mod mismatch after server restart #842

Open dorsepp opened 7 years ago

dorsepp commented 7 years ago

Hello,

first of all, thank you for the great work. This tool is amazing. I am using it since one year and it works perfect except one thing.

Since a few weeks I have the issue that I have to reinstall all mods via "arkamanger uninstallmods" and "arkamanger installmods" after every single restart of my server. (It worked before and I changed nothing).

I tried all suggestions I found in the issues section, but without any success.

Here are the issues where I tried the answers:

If you need any further information let me know. I tried many things before I posted this so I hope some of you specialists can help me out.

Thank you in advance and kind regards

In order to help work out what is happening, please:

  1. re-install the mods
  2. before starting the server, copy ShooterGame/Content/Mods to another directory (e.g. /home/ark2/oldmods
  3. start the server
  4. after stopping the server, compare the contents of ShooterGame/Content/Mods to the old content from step 2, using e.g. diff -qr /home/ark2/oldmods /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/Mods
  5. uninstall the mods again
  6. enable ark_automanagemods=true
  7. start the server
  8. after stopping the server, compare the contents of ShooterGame/Content/Mods to the old content from step 2, using e.g. diff -qr /home/ark2/oldmods /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/Mods

Hello klightspeed,

thank you for the quick response after your step 4 I have the following result:

After your steps I reinstalled the mods and started the server. I tried a join and it was okay as always. Than I restarted the server and had the same issue with the mod mismatch. In the following you can see the result of the compare from the mod folder:

ark2@Debian-87-jessie-64-minimal:~$ diff -qr /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/oldmods/Mods/ /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/Mods
Only in /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/oldmods/Mods/: 538827119.mod
Only in /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/oldmods/Mods/: 554678442.mod
Only in /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/oldmods/Mods/: 558079412.mod
Only in /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/oldmods/Mods/: 566885854.mod
Only in /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/oldmods/Mods/: 600705968.mod
Only in /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/oldmods/Mods/: 731604991.mod
Only in /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/oldmods/Mods/: 811366897.mod
Only in /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/oldmods/Mods/: 876038468.mod
Only in /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/oldmods/Mods/: 881446972.mod
Only in /home/ark2/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/oldmods/Mods/: 928102085.mod

After a new uninstall and install the compare have no output so the files are the same. I have no idea what is going on here. But it seems like that after the server start the *.mod files are deleted in the Mod directory. I also noticed that you wrote that I have to add ark_automanagemods=true and I have the line arkflag_automanagedmods=anything in the cfg but changed it in arkflag_automanagedmods=true too without a reaction. Can you tell me what the difference between the two lines is?

Maybe you have an idea what the reason is. Thank you in advance.

kind regards

Sepp

klightspeed commented 7 years ago

Where the documentation says anything, it means any non-empty string.

Where I wrote ark_automanagemods=true, I meant to write arkflag_automanagedmods=true

The fact that the game server is deleting the .mod files seems to suggest that -automanagedmods is enabled regardless of whether or not you are specifying arkflag_automanagedmods=true. It would also appear that -automanagedmods is ignoring the mods specified in GameModIds

Is anything mentioned in arkserver.log?

dorsepp commented 7 years ago

Unfortunately the logs are saying nothing. I tried a reinstall of the instance too. There was a hint in issue I wrote above, where it is suggested to uncomment the GameModIds in the instance cfg an add it to GameUserSettings.ini. But I have the same problem. I have no idea what I can try. The anything was clear to me but a User in another issue wrote this solved his problem. It thougt I give it a try... It would be great if you had another tip for me.
