Add Workshop Scenarios to Your Arma Reforger Server

Install custom community scenarios from the Steam Workshop on your Arma Reforger dedicated server.

Arma Reforger supports custom scenarios from the Steam Workshop. Workshop scenarios are delivered as mods that contain custom .conf scenario files. To use one, you add the mod to your mod list, then point scenarioId at the workshop scenario's .conf path.

Find a Workshop Scenario

Browse the Workshop

Visit the Arma Reforger Steam Workshop and filter by Scenarios or Game Modes.

Get the mod ID

On the Workshop page, find the mod's GUID (16-character hex). You'll need this to add the mod to your config.

Install a Workshop Scenario

Open the Config Editor

In the XGamingServer Panel, click Arma Reforger Config in the sidebar.

Config Tool in the sidebar

Add the mod

Go to the Mods tab. Search for the scenario mod by name or paste its mod ID. Click Add.

Config Editor Mods tab

Set the scenario

Go to the Game tab. Toggle Use Custom Scenario and paste the workshop scenario's .conf path:

{SCENARIO_GUID}Missions/CustomScenario.conf

Save and restart

Click Save Changes and restart from Console.

Stop the server

Edit config.json

In Files, open config.json. Add the mod and set scenarioId:

"game": {
  "scenarioId": "{SCENARIO_GUID}Missions/CustomScenario.conf",
  "mods": [
    {
      "modId": "WORKSHOP_MOD_GUID_HERE",
      "name": "Custom Scenario Mod"
    }
  ]
}

Save and start

Find the Scenario `.conf` Path

If the Workshop page doesn't list the scenario ID, you can discover it:

Add the mod to your server

Install the mod first (without setting scenarioId).

Add -listScenarios startup parameter

In Startup, add -listScenarios to the startup parameters. See Startup Parameters.

Start and check Console

Start the server from Console. The startup output lists all available scenarios, including those from installed mods, under "Workshop scenarios".

Copy the path

Find your custom scenario's .conf path and use it as the scenarioId.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
Scenario not appearing	Verify the mod ID and that the mod loaded successfully in Console
Server crashes on start	The scenario may be incompatible with the current Reforger version. Check the Workshop page
Mod not downloading	Check the server has internet access and the mod ID is correct. Some mods have dependencies
Wrong scenario ID format	The format is `{16-char hex GUID}Missions/Filename.conf` — make sure both braces are present
