How do I add a mod to a dedicated server?

[A Big Hairy Monster]

I found somewhere that said all I needed was the mod ID # from the workship page (I want to use the GPS/Waypoint mod, 363037395 ) and type that into the 'Mods' box in the server setup. But whenever I do this, the server just fails. The log shows the following:

2015-01-17 11:23:48.861 - Thread: 1 -> Error: No IP assigned.

This ONLY happens when numbers are entered into the mods box in server setup. If I leave it blank, the world loads perfectly fine.

Unfortauntely, finding actual step-by-step instructions for mod installation on dedicated servers has mostly alluded me. Other than the 'make a world in single player with mods loaded, then copy the folder' and 'just type the mod ID in'

Anyone have a consise explanation and/or link to an updated resource?

Most people I know copy the world locally and change the setting (such as adding a mod), then copy the world back with the mods built in to the world.

Find your servers save file
Find sandbox.sbc
open it with notepad

find <Mods>
insert
<ModItem>
<Name>363037395sbm</Name>
<PublishedFileId>363037395</PublishedFileId>
</ModItem>

Create new entries for each mod making sure to inclue the <moditem> and </moditem> tags
After you have added all the mods you want make sure there is a </mods> tag at the end

Save the SBC file and boot up the server

why do people make is sound complicated. when in the server config menu just add the mods id # (just the mod ID number not the whole address) in the steam workshop to the mod field, load the game and your are done.

In the dedicated server configuration menu, there is a text box for mods. That's where you need to add the mod ID.

Holy Thread Necro, Batman!

... at least it was relatively on topic, though. Lmao.

Really though, shoulve waited like 3 days to post.. then it couldve been an entire year!

Every time I add just the mod ID# to the mods box it makes it where no one can join the server. As soon as I remove the mod the server runs just fine. Seems to do it with any mod I try.

<Mods>
<unsignedLong>559202083</unsignedLong>
<unsignedLong>316190120</unsignedLong>
<unsignedLong>693510164</unsignedLong>
<unsignedLong>524821179</unsignedLong>
<unsignedLong>693253011</unsignedLong>
<unsignedLong>710167265</unsignedLong>
</Mods>

This is how your server config should look for the mods Block

Never mind. I will answer my own question to other people who would need this. The id can be found on the link of the mod

Experimental mode must be enabled in game option to unlock the "Add Mods" button in world settings.

+ Now you will be able to select your save, click the "Settings" button on the left + click the add Mods button to add your Fav Mods to your world.

+
Transfer that local save to the Dedic saves folder = very easy this way.
OR
Enable Steam Workshop on the Dedic console and just add the Mods you need.
