How to setup a custom launch parameter on your ARK server

To setup a custom launch parameter on your server follow the simple steps below and you will be up and running in no time at all.

  1. Head to your control panel and set the map drop down to "Custom".
    1. This will add a new area to the panel for you to add your custom launch parameter.
  2. Click the (i) info button next to the launch parameter box to get your parameter line for the desired map.
  3. Add the parameter line to the custom box and hit the update/restart button at the bottom.
  4. Your server is now running a custom launch parameter.

Running a custom map with your custom launch parameter

  1. Head to the Steam workshop area for ARK and locate the map you wish to use.
    1. Steam Workshop
  2. Once you find the map you will want to grab the MAP ID which is located at the end of the url. For an example, lets use Crystal Isles.
    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails?id=804312798
  3. The ID would be 804312798
  4. Head to your ARK control panel and look for the MAP ID box

  5. Place the map ID into that box and now move to the parameter line area
  6. Grab a parameter line from the (i) info icon on the left side of the launch parameter box and past it into the launch parameter area
    Parameter line should look similar to this. Please note that this is only an example and your IP and Port # will differ.

    TheIsland?Multihome=216.244.93.103?Port=20015?QueryPort=20016?SessionName=TestServer's Wiped daily | SurvivalServers.com?MaxPlayers=10?listen?ServerPassword=?ServerAdminPassword=changeme?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=20017?AltSaveDirectoryName=SavedArk30317

  7. You will want to add ?ModMapID=804312798 to the end of the parameter line
  8. From there change the map at the front of the parameter line to the new map which is CrystalIsles. It should look like this when done:

    CrystalIsles?Multihome=216.244.93.103?Port=20015?QueryPort=20016?SessionName=TestServer's Wiped daily | SurvivalServers.com?MaxPlayers=10?listen?ServerPassword=?ServerAdminPassword=changeme?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=20017?AltSaveDirectoryName=SavedArk30317?ModMapID=804312798
    • Note the correct map name will be listed on the steam workshop page. Along with the map id.

  9. Once you have that fixed up simply hit the update/restart button at the bottom of the panel and let the server boot up fully.
