  How do I add maps to my server?

Uploading maps to your UT3 server is a little different than adding maps to a UT2004 server:

  • Place your .ini files into:
    UTGame/Published/CookedPC/Config
  • Place your .ut3 and .upk files into: UTGame/Published/CookedPC/CustomMaps

If these folders aren't already in your UTGame folder you need to create them.
After uploading the maps your server will need to be rebooted:

1) Bring up your web browser and logon to your webadmin for your server.
2) From the "Management Consol" tab type "quit" and then hit execute.

Your maps are now uploaded.

ini  How do I edit my .ini file?

Making changes to your UTGame.ini file.

Your UTGame.ini file is located in UTGame/Config folder.
Editing your UTGame.ini is basically the same as editing a UT2004.ini:

1) Log onto your server via FTP.

2) Copy your UTGame.ini file to your local machine and make whatever changes you need. Be sure to save the ini file and refresh your FTP program.

3) Go back to your FTP and delete the UTGame.ini file from your servers UTGame/Config folder.

4) Immediately copy the edited UTGame.ini file from your local machine back to your servers UTGame/Config folder.

3) Bring up your web browser and logon to your webadmin for your server.

4) From the "Management Consol" tab type "quit"

5) Your server will then reboot and your edited .ini file will load with your new settings.


NOTE ::: Your command line can be edited in the same way. It is located in your servers Binaries folder. It is the RunServer.bat file.

CAUTION!! Be sure and DO NOT change your -login=<login> or -password=<password> settings in your RunServer.bat file or your server will quit appearing in the browser. These are your unique GameSpy logins and passwords.


That's all there is to it!
