ArkUpdateScript

A Python script to update ARK server mods Tested on Linux only but this should work on Windows as well

Requirements

  • Python 3 (Python 2 should work as well but is untested, PyPy 3 is tested and works)
  • Python requests module
  • SteamCMD

Installation

  1. Clone the project into a directory
  2. Set your ark server directory in settings.ini (the directory that includes ShooterGame)
  3. Set your SteamCMD installation directory

Usage

If you have Python 3 installed, you can simply call ./update.py or you can specify a different Python interpreter with <python interpreter> update.py. To save time, the ARK server files won't be updated by default. If you want to update the ARK server files as well, call the script with the --update_game option. The script will automatically fetch mods from the ActiveMods option in ShooterGame/Saved/Config/<Linux/Windows>Server/GameUserSettings.ini so you won't have to configure the installed mods manually.
