Install different branches

Install different branches

This would be an expample for 7 Days to Die undead legacy mod. The mod latest version is A20.7 b1 and is not up to date to the game 1.0 version. or any game you are trying to install a previous version. If you use the ssm default optional name for the game it will install the current version. To install another branch. run the install command with a custom serverfolder name. i.e. ssm install 7d2dundead. This will prompt for the steam ID. which you can find on steamdb by searching "7 days to Die dedicated server". App ID 294420. Or you can check the .csv in the data folder. if you scroll down on the steamdb page, you can find the different brach names. "alpha20.7" looks right. the second ssm prompt will ask for branch argument. -beta alpha20.7

ssm install 7d2dundead
Enter App ID: 294420
Then at the branch arg.
Enter branch arg: -beta alpha20.7

❗ make sure to turn off 'update on start' in the config-local/local_settings.ps1 or it will automatically update the game on start. you can verify you got the right build id. in ssm when startig the server, there is a build id message. or you can check the .acf in the server folder 7d2dundead\steamapps\appmanifest_294420.acf there is also a betakey section in the .acf that will show the arg you used.
