Mod stopped loading after latest Atlas update
Hey all! First I should preface by saying, this is my first time running an ark-type server, so all of this is new to me, especially mods. I tried looking though the Discussions and Comments, but couldn't find this same set of symptoms. Any pointers or help is much appreciated!

I was able to get this mod loaded and working back on 3/10, and it's been working fine ever since then, in fact we all loved it!! Recently, my cluster updated to the latest game version, and the mod has stopped loading. I used to see it load (lower left corner of screen) when launching the game and rejoining the server, but now I never see the CustomItemStacks part of the load sequence. This is true for all players on our cluster, and not just with me.

I have verified that my serverconfig.json file still shows the mod ID, as well as all of the server GUS.ini files. Is there something else I need to check or verify to get the mod to load again after that last update?

Thanks very much!
Kerghen

You could try to completely remove the mod from your server and then let it reinstall. Maybe the game update did delete something -> e. g. the mod.info file or so...

Hey Impulse! Thank you for the suggestion! I did try that this morning, but it didn't help, but I also figured out why...

I am hosting my server through Nitrado, and up until very recently they didn't have a native/built in method for installing and maintaining mods. In order to install one, the procedure was 100% manual. I had to create the Content/Mods directory on each server in the cluster, then upload the mod folder and mod file. I also had to modify the server-config.json file to "know" about the active mod ID. This is the process I redid this morning hoping it would get the mod to load again.

Well apparently, Nitrado just added modding capabilities! After that last update, I noticed a place on the GUI to enter a mod ID, something that didn't exist early last week. The wiki has also been updated with new instructions on how to add mods. The new method for mods in Nitrado servers is simply to enter the mod ID in the server-config.json file, or the active mod field on the GUI. The host takes care of the rest, however since I had already done the leg work, the hosts process wouldn't completely run, therefore the mod wouldn't load. Once I removed the folder and mod files from all of the Mods directories, the mod loaded up and worked just fine again!

Thank you for replying, and for the mod, we really do love it! I believe you can close this discussion now! :)
