Linux Mods, how to?

[SittingDuck01]

Hi.

I have been looking around trying to understand how to get the workshop mods like RHSUSAF, RHSAFRF, RHSGREF and RHSSAF to work on Linux.

I know that on windows this works through the launcher and i've seen some people on Linux get this right, I am a total noob so I don't understand how it's done.

Is there anyone who has the patience to walk me though this?

Thanks.

I have tried this in the launcher options:

-mod=@RHSUSAF\;@RHSAFRF\;@RHSGREF\;@RHSSAF

Then in the game at the bottom left there are icons labled "@RHSUSAF" etc but when trying to join the server it still says I don't have them. So something is happening and I feel I am almost there but missing something...

Hi,

Seems like that is for setting up a server with mods, doesn't seem to be the same thing. I just want to join a server which requires mods, specifically these mods:

RHSUSAF
RHSAFRF
RHSGREF
RHSSAF

I have "subscribed" to those mods from the workshop already. Just a matter of getting ARMA to realise that they are installed...

Hello

Sorry for the wrong link,,, can you do one test, turn on editor and see if your mods go on if so than ure ok and the server where you try to connect have older mods running.
You gif the info that u see the mods logo left under ure screen so my feeling that ure have install it ok.

How do I turn on the editor? Sorry I am not good with this stuff

[SittingDuck01]

Do you mean the Eden Editor where you can create your own missions?

[ThunderStorm]

Hello

Yes the eden editor on that way you can test and see if its ok

[SittingDuck01]

I tried and can't see the new items. It does say in the top right corner that I am running a modded version of the game though... This is why I think I have almost got it right, just something small missing.

When I subscribe to the mods in the workshop (they are 9GiGs in total) but I don't see steam actually downloading them in the "downloads" screen... something I would have noticed if these mods are 9G...

I have used mods before with Euro Truck Simulator so it does work, just ARMA giving problems.

[SittingDuck01]

I just see now that there is some activity on the downloads page but no description of what it is... Let me see once it's finished and try again.

I will let you know, thank you for your help so far.

Athor idea try to use this launcher for mods if you will join a server whit mods running.

Do you know if that works with Linux?

[ThunderStorm]

I see not the info if its runs on linux but have this link for u than

https://github.com/muttleyxd/arma3-unix-launcher

I know linux s verry good to use but not many support for it for games or athor software

[SittingDuck01]

I have tried that link before, it's complicated to get to work

[ThunderStorm]
