Is the problem from pressing the "public game" button in-game, or are you switching from Dedicated to normal server?

A server that is started not from the client will not load steam workshop mods

It is an odd situation.
My server and client scripts both have the following lines.
scripts/extrashot.lua
extrashot.lua
My mod's structure is everything is just sitting in the scripts folder.
When I check the server status log- I get the below checksum.

# timestamp ; serverid ; players ; maxplayers ; public ; serverName ; gamemode ; serverversion

1506594059 ; 1073096679 ; 0 ; 8 ; false ; "Mazzle Dazzles Turf Server" ; "Turf Zero" ; 1.0.12-uvej

If I start a single player game, there is no issue and the mod works as intended. But if I start from the mulitplayer- host game tab it gives me a checksum mismatch.
Below is an exerpt from my start server file. It appears both are detecting tho mod/workshop item.

6:20:03 28/09/2017 --serverName "PRIVATE" --saveGame "Mazzle_Dazzle_Turf_Zero_2017-9-27_20-12" --publicGame OFF --dedicated OFF --difficulty 1 --maxPlayers 8 --singlePlayer 65881130 --hostPlayer 65881130 --newGame OFF --steam --wsi "E:\\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\workshop\\content\\404530\\1148674200"

6:20:29 28/09/2017 --serverName "Mazzle Dazzles Turf Server" --saveGame "Mazzle_Dazzle_Turf_Zero_2017-9-27_20-12" --publicGame OFF --dedicated OFF --difficulty 1 --maxPlayers 8 --hostPlayer 65881130 --newGame OFF --steam --wsi "E:\\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\workshop\\content\\404530\\1148674200"

I just checked the checksum of the client while I'm running this mod and it is lvjv. This is why its having the mismatch, but I don't know why they are evaluating to different ones.

I checked some other mods but I can't find any with Lua scripting to compare but it seems the ones that modify blocks don't have this issue and you bigger city mod doesn't seem to either.

I figured it out. I just didn't need client scripts at all.

Server only lua mods don't change the checksum.

Thanks for the very detailed investigation

Custom vehicle demo have a scipt and mismatch of checksum.

Does it have a client scripts file?
