A Python script to update ARK server mods Tested on Linux only but this should work on Windows as well
- Python 3 (Python 2 should work as well but is untested, PyPy 3 is tested and works)
- Python
requests
module - SteamCMD
- Clone the project into a directory
- Set your ark server directory in settings.ini (the directory that includes ShooterGame)
- Set your SteamCMD installation directory
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.
