K your gonna load your ftp then go to unturned_data then click managed then click mods if it aint installed you'll need to install mod loader there

First things first, guys. Are you downloading the mod from the Workshop? In that case, what I suggest you to do is:

Look for workshop folder under Steam\SteamApps. Go inside "content" and there, you will find a folder named "304930", which is the Unturned's ID. I m pretty sure inside of that folder you will find the mod files.

Once you do that, you will have to guess where to copy the mod files in your main game folder (Steam\SteamApps\common\Unturned...). By this I mean that some mods that add vehicles for example, their files need to be copied at (\Unturned\Bundles\Vehicles). It makes sense, doesn't it? :)

Hope that works for you, PacketPotatoe. Have a great day

Thanks for the reply! what about the object.meta file? what do I do with that?

[brovakiin101]

copy and paste it all. so if it is a gun pack, move all the guns + the meta file.
and if you dont know what your mod would be under check the meta file.
it will say object, item ect ect. Hoped this helped!
btw im replying at 4 am right now.

Just in case you haven't figured this out yet, I too had issues with custom items in my server. There are two main way to add/mod items. First is modding the data already in the game. Change the range or recoil on a weapon, stuff like that. Those changes are just made in the game files with a notepad program. The other is creating your own, or cloning items. As it turns out, in order to add items to a single player game say a super dope Mummy costume I made for Halloween. You simply create/download it, and then add it to the appropriate items folder. In order for it to show up on a server thought, you also need to copy the entire folder for that item to the Servers/[server name]/Workshop/Content folder too. After you have done so your item should work just perfectly. Just make sure your downloads are complete files. A lot of posts are incomplete and lack inventory icons, and other data that can cause issues. Hope it helps.

Boo's Wings, might I ask if they actually spawn in automaticly if there's weapons/cars/items in the pack?
