This guide covers the basics of how to configure a server to run UMMs. It will be updated to reflect any changes to the process in the future.

The process for adding a UMM to the server has been streamlined.

First, you'll need the map's Steam Workshop "Item ID". The easiest way to get this is to find the map in the workshop. The ID is in the URL.


The ID for 2Forts is 572120225

Now that we've acquired the ID, we can tell the server to use the map.

Under AAPG\AAGame\Config\ there is now an AASteamUGCManager.ini file.

(*)If you're running a server on your own machine using the "Host a Server" tool, copy the ini file from one of the AAHostAServerConfig subdirectories into the parent Config directory. If you're running a server on your own machine from the command line, "AA" ini files will be located under Documents\My Games\America's Army Proving Grounds\AAGame\Config.

(If the file doesn't exist, run the game once to generate it.)



Open it and in the [SteamUGCManager.SteamUGCManager] section, add this line for each UMM you want the server to use:

Like this:



Gameserver Version:


Copy the .umap file and place it in the folder shown below



If you are using Gameservers as your server provider, you will need to run the Steam Fix Mod each time you add a map to your server.

Once the map is on the server, you may optionally add it to the Map Rotation and Map Vote lists.

In AAPG\AAGame\Config\AAGame.ini, find the section where the MapRotationList and MapVoteList are defined, and add new entries to either list. Be sure to use the full filename of the maps you're adding.

That's it! You no longer need to worry about uploading files or opening extra ports.

When clients attempt to join your server, they'll get a popup asking them to subscribe to any UMMs on the server that they haven't downloaded. Once their download finishes, they'll join your server!
