| | + | **Installing Workshop Maps:** |
| | + | |
| | + | |
| | + | Installing Steam Workshop maps for ARK: Survival Evolved is as follows: |
| | + | |
| | + | Go to the Workshop Gui, it looks like this in the game panel: |
| | + | |
| | + | [[File:Steam.png|120px]] |
| | + | |
| | + | Search for and install the map you want to use. |
| | + | |
| | + | Go to GameUserSettings.ini in the Configuration Files menu, it looks like this in the game panel: |
| | + | |
| | + | [[File:Do1.png|120px]] |
| | + | |
| | + | Once in the file, you need to search for a line that starts with **ActiveMods=** |
| | + | |
| | + | Then make sure there's the mod ID of the mod in that line. |
| | + | |
| | + | ''Example:'' |
| | + | |
| | + | ActiveMods=1814953878 |
| | + | |
| | + | If there are multiple mods, they need to be separated by a comma. |
| | + | |
| | + | ''Example:'' |
| | + | |
| | + | ActiveMods=1814953878,1734595558 |
| | + | |
| | + | After that, go to the Commandline Manager, it looks like this in the game panel: |
| | + | |
| | + | [[File:CmdLine.png|120px]] |
| | + | |
| | + | Once in the commandline manager, select ARK With Mods and select the map from the drop down. |
| | + | |
| | + | If you use the Ark With Mods, And Custom Map commandline, you'll need to manually set the map, it gives information on it in the tooltip if you hover over it. |
| | + | |
| | + | Once that's done, save your changes and restart the server. |
