Users need direct access to the ARK mods directory at /home/ips-hosting/Mods rather than having to navigate to ShooterGame/Content/Mods.

Changes

Updated symlink creation in ark/entrypoint.sh:

# Before: symlink inside game directory pointing out
ln -svf ../../Mods /home/ips-hosting/ShooterGame/Content/Mods

# After: symlink at root pointing into game directory
ln -svf ShooterGame/Content/Mods /home/ips-hosting/Mods

This creates /home/ips-hosting/ModsShooterGame/Content/Mods using a relative path, allowing users to access mods at the expected location while the game reads from the canonical path.

Original prompt

I expect the ark entrypoint to symlink /home/ips-hosting/Mods to ShooterGame/Content/Mods, but it seems to select /home/ips-hosting/Mods/Mods. Please verify and fix the issue.

ALways use relative symlinks

[20:20:08] '/home/ips-hosting/Mods/Mods' -> 'ShooterGame/Content/Mods'

@copilot I need a symlink at /home/ips-hosting/Mods pointing to /home/ips-hosting/ShooteGame/Content/Mods using relative paths.
