Originally created by @Talven81 on GitHub (Mar 4, 2016).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/739

Originally assigned to: @cedarlug on GitHub.

When issuing ./arma3server START the following mod variable works.
mods="@CBA_A3;@ace;"

When issuing DEBUG the escape backslashes cause the mods to fail to load and only works if as such.
mods="@CBA_A3;@ace;"

This is due to direct issuing of the command in DEBUG vs. issuing the command during START through tmux requiring escape backslashes for the string to be accepted.

This can be fixed by modifying command_debug.sh and adding in on line 56 a translation string to strip out the backslashes.
parms=$(echo $parms | tr -d )

This also applies to servermods variable, but the above takes care of both.

i have just noticed this also. in compiling a tutorial for the mods folders, i was double checking and came across this issue, @Talven81 i will test it out under both debug and standard.
@UltimateByte if it pans out i will do a pull request for it. Testing it out tonight.

Thanks @Talven81 i think you have saved a lot of tooth pulling :)

Hi Dan,
@Talven81 never posted back his solution,
indeed there is a difference in how debug and start works. I have got nowhere with this though as i cannot code tmux, it is well above me.

for now i have been just working around this issue. i am more than happy to test any ideas on it you may have.

i did notice that
parms=$(echo $parms | tr -d \) threw errors, yet parms=$(echo $parms | tr -d \ ) (with space before trailing bracket got further. but errored.

in #651 i posted a few example of what works and what doesn't. in all honesty though i stopped hosting mods and just went vanilla.

regards.
Doug

All works as it should. Confirmed with @XxROBOTICSxX today, walking him through the process.
