moddodo for Ark: Survival Evolved

---

Improved Linux fork of barrycarey/Ark_Mod_Downloader

You cannot simply download ARK mods for linux servers via SteamCMD. The individual files come archived as .z files which will not work directly with a server. This tool allows direct downloading of mods and extracting their .z files, so that you do not need to maintain anything else on the server.

Usage

This tool is intended be run with python3.

Commandline Arguments

• --serverdir PATH - (optional) - home directory of the server (containing the /ShooterGame folder)
• --modids ID [ID...] - space-separated list of steam IDs of the mod you wish to
• --steamcmd PATH - (optional) directory of the SteamCMD install you wish to use, if not under ~/steam/Steam
• --updatemods - (optional) - update all mods currently installed on the server
• --deletecache - (optional) - deletes previously downloaded mods in SteamCMD for multi-server environments
