Server Selectively Showing Under Community/Won't Show With Mods/Cant Compile World

[AntiMatter89 0]

I'm writing hoping for some answers. I think I may have more than one issue and I can't identify causes for either.

I'm trying to get a server set up on my home PC for my friends and I to play on. I have gone through the trouble of configuring the mods and setting things up the way I want. At this point I want to share with my friends. I discover that my server will show up on LAN but wont show under Community.

No biggie, ports forwarded, firewall down completely for testing. Server will not show under community. steamQueryPort = 2302; in serverDZ, ports 2302-2305 & 27016 forwarded. Server still not showing up. I installed a server on my laptop to isolate the network config and or my main server as the culprit. Server on laptop works fine, lists under community. I suspect a mod may be the culprit so I remove all mods from the start.bat. Server shows up! Yayy. Start adding mods in one by one to find the problem. Turns out all my mods are working?! Start slowly adding mods back in, at a certain point the server stops listing... Switching mods in and out, does not matter. If I have more than 26 it stops working and won't list. The number of mods may be arbitrary who knows. But for some reason I can't get my server to list if I add more mods. So what do I do? The worst thing possible, start packing mods into "server packs" to try and beat the system. Now I have server packs that aren't going to get updates regularly. Oh well, guess we'll deal with it, so I invite a friend to join. They join just fine. Today I planned on having 4-5 people on as a test. Things went to hell. Two people we're getting can't compile world issues and myself and another were able to join no problem. What is going on here, a network issue, and hardware issue, a config issue, some or all of the above?! I'm stumped and at a loss. Please DayZ guru's and code junkies alike. Help me identify and solve this issue, I'll be eternally grateful and even credit you on the server somehow.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm not able to add any more mods to my server and I don't really have that many. Any suggestions?

From what you say, I think it has nothing to do with the server, it occurs to me that it is something in your startup script, the command line probably cuts off when it reaches a certain character limit. You should try loading the mods from a list external to the script, there are some scripts on the internet that show how to do it.

There is also a tool called server manager to directly do everything from there.
