Finding Your Server IP

Once logged in, You'll be able to see your server details on the dashboard, This is also how you start the server.



### Hosting The Map
The map you use needs to be able to be directly accessed via URL. For this you can use free hosting websites like dropbox. We highly recommend using dropbox for hosting as that is where you should face the least issues with the map being accessible, this is also the easiest platform for us to troubleshoot any issues you may face.

If using dropbox and the URL provided ends in dl=0 please change that to dl=1 so that the map is able to download automatically.

Please make sure the map you are using is updated to the latest version of rust or it will NOT work

If you are facing issues with the map crashing upon trying to load try changing www. to dl. in the dropbox link.

Changing The Map

Make sure your server is OFF before starting this process

Go to the 'Startup' Tab




Scroll down until you see 'Custom Map Url'




Paste your link in there and start the server

Your map should now be loaded.
