Pc server and mods from mod.io ?

[TonyStovepipe]

Hello.
I'm on pc with another PC running the SE server and my son on Xbox.

I want to add this mod to our server but I'm not sure how https://mod.io/g/spaceengineers/m/modular-encounters-spawner2
With steam workshop I simply add the ID of the mod and it downloads but I am unsure of the process of installing mods from mod.io if anyone could help us.

Thanks for advice.

Modular Encounters Systems (MES) is available on the workshop.

MES it self is a framework. It doesn't do anything by it self. We have to also click on, subscribe to, and run the addon mods for it from the MES collection or MES-Friendly Mods lists linked in the description.

In before Dan locks this thread because it's old ... If you need more help create a new forum post in the Multiplayer section...

I am not sure what you are asking ... Blender is a 3D graphics package often used to create the model files for blocks for gaming software, it's commonly used by Space Engineers modders to create the model files for new blocks.

Adding mods to a Nitrado server I think could be done through their web-based server management user interface, but if you want or need to add them to the server configuration file manually, the file format should look like this...

Extracts of sample server configuration files...

Steam:

<Mods>
<ModItem FriendlyName="Offset Vertical Button Panels">
<Name>3019068324.sbm</Name>
<PublishedFileId>3019068324</PublishedFileId>
<PublishedServiceName>Steam</PublishedServiceName>
</ModItem>
</Mods>

Mod.IO (for game console clients or crossplay for steam/PC and console) :

<Mods>
<ModItem FriendlyName="EDP - Door Pack 1">
<Name>2150441.sbm</Name>
<PublishedFileId>2150441</PublishedFileId>
<PublishedServiceName>mod.io</PublishedServiceName>
</ModItem>
</Mods>

Note that for a Steam based server for PC clients, you can add both Steam and mod.io based mods to the server, that is quite acceptable. I think Console clients on an EOS based server can only use mod.io, but I'm not certain about that.

Notes before I lock :

Keep in mind MIcrosoft does not allow player made script on XBox and playstation.

+
The PC version is open at large for Modding/Scripting and got more planets not compatible with the MS + Xbox + PlayStation = those have limited worlds with no more than 3 different planets.

MS + Xbox + PlayStation version = Not compatible with PC so we must enable compatibility mode for crossplay and that means smaller world with no more than 3 different planets.


EDIT
Don't be shy to create a new forum discussion that matches the game version if needed.
