[41.61] [Multiplayer] Server does not update mods

[co-]

It seems the mods installed on a pzserver are not being updated, even when the pzserver is restarted. The only workaround I found so far is to stop pzserver, delete the following file:

steamapps/workshop/appworkshop_108600.acf

And then start pzserver again.

 

Would it be possible to make pzserver to update the mods on restart? Lot of users seem to have issues because of this, so it would probably help with support too.

Also, bonus point if you can make it possible for an admin to trigger the mod update process from inside the game without restarting pzserver (I understand it might not be as simple as it sounds though).

It seems the procedure I described in my previous post is not working for all cases, so here's another solution if your server mods are not updating correctly.

 

For the next steps it is assumed that:

- pzserver is installed in ${HOME}/pzserver

- steamcmd.sh is installed in ${HOME}/Steam

 

Update the commands according to your setup

# Stop pzserver
        type "quit" in pzserver console, press enter, and wait for pzserver to shutdown

# Delete steamapps folder
        rm -rf ${HOME}/pzserver/steamapps/

# Update pzserver using SteamCMD
        ${HOME}/Steam/steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir "${HOME}/pzserver" +login anonymous +app_update 108600 +quit

# start pzserver
         ${HOME}/pzserver/start-server.sh
