Dedicated server map
Hello, my friend and i are trying to figure out how to set the map for a dedicated server we are running from out pc. We cant find anything in the game.ini or gameusersetting.ini file to change the map.

sadly the dedicated server doesn't give the option. what i did was create a new text file in the installation folder (were the ArkAscendedServer.exe is) in the text file i wrotte:

start ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?SessionName=*****?listen -NoBattlEye -servergamelog -mods=******

change the ***** for name and mods u use, once you got all that, rename the text file to
start_server.bat. Windows will warn you that you are changing the filetype but thats ok.

you can change the name just make sure its .bat.
it will take every other settings from your normal ini files.
you can launch SE by double clicking that bat file (or making a shortcut to your desktop.

if u wanna run both island and SE at the same time, u can make another file with TheIsland_WP instead of ScorchedEarth_WP and add

-clusterid=*****

in both files to transfer seamlessly between both at the obelisk.
beware however it can ask another 6 GB or RAM per active map, plus all your mods ofc so make sure you got plenty free, or trim the mods you don't absolutely need.

Thank you so much, it worked for me!!!! I'm assuming that when you update the server in steam, it automatically updates everything even with the new .bat file?
