Install mods for Avorion Server
Mods are added to Avorion via the modconfig.lua file. To enable mods on dedicated servers, create a modconfig.lua file in your server's galaxy folder.
MyAwesomeGalaxy/
├── alliances/
├── factions/
├── mods/ <-- Optional location for your mods
├── players/
├── sectors/
├── workshop/ <-- Server downloads workshop mods here by default
├── server.ini
└── modconfig.lua <-- Configure mods in this file
modconfig.lua example:
modLocation = "" -- Only needed if your mod location is something besides the default of .../galaxies/avorion/galaxy/mods/
forceEnabling = false
mods = -- Mods installed server-side
{
, -- Workshop Mods
,
{path = prefix .. "mymod"}, -- Non-workshop mods. prefix should be replaced with the directory containing the mods
{path = prefix .. "AnotherMod"}
-- Note there is no comma on the last set of {}
}
allowed = -- List of allowed client-side mods
{
, -- Workshop Mods
,
{path = prefix .. "mymod"}, -- Non-workshop mods. prefix should be replaced with the directory containing the mods
{path = prefix .. "AnotherMod"}
-- Note there is no comma on the last set of {}
