How to Add Workshop Scenarios to Your Arma Reforger Server Print

Hosting a custom Workshop scenario in Arma Reforger gives you full control over your mission experience. This guide walks you through how to find the necessary mod and scenario details, and how to manually configure them in your server's serverconfig.json file.

Step 1: Gather Mod and Scenario Information

You’ll need the following:

• modId

• name

• version

• gameId (Scenario ID)

1. Visit: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop

2. Select the mod containing the scenario

3. Copy the following:

   • Mod ID

   • Name

   • Version

4. Click the Scenarios tab

5. Copy the Scenario ID (gameId) — it looks like this:

   {6EA2E454519E5869}Missions/CAH_Military_Base.conf
   

Method 2: From ServerData.json (Installed Mod)

1. Install the mod in-game via the Workshop browser

2. Navigate to your local mod install path:

   C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons\
   

3. Open the relevant mod folder

Locate the mods block and add your mods using this format:

"mods": [
  {"modId":"591AF5BDA9F7CE8B","name":"Capture & Hold","version":"1.0.8"}
