How to Change Unturned Map

Comment from YouTube: I did everything in the video, and it works great, but when I set the map to Elver in the notepad, it still puts me on PEI. Any idea on how to fix that?

Answer: Let's try to install Elver on our Unturned server.

The Commands.dat file is located at: Steam\steamapps\common\U3DS\Servers\{ServerName}\Server\Commands.dat

First, go to your Commands.dat file and type:

  map Elver

If you try to launch your server after this, the console will say: Failed to find map Elver, defaulting to PEI!

To fix this problem, you have to insert an ID of the map inside WorkshopDownloadConfig.json file.

The WorkshopDownloadConfig.json file is located at: Steam\steamapps\common\U3DS\Servers\{ServerName}\WorkshopDownloadConfig.json

To find an ID of the chosen map, simply type in a browser: Elver Unturned Steam

You have to go to the official steam page of the map and copy an ID from there.

Once you've copied the ID of the map, you have to paste the value inside brackets.

  "File_IDs": [
  2136497468
  ],
  

Save the file and launch the server.

It worked for me, but I know that in some cases, Unturned doesn't load the map after downloading this. Here are some suggestions: You can reinstall your server by deleting all server's folders and try this procedure again. Another way: you can subscribe to the map on Steam and move the map folder into the server's maps folder.

Find the necessary map in Steam Workshop and subscribe to the map.

Go to properties of Unturned and browse files. Then go to:

You will see a list of IDs of mods that you subscribed to. Find the ID with the necessary map and drag this folder to your server's maps.

After this process, it should work.

How to Install a Mod for Your Unturned Server

It's pretty simple. Go to the WorkshopDownloadConfig.json file and paste the ID of the necessary mod.

The WorkshopDownloadConfig.json file is located at: Steam\steamapps\common\U3DS\Servers\{ServerName}\WorkshopDownloadConfig.json

  "File_IDs": [
  2136497468,
  2136497469
  ],

You can install multiple mods by using commas.

How to Set Up a Login Token for Your Unturned Server

Comment from YouTube: When I want to join the server, it tells me that "This server cannot be joined over the internet because it is not logged in with a Game Server Login Token."

1. To allow other players to connect to your server, you need a login token. Visit the Steam Game Server Account Management page.
2. Log in to your Steam account, ensuring it meets specific requirements, including not being community banned and having no limitations.
3. Locate the App ID of the base game field and insert the Unturned ID: 304930. Click 'Create' to generate a login token.
4. Copy the generated token and open the config.json file located at

   Steam\steamapps\common\U3DS\Servers\{ServerName}\Config.json

5. In the config.json file, find the 'Login_Token' field and paste your token, making it look like this:

  
    "Login_Token": "68B214CF96F30B6FF23A9F2CDF6637C4"
  

Well done! Your server is now secured with a login token.
