A truly manual approach means to download the mod files to your computer, extracting whatever files and overwriting your skyrim data folder with the mod files.You can see why Ilja (and everyone really) recommends a mod manager. Before you install mods, it is a good idea to organise the mods that you have and any that you download. This is true whether you use Mod Management tools or choose to install your mods manually. Ensure that the mods are renamed if the original zip file has a name that doesn’t match the mod itself. Download a mod from your favorite modding website. If you are given an option between common archive types such as ZIP, RAR, or 7z then choose that one. Other types are most likely specific to mod managers and cannot be installed manually. If you are given an option between manually downloading or using a manager, choose manual. Download a mod you want to install either manually or through NMM. (Follow this tutorial if you don't know how to download mods) NMM-Installation: First make sure NMM (Nexus Mod Manager) is installed. Then simply double-click the mod in the 'Mods' tab of NMM after it has finished downloading your mod. It will now begin to install your mod.

This is less of an issue and more of a question, couldn't find a way to contact you guys otherwise. I've tried using arkmanager, but it was having issues not reading the cfg files in /etc/arkmanager so I've been trying to do it without a server wrapper. Just wondering what exactly you guys are executing for downloading a mod for the server (more specifically the valhalla mod)? I've tried /home/steam/steamcmd.steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +workshop_download_item 346110 504122600 +quit This returns that it's failed 'ERROR! Download item 504122600 failed (No match).' What syntax do you guys use with steamcmd to download mods for the dedicated server? |

@joebywan the command you are using is the correct command. Note however that with large mods it takes a few attempts to fully download the mod, as steamcmd will timeout after a couple of minutes. Also note that once the mod has been downloaded, it needs to be unpacked into the Mods directory - refer the |

Oh cool, so will it automatically download to the app's install folder? I was getting the regular timeout when running it with mod_appid:-346110 instead of just 346110. When just running as 346110 it gave the above error. I figured there had to be a way easier than downloading it elsewhere and ftp'ing it in like others have recommended. I'll keep at it then. Appreciate the tips, thanks! |
