Service

TModLoader

Modified

No, I did not modify the egg

Expected Behavior

When setting up a TModLoader server as a modpack, you can’t enter a Steam ID for ModPacks. Bisect Hosting allows this: they use the Steam Workshop Collection ID.
For example, the Steam ID for the Infernal Eclipse of Ragnarok modpack is 3456508757.

Being able to load a modpack by Steam ID makes the setup much faster and easier.

I have also asked this in the official TMoDLoader Repo and this is their answer :

I'm not familiar with what paid hosting solutions do, but our server scripts (https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/tree/stable/patches/tModLoader/Terraria/release_extras/DedicatedServerUtils#obtaining-installtxt) do use an install.txt file that contains steamids of the workshop items to download.

Our standalone server script should handle everything someone would need to install a specific modpack and run the server using the contained mods.

Eggs can't / aren't allowed to use scripts

Also the egg doesn't even use steamcmd so you can't download mods, just upload them yourself

Since you're using the original tmodloader server installation, why can't it use the install.txt that the official tmodloader people told me.
That conversation in present in the main message that I've sent.
For example, the curse forge egg uses the modpack code to install it without you manually doing everything like in this case.
Why can't we use the steam code to install modpacks and make the installation of modpacks easier , and since terraria modpacks have constant updates it could make it a lot faster to jump in since the update will be done through pelican panel.

why not a rewrite to steamcmd, when tmodloader is also on steam
