Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/4505

User story

When adding mods to ~/lgsm/config-lgsm/dayzserver/common.cfg, it only loads the first mod

Game

DayZ Standalone

Linux distro

Ubuntu 22.04

Command

command: start

Further information

In the config section to load mods, this is how the variable is laid out (Comment markers removed to avoid markdown issues):

DayZ Modules Add mods with relative paths: mods/@cf To load the "Community framework for DayZ SA" module found in the directory serverfiles/mods/@cf. Load several mods as: mods="mods/@cf\;mods/@dayz-expansion\;mods/@deerisle" mods="mods/@CF;mods/@Basic_Territories_Updated;mods/@RaG_Hunting_Cabin"

When the startparameters variable is built, this is the code:

Server Parameters | https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/start-parameters#additional-parameters startparameters="-ip=${ip} -port=${port} -config=${servercfgfullpath} -mod=${mods} -servermod=${servermods} -bepath=${bepath} -limitFPS=60 -dologs -adminlog -freezeCheck"

It appears that the actual binary expects everything after -mod= to be wrapped in double quotes. Changing my config file startparameters variable to use this line appears to have fixed the issue:

Server Parameters | https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/start-parameters#additional-parameters startparameters="-ip=${ip} -port=${port} -config=${servercfgfullpath} -mod=\"${mods}\" -servermod=${servermods} -bepath=${bepath} -limitFPS=60 -dologs -adminlog -freezeCheck"

Wrapping the $mods variable in escaped double quotes loaded all of the mods, and may need to be added to the default config file.

Relevant log output

PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION_ID="22.04"
VERSION="22.04.4 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"
VERSION_CODENAME=jammy
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy

No other relevant logs are available, the console log file doesn't show anything when I tried to load only Community Framework.

Steps to reproduce

1: Install multiple mods
2: Add them to the appropriate config file
3: Start the server
4: Use whichever tool you choose to check loaded mods, only the first will load.

Hey guys, that's really the fix for LinuxGSM up there. I simply went to _default.cfg in /home/dayzserver/lgsm/config-default/config-lgsm/dayzserver
and then I just changed -mod=${mods} to -mod="${mods}" which is also the solution for me

You can simply add you're mods to you main serverfiles like "/home/dayzserver/serverfiles"
If it dosent works test ist with low characters in modfolder name like not "@DayZ-Expansion-Licensed" do "@dayz-expansion-licensed"

I hope this little trick help you out, sorry for my bad english im from germany :)

I've answer a similar questions related to mods loading at LinuxGSM Discord server.

For multiple mods loading, please make sure you have place it in the right format, included the character \ after the mod folder name and before the semicolon, ;.

Here are from my working cfg file:

## DayZ Modules
# Add mods with relative paths:
# mods/@cf
# To load the "Community framework for DayZ SA" module found in the
# directory serverfiles/mods/@cf.  Load several mods as:
# mods="mods/@cf\;mods/@dayz-expansion\;mods/@deerisle"
mods="mods/@CF\;mods/@VPPAdminTools\;mods/@DF\;mods/@DayZ-Expansion-Bundle\;mods/@DayZ-Expansion-Licensed\;mods/@DayZ-Expansion-Animations\;mods/@Unlimited-Stamina"

## Server-side Mods
servermods=""

## Path to BattlEye
# Leave empty for default
bepath=""

## Path to profiles - DZVN
profiles="${serverfiles}/profiles"

## Server Parameters | https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/start-parameters#additional-parameters | -limitFPS=60
startparameters="-ip=${ip} -port=${port} -config=${servercfgfullpath} -profiles=${profiles} -mod=${mods} -serverMod=${servermods} -BEpath=${bepath}  -doLogs -adminLog -freezeCheck"

I also rename mod folder name to replace spaces with - for easier loading.

Nothing in this thread ended up being the solution for me however everyone info here helped a bunch in figuring this out

First of all my method doesnt use the mods folder and u will need to rename all your folders to look like this @modnamehere
where the modname will have to be the same in the meta file so make sure you check that and place all mods in the serverfiles folder

my server config file looks like this

mods=""

Server-side Mods
servermods=""

Path to BattlEye
Leave empty for default
bepath=""

Server Parameters | https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/start-parameters#additional-parameters
startparameters="-ip=${ip} -port=${port} -config=${servercfgfullpath} -mod=@Code\ Lock\;@CF\;@AC-Mod-Pack\;@Dayz-Expansion-Bundle\;@Dayz-Expansion-Core\;@Dayz-Expansion-Licensed\;@Dayz-Expansion-Market\;@Dayz-Expansion-Animations\;@BaseBuildingPlus\;@BuilderItems\;@FlipTransport\;@Kamaz_Truck\;@VPPAdminTools\;@ClothingInventoryFix\;@Advanced\ Weapon\ Scopes\;@Dabs\ Framework\;@Paragon\ Storage\;@Underground\ Bases\; -servermod=${servermods} -bepath=${bepath} -limitFPS=60 -dologs -adminlog -freezeCheck"

I had to do it this way cause nothing would load or only the first mod will load make sure u do it exactly like i have it and that you end it off with \; or it will add -servermod= to the name of the last mod

Also as an example earlier i had the codelock mod folder named to @CodeLock and that would not work when i would join the server it would tell me i am joining with a mod that the server doesnt have to fix this i went into the codelock folder and check the meta data file and changed the file name to be the same from there so the new name is @Code Lock and that worked no issues

another note that for any mods with a space in the name you will need to add \ in between the next word
