2. Add the Mods to your Server Startup Command Line
As we explained in our ARMA 3 server setup guide, your server’s startup command line should look something like this:
'D:ArmaServersClanServerarma3server.exe' -profiles=ArmaHosts -port=2302 -config=serverserver.cfg -world=empty -name=ArmaHosts -noPause -loadMissionToMemory -autoInit -enableHT
Now, just add [email protected]_Folder_Name to your server’s command line. To add multiple mods, separate mod names with a semicolon: [email protected]_Folder_Name;@Mod_Folder_Name_2
