How can I change my ARK server map?
In order to change your ARK server map, you will need to first log into the control panel located at https://cp.chicagoservers.co
Once there, you can select a premade commandline that will only change the map.
Or, you can create a custom commandline with additional parameters as pictured below. Select each checkbox for each field you want to become a part of the commandline.
Below is a list of common map names and the commandline name that must be specified (right side) for custom commandlines.
| Map | Name for dedicated servers |
|---|---|
| The Island | TheIsland |
| The Center | TheCenter |
| Scorched Earth | ScorchedEarth_P |
| Ragnarok | Ragnarok |
| Aberration | Aberration_P |
| Extinction | Extinction |
| Valguero | Valguero_P |
| Genesis: Part 1 | Genesis |
| Crystal Isles | CrystalIsles |
| Genesis: Part 2 | Gen2 |
| Lost Island | LostIsland |
| Fjordur | Fjordur |
** You MUST check the box to the left of each item to add that parameter to the actual commandline, especially the map or the server will not boot!
Save the commandline then Select it once you are returned to the list of commandlines which will activate it. Your server will be restarted.
If the server fails to boot, double check that you checked the map box and that the map is properly typed.
Click save. Select that command line and your server will restart with your new parameters.
