Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/4601

User story

DayZserver should ensure the mpmissions folder is created and populated.

Game

Dayz

Linux distro

Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, RedHat 9

Command

command: install

Further information

When installing a DayZ server, it doesn't include the mpmissions folder, normally located inside /home/dayzserver/serverfiles/. The lack of this directory doesn't stop the server from booting, however it does disallow any players from connecting:

To fix it manually:

mkdir /home/dayzserver/serverfiles/mpmissions
wget https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/DayZ-Central-Economy/archive/refs/tags/DZ_125.zip
unzip DZ_125.zip; rm DZ_125.zip
mv DayZ-Central-Economy/* /home/dayzserver/serverfiles/mpmissions/
rm -rf DayZ-Central-Economy
./dayzserver restart

This isn't a direct failure on LGSM's part though I do think it should account for it as part of creating a new server. The newest version of the mission files can be found at https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/DayZ-Central-Economy/releases/latest

Relevant log output

N/A

Steps to reproduce

Install dayzserver, start it and try join. It's accounted for above ^

This needs to be a priority fix I think

the mods & profiles directories should probably be created too. the skeleton command does create all three so maybe that could be invoked prior to install?
then all that'd need to be changed is changing the output directory from skel to serverfiles and jobs done

Yeah would be good to have it automatically create & configure this as I've been creating the mod directory / profiles etc manually and its caused me a few issues ( nothing major ) but it is a bit of a pain :)

Mouldy Cheeses!

I wasted a whole weekend with no useful outcome over this and i concluded linuxgsm was a just another abandoned and broken hobby project.

now i've seen this ticket and... glad to know it's just a missing mpmission file/directory.

I was messing around with steamcmd in general outside of LGSM and I noticed that when used my main steam account, which owns the game, the mpmissions folder gets populated.

Using my server account which doesn't own DayZ didn't download the mpmissions. Could be something to consider.

@anthony-mariotti is right. the account you use must OWN dayz, otherwise mpmissions does not download!
