How do I change the map of my player dedicated server?

[Poglonian]

I run my own player dedicated server through steam on my own computer, without nitrado, and I want to start playing scorched earth as well but I don't know where exactly to change the setting, and if its in the .ini files, what is the exact line of code that represents each map for future reference as well?

So I think I figured out the map id is ScorchedEarth_WP but i still don't know where to replace TheIsland_WP with it. (assuming that's all it takes)

First question would be, you have a second server installed? Each map needs a own server. Or you wanna override the TheIsland save?

how are you launching the dediicated server? Are you using a bat file or a manager that will prob run it as an API
If a bat file .. edit it and change where it says ScorcheEarth_WP ? to TheIsland_WP? If you run server via a manager then look for these text in the settings

Thanks for the comments! I do not have a second server installed. I use the steam tool Ark "Survival Ascended Dedicated Server" which, as far as I know, I can only download once.
I'd rather not overwrite any other servers :/

So I downloaded the program again on my laptop just to refresh my memory of how it works and it has two options available on launch:
-Play ARK: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server
-Launch (Map: TheIsland, With BattlEye Anticheat)
maybe it needs to have an option for scorched earth and its not available yet?

Yep, only once. You have to work with Steam CMD. It's not that hard. After that backup your current save from the steam tool server. And delete the server. Except you have plenty storage.
If you don't care about traveling with your existing character you could also backup the save and start a new save on the map. But I am not sure if you can change the map with the Steam tool command thingy.

Regarding map names. We don't know. But I guess they are/will be the same like in ASE. Maybe you find something in the wiki or topics regarding ASE map names

That could be the case, yes. Do you have ASE? You could check if there are several tools for the different maps. I can check it tomorrow but I am pretty sure ASE also has only one tool. So yeah, SteamCMD is the way

I don't have ASE for pc unfortunately. Ill try using steam cmd though. I've already figured out a bunch of stuff I've never done before so far, may as well do a little more haha. Thanks for all your help!

I checked the tools for ASE. It is also only one and it the start options are TheIsland, TheIsland with Primitive+ and TheCenter.
So you have to learn to use SteamCMD. At the beginning it can be quite hard, but after that its easy. Creating other servers (other maps) is just repeating the steps and change some things like TheIsland_WP to ScorchedEarth_WP in the start.bat for example.
EDIT: There are also Server Manager programs. But I don't know the program names and I also don't know how great they work
