  1. Search for the desired mod using the search filter or by browsing through the available mods.
  2. Download the mod by clicking Download in the Workshop.

Step 2: Add the Mod to Your Server Configuration

  1. Access your server hosting’s web interface.

  2. Navigate to Settings > Configuration Files.

  3. Open the config.json file and find the section for mods:

    "mods": []
    
  4. Add your mod’s information to the list. For example:

    Single Mod Example:

 { "mods": [ { "modId": "591AF5BDA9F7CE8B", "name": "Capture & Hold", "version": "1.0.0" } ] }

Multiple Mods Example:

{ "mods": [
  { "modId": "abcd3995-b1d9-473d-aa11-0836c0a595ad", "name": "WeaponSwitching", "version": "1.0.1" },
  { "modId": "efgh3995-b1d9-473d-aa11-0836c0a595ad", "name": "Explosive Goats beta", "version": "0.5.42" }
] }
  1. Save the changes to the config.json file.

Step 3: Configure the Mission

  1. In the web interface, go to Settings > General.

  2. Enter the desired scenario for the mod in the appropriate field.

  3. Alternatively, edit the scenarioId in the config.json file directly. For example:

    "scenarioId": "{6EA2E454519E5869}Missions/CAH_Military_Base.conf"
    
  4. Save the updated configuration.


Step 4: Verify Your Configuration

  1. Copy the contents of your config.json file.
  2. Use an online JSON validator (e.g., JSONLint) to check for errors.
  3. Correct any issues if necessary and save the file again.
    Validate JSON

Step 5: Restart Your Server

  1. In the web interface, restart your server to apply the changes.
  2. Connect to your server to confirm the mods and scenario are working as intended.

With these steps, your Arma Reforger server will be equipped with mods, allowing you and your friends to enjoy a customized gaming experience. Happy gaming!
