Installing mods

[jwilling]

First of all, thanks for the project. I love how easy it is to spin up a quick dedicated server!

I’m interested in installing some mods. I wonder what the best way is to do this with this image. Maybe the mods folder could be exposed as a volume?

Just include the volume in your run command or docker-compose eg. docker run avivace/ror2server:0.1 -p 27015:27015/udp -v $HOST_DIR:/home/steam/ror2-dedicated/BepInEx

You’re right, that totally should work. Thanks!

Reopening this issue since mods are not working.

The problem seems to arise from wine DLL override behaviour. Here's the recommended fix, but it requires using the winecfg gui.

I am currently trying to understand how to translate all that into bash commands.

I tried fiddling with wine by modifying the command used to start the server.

• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" xvfb-run /opt/wine-stable/bin/wine "${STEAMAPPDIR}/Risk of Rain 2.exe"
  • prefer native libraries, wine builtin after
  • nothing different happens
  • WINEDEBUG=+loaddlls shows both native and builtin winhttp.dll being loaded in said order
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n" xvfb-run /opt/wine-stable/bin/wine "${STEAMAPPDIR}/Risk of Rain 2.exe"
  • prefer native libraries, ignore wine builtin
  • stuck after "Starting server...", nothing happens after that
  • WINEDEBUG=+loaddlls shows that it is indeed trying to do something, but instead of loading UnityPlayer.dll + jsproxy.dll + winhttp.dll (builtin) it is instead loading UnityPlayer + winex11.drv + usp10.dll and then getting stuck
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=" xvfb-run /opt/wine-stable/bin/wine "${STEAMAPPDIR}/Risk of Rain 2.exe"
  • Disables both native libraries and wine builtin
  • Fails to load winhttp.dll (as expected, but I tested anyway)

In the end, I am left with more questions than answers:

• nb-mode - why is it loading winhttp.dll both times, and if it is intended, why is Doorstop not being executed?
• n-mode - why is it loading usp10.dll which is never loaded in nb-mode, and why is it getting stuck?

PR #10 should have fixed mods support. Checkout the new README for instructions and let me know if there are any problems or questions.
