How to mod servers

[chadstanza]

Hi, I am new to the whole insurgency server set up and I just need some help to get modding off the ground.
Does anyone have a guide as to how to mod servers?
Mainly just looking to add improved ai and modded maps but if weapons work the same way that'll be awesome.

Since modding is new, there isn't really much documentation that I could find.
But if you have a link to a guide that I missed that would be great if you could share.
Cheers.

Wrong subforums, we have a Community Server subforum tho.

Anyway, i will help you out.

1. Create an account at https://mod.io

2. Log-in into your mod.io account an click on your name (Top right corner).

3. On the left side menu of the new page click on API Access.

4. Under OAuth 2 Management create an Access Token with read rights (Write is not needed).

5. Copy the Token created and save it somewhere safe since you won’t be able to access it again after closing that page.

6. Edit your server’s Engine.ini and add the following:[/script/modkit.modioclient]
bHasUserAcceptedTerms=True
AccessToken=TOKEN HERE

7. Add the -Mods parameter into your start command line for example: /sandstorm/Insurgency/Binaries/Linux/InsurgencyServer-Linux-Shipping Hideout?Scenario=Scenario_Hideout_Checkpoint_Security?port=27010?queryport=27011?MaxPlayers=8 -log -AdminList=Admins -Mods -GSLTToken=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -GameStats -MapCycle=MapCycle -hostname=”My Server Name”

8. Create a new file called “Mods.txt” inside the directory /sandstorm/Insurgency/Config/Server

9. Inside the Mods.txt you will add each mod ID one per line.

If you want to add custom maps into your map cycle file, you need to search for the map scenario name. You can usually find the map name and the scenario name at the mods page.

If you want so start your server with a custom map you need to add -ModDownloadTravelTo= parameter into your start command line.

For example, using the above start command line:

/sandstorm/Insurgency/Binaries/Linux/InsurgencyServer-Linux-Shipping Hideout?Scenario=Scenario_Hideout_Checkpoint_Security?port=27010?queryport=27011?MaxPlayers=8 -AdminList=Admins -Mods -GSLTToken=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -GameStats -MapCycle=MapCycle -ModDownloadTravelTo=MapName?Scenario=MapScenarioName -log -hostname=”My Server Name”

Assuming your launch parameters are okay - It's hard to tell since you blanked/cut out so many pieces and forgot to close the " at the end etc.. try adding this in your Game.ini

[/script/insurgency.insmultiplayermode]
bUseMapCycle=True
bMapVoting=True

but u know.. under [ /Script/Insurgency.INSMultiplayerMode ], damn Steam forums transforms it to lowercase :S

And make sure your MapCycle file contains valid map names I suppose

I have "bUseMapCycle=True" and I have the Mods.txt file created and have listed the mod IDs. I have the map names in the mapcycle file, and I have the -Mods in the command line. What am I missing? I want the modded maps to be voteable at the end of a match... but all I'm getting is the default stock maps.

Any chance you can send what is in your MapCycle file?

Maybe try it like this in your config:
(Scenario="Scenario_Hideout_Checkpoint_Security",Mode="Checkpoint")
