlier pastebins or references missed needed escaping of quotes in the command line. One version did work but it threw a spurious error that may or may not of affected things.

My actual extra params is a bit longer but that works on its own. Once done you should end up with this.

@shinji257 commented on GitHub (Nov 27, 2017): For this issue I ended up setting up arkserver.cfg. The script does setup the majority of the things needed but you still need to add -automanagedmods. This should do it. Note that earlier pastebins or references missed needed escaping of quotes in the command line. One version did work but it threw a spurious error that may or may not of affected things. ``` ################################## ######## Instance Settings ######## ################################## # PLACE INSTANCE SETTINGS HERE ## These settings will apply to a specific instance ## Server Start Settings | https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/wiki/Start-Parameters ip="0.0.0.0" port="7777" queryport="27015" rconport="27020" maxplayers="70" extra_params=" -automanagedmods" ## Server Start Command | https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/wiki/Start-Parameters#additional-parameters fn_parms(){ parms="\"TheIsland?listen?MultiHome=${ip}?MaxPlayers=${maxplayers}?QueryPort=${queryport}?RCONPort=${rconport}?Port=${port}?\"${extra_params}" } ``` My actual extra params is a bit longer but that works on its own. Once done you should end up with this. ``` [S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.
