This tool is GREAT!!! It's the third different one that I tried to get away from Nitrado and host my own server and I think it's the best of the three. You have more configurable options and control over your server and it's settings.

PLUS after I managed to get it running, I was having some trouble with mods not loading. @JustSomeBritishGuy was very gracious and generous with his time to help me get it worked out!!!

For some reason, I can't give star ratings at the top, but if I could, I would give 5 STARS!

[JustSomeBritishGuy]

Yes this can be used to host cross-play servers.

[Major585]

Will this allow you to host a server with cross-play?

Server Imports Added with latest ASAM Update v1.2.2.39
Will update this wiki when I am able

[Borderich]

How do we import a server? I am not seeing an import button in the current version. Thank You for making this. I really appreciate it.

[[LOKE]YourC3PH]

Cool I guess, but I wonder if it can compare to and compete with Beacon really.

[TRICONNTV]

Great guide, helped me a lot. Any issues just let the dev know he makes changes super quick.
