Arma 3 linux: no launcher nor enabled mods

[Sticas]

Hello, i have recently installed Arma 3 on my linux machine and apparently there's no launcher available, how can i enable mods without the launcher?

[♡ TF2 Hat Collector ♡]

In launch options (in steam properties for arma 3) set this;
-mod=@modname;@modname;

Thats how you do it in arma 2, pretty sure it's still the same.

if it doesnt work, then simply remove it from launch options.

the mod folder must start with an '@' symbol and be in your arma 3 folder I believe.

Same problem here, no launcher, so can't download and install mods

linux launch options:
-mod=@mod_name -mod=@mod_name ....

If I'm understanding this correctly, I could put this in the launch options in steam to direct the directory of the mods and then the mods I want enabled: -mods=/mnt/Ext/arma\ mods\;@mod1\;@mod2\;@mod3\; and so on. Is this correct or am I missing something?

steam launch commsnd in arma launcher...
-mod=@mod_name1 -mod=@mod_name2 -mod=@mod_name3 -mod=@mod_name4

That's the thing, there is NO ARMA 3 LAUNCHER IN LINUX. You can only add additional command parameters within the steam client. I've also looked into it further, you can add mods from a different directory but it has to have the full pathing to every mod like so: -mod=/mnt/Ext/arma \mods/@mod1\;/mnt/Ext/arma\ mods/@mod2\; and so on.

You might want to check your wording, as it is censored.

for windows: -mod=@mod_name1;@mod_name2 ...
for unix : -mod=@mod_name1 -mod=@mod_name2 ...

What I expressed in post #8 is the correct way of doing it in either unix/linux, as you forgot to put in the breaks: \; Otherwise only one mod will work and not the rest. Also, with my method, you are able to use mods from any directory you wish, just in case you don't have space on the current drive where arma 3 is installed or you prefer to segregrate your mods from the base game. Either way, the method works. Happy Playing

This is not a hard requirement, it is rather the neat and orderly way. Sure helps keeping your directory sorted.
