Installing Mods on your Avorion Server
Avorion recently added the ability to automatically download and install content directly from the Steam Workshop.
This is now the method recommended by the developers of Avorion for installing mods, since the server (and the clients) will automatically install, and automatically update any mods from the Workshop. Mods not available on the Steam Workshop can still be used on a server, they just have to be manually installed and must be manually updated from then on.
Workshop mods (automatically installed)
The installation of mods from the Steam Workshop is controlled by creating and editing a file called modconfig.lua on your server. This file needs to be created or uploaded in the avorion_galaxy (if you have named your galaxy something other than the default, this folder will correspond to your galaxy’s name.) directory on the server. If the server has not been started at least once, you will not see the avorion_galaxy folder yet. Just start the server up and then stop it, and the game will create that folder.
In the modconfig.lua file, you will list mods by their Workshop ID numbers, and server will use that list to automatically download and install those mods.
Mods automatically downloaded this way are placed into a workshop folder in your avorion_galaxy folder. This folder will need to be created. The folders and files shown in the screen shot below will all be made automatically by the game, when it downloads Workshop mods listed in your modconfig.lua file.
Inside the workshop directory, mods are stored in the content folder, in a folder labelled 445220 (the application ID number on steam for the game «avorion»). All the numbered folders inside the 445220 directory will be the downloaded mods from the Steam Workshop.
Manually installed mods
Once you’ve downloaded the mods you want from your favorite mod portal, simply upload those files to the mods folder, which may need to be manually created in the avorion_galaxy folder on the server. This is the recommended place to put all mods you add manually.
In reality, mods can be placed in almost any location, since you will specify their location in the same modconfig.lua file mentioned above.
Create the config file, modconfig.lua
In that file, copy and paste the following text as a starting point:
Each section of this config file, and what you need to put in it, will be explained in the following sections.
modLocation = «»
This line is specifying the location of a mods folder other then the default one of /mods in your galaxy folder.
forceEnabling = false
It’s recommended by the developers of Avorion that force enabling be left turned off, as it can cause some issues which can lead to broken or corrupted save files. This is a feature intended for those people who are in the process of developing their own mods.
For Workshop mods
The format above is very important, the workshop ID number must be surrounded by quotes, and the entire line must begin and end with curly brackets, and be followed by a comma, unless it’s the last line in the list.
If you want to temporarily disable a specific mod, it’s recommended to comment out the line (see section below on «comment characters».
For non-workshop mods (manually installed)
use the following lines in the mods = section of the config file, in between the curly brackets:
It’s possible to mix both the «workshopid» and «path» in the mods = section, like the example below:
allowed =
The allowed = section is for client side (mostly UI mods) that are allowed on the server. It is optional, and can be left blank, with nothing between the curly brackets.
List Workshop mods in the same format as the mods = » section above.
Comment characters
Using comments to add the actual name of the mod, like the example of the second line «modlister, by koonschi», can save you a lot of time later on if you need to look up which workshop ID is which actual mod.
Disabling a line in the config
The developer of Avorion does say that disabling a mod can cause situations that lead to corruption of save files. It’s recommended to make backups of the server before disabling previously loaded mods. Disabling a mod is probably best done as part of an investigation into issues with the mods, or in preparation for starting a whole new game.
Even though that line had a comment at the end, by placing comment characters at the very beginning, the entire line is now just one big «comment» (and will be skipped). Since that was the only line in the mods = section, the game will now see that section of the modconfig.lua file as being «empty» and will not download any mods.
Start the Server, and the Mods will be Downloaded
Once the modconfig.lua file has been created and added to the server, on the very next startup the game will attempt to download all the mods listed in the file directly from Steam. You will see each mod being downloaded, and the progress of that download in the «console» tab on your Nodecraft control panel for your Avorion server. The screenshot below shows the progress of a single mod being installed.
Immediately following that will be confirmation messages for any new commands being added by the mod, like the two commands added by the mod shown above.
This mod simply lists what mods are installed on the server, and this is done by using the commands mods or outdatedmods in chat (if you are authorized as an admin).
Players connecting to server can automatically download mods
After Steam workshop mods are successfully installed on your server, any players that join the server will be shown a list of the installed mods and asked if they would like to install them onto their clients. If they agree, the client will automatically download the matching mods to allow them to play on the server. Players simply need to click the «connect & download» button.

Avorion моды как установить
you don’t know where you have Avorion installed? should be steam/SteamApps/Common/Avorion/data
I am assuming each mod will come in it’s own folder. You should probably drop that folder in the data folder. That will keep mods seperated from eachother.
—
Edit:
Huh. looking at the file structure, it seems i’m wrong. That.. seems mildly inconvenient.. I don’t know what to tell you. You can install the files in the data folder themselves, and hope that no other mod you install overwrites them?
was confusing me. Never saw that used as a means to say the game’s folder where it’s installed.
The wording on the install has me confused. It says to install it into the data folder, but then says if there is a data folder in the data folder, you did it wrong.

Did you figure it out? Basically, it is saying that unpacking the mod, has all the needed files in a data folder. You should take all the files you unpacked from that data folder, and drop it into the directory data folder. It’s saying that if you drop the entire data folder from the unpacked mod into the data folder, so the directory looks like «steam/SteamApps/Common/Avorion/data/data/(files)», it’s done wrong. It should be «steam/SteamApps/Common/Avorion/data/(files)»

I should have figured that’s what it meant.

No worries. So long as it gets figured out in the end, that’s what matters, yes? 🙂

Yea, I figured it out, and it works. Tested it with a steel factory. Left the sector with it around 500 in stock. Killed somethings, researched some tech/weapons, came back and it had 1600 in stock. So unless it made 1100 in the few seconds from when I dropped off some supplies to it, and jumped out, I got the mod to work.

I’ve been hesitant with this particular mod. You had the required materials to create the steel, on the base, correct? I’ve been avoiding this particular mod, because I do not wish something to be created from nothing. Reading up on the mod, it seems the mod just simulates time, rather than actually creates anything, which is ok. But if it manufactures items without the required materials to be able to manufacture them normally, then I’m afraid I’d not want to use it.
I first went to the station to see what it needed. At the time it had around 500 steel in stock. I went off to get the scrap metal, and when I got back it was up to 504. It had a little bit of scrap metal in its inventory when I left, and it was all gone when i got back. Then I gave it more scrap metal and it went to town while I was away.
AI ships though do bring stations supplies. When i built my servo station, I spent some time in the sector collecting extra crew to man it, and my ship. By the time I was ready to go off and pick up supplies for the station, it had already made almost 30 servos because of AI ships bringing supplies. So even if you leave a station empty of supplies, and come back to see that it has been productive. You could just chalk it up to doing trade with AI ships, and getting supplies that it needed.

Ah, that’s good to know that it actually uses materials.
I do know that AI’s trade with your station, but that also costs you money when they sell things. If it just simply creates materials, you are not losing any money, but instead just gaining materials for free out of nowhere. That is the problem I had with it ;p
But it sounds like it does indeed just simulate time, still requiring materials are needed, through normal means. thanks for comfirming that.

Avorion. Мини конкурс гайдов по модам. Или часть 5.
Первое. Разработчик вышел из радиомолчания и разработка игры продолжается. В ближайшем обновлении появится система эскадрильей(вы можете объединятся в группы пилотов). Первый шаг к своим фракциям. Так же улучшат серверную часть кода, ваши сервера теперь будут отображаться в списках, а так же новую систему починки. Ну и баг фиксы. Радиомолчание было из-за его переезда в новый офис.
Второе. Каюсь, времени у меня нету на полный пост. Но я придумал сделать по-другому.
А давайте проведем мини конкурс? У меня тут завалялся один интересный origin аккаунт с кучей дорогих игр. Вдруг кому по душе придется) Вот скрин аккаунта:
Если вам это не нравится, то молчите и идите дальше. А если вам захотелось получить на халяву этот аккаунт, то вот правила конкурса:
2) выбираете статью(-и), делаете перевод и постите его в наше сообщество. Чем больше модов хорошо и ясно (!) переведено, то ваши шансы на победу увеличиваются.
Надеюсь, это хоть как-то увеличит аудиторию сообщества и добавит полезных статей к нему 🙂
P.s. Если на конкурс будет заявлено много заявок, то потом (когда-нибудь) проведу конкурс по вашим крафтам, и победитель получит. НУ что-нибудь получит 🙂 Например издание Mass Effect Andromeda.
Спасибо за внимание! (ушел дальше играть в андромеду. )
Хотя что я стараюсь, никому ни аккаунт, ни сообщество не нужны.
Найдены дубликаты
Могу заняться переводами.Вроде перевести смогу да и в аворионе разбираюсь немного.
С удовольствием бы про торговлю и крафтинг почитал
Ну вот уже и 3 поста запилил.
@SupportCommunity, как это понимать вообще?
@MrMagick2104, @GrandGrego, к сожалению, случилась техническая ошибка. Мы удалили посты полностью, @GrandGrego, сделайте, пожалуйста, перепост. Сейчас все должно быть хорошо, и посты будут отражаться в лентах.
@moderator, @SupportCommunity, действительно, почему посты не отображаются?
И так всегда!
Чуть меньше года назад я делаю картинку и выкладываю ее в коменты на Pikabu. И набираю 5 плюсов.
Затем кто то выкладывает картинку сделанную мной в ленту и набирает кучу плюсов.
Ладно, у меня впервые. 🙂
Веганская свадьба
Пришлось мне побывать на веганской свадьбе в аюрведическом заведении.
Впервые на моей памяти отец невесты не наливал втихаря за углом, а раздавал тихонечко котлеты из контейнера.
Дадут ли Героя России ДПСнику?
Все знают, что не так давно звание Героя России присвоили министру МЧС после его неудачного падения со скалы и гибели.
А вот сегодня сотрудник ДПС в Перми совершил реально геройский поступок. В одиночку задержал вооруженного преступника, который совершил массовое убийство в пермском ВУЗе.
Когда преступник увидел сотрудника ДПС, то открыл в его сторону огонь. Сотрудник ответным огнем ранил преступника и задержал. Тем самым он пресек преступление и спас десятки жизней.
Как вы считаете достоин этот сотрудник звания Героя России? Мне просто интересно, как его наградят? Ведомственной медалькой? Он ведь не охранял тело сами знаете кого, а просто спас жизни десятков обычных людей.
Над ним даже постебались неплохо, вот пару примеров:
Avorion Community Commands Package
Решил я перевести мод.Как понятно из названия этот мод добавляет новые команды для админов сервера.Скачать мод можно из источника (первая же ссылка github)
/crew help или /crew для помощи в команде(какие значения вставлять)
/crew add [ранг] [уровень] [кол-во]
Уровень отвечает за то, сколько заполняет очков профессии 1 человек.
1 лвл-1.5 2 лвл-2 и т.д.
Заполнить весь экипаж простыми людьми
/crew clear очистить экипаж
Изменение инвентаря игрока
/inventory turret [редкость(обычный, редкий и т.д.] [материал] [технол. уровень(отвечает за размер орудия и основные параметры] [кол-во]
/inventory upgrade [Редкость] [Кол-во]
цена выбранного корабля
Спавнит вас тут после смерти, нужна своя станция или хорошие отношение с местным(зелёный)
Вместо user-имя.Кидает координаты игрока.
/list help или /list для помощи.
Показывает значения доступные для комманды.Вместо type-crew inventory и т.д.
Добавляет предмет в cargo bay.Например алмазы(diamonds)
/fighter add [Редкость] [материал]
Добавляет файтеры.
Для установки кидаем папку scripts в /data/ из архива.
Дубликаты не найдены
были бы какие-нибудь команды по боссам.. уже заколебался прыгать туда-сюда в поисках..
реально, уже становится не интересно, когда ты накопал всякого, поперевозил, поторговал, а боссов, чтобы выбить легендарные модули, найти не можешь.
у меня не работает
Примеров не было в посте, там фиг разберешься без стакана.
по турелям вроде все понятно, как добавлять.
Пример:
/inventory turret cannon exotic avorion 200 10
эта строчка даст 10 одинаковых пушек типа cannon из авориона, с тех. уровнем 200.
если 10 раз ввести ту же строчку, но на 1 турель, то получите 10 турелей с разными дополнительными характеристиками.
Вот с модулями там не так просто, в плане наименования.
После прочитки скриптовых файлов только понял, как некоторые модули получить.
пара примеров использования команд на получение модулей:
/inventory upgrade hyperspace legendary 10
даст 10 одинаковых легендарных модулей на улучшение гиперпрыжкового двигателя.
если ввести команду на 1 модуль 10 раз, то получите 10 разных модулей с разными характеристиками.
/inventory upgrade hyp legendary 10
то же самое, но сокращенно.
Для этого есть команда лист,
все круто, не понял) спасибо)
Да вы, батенька, некрофил.Пост почти два года назад создан.На момент его создания, всё было OK.
И так всегда!
