Basic Server Settings

How do I become an admin on my server?

As an admin you have more extensive possibilities on your server. For example, you can enter certain commands (e.g. kicking players) directly via the ingame console.

Follow these steps to become a server admin on your server:

  • Log in on our website with your account
  • Click on “My servers” on the left
  • Now select “Basic settings”
  • In the middle of the screen you will see “Settings” and a little bit further down the item “Admin password”
  • Enter the desired admin password and click on “Save” in the upper right corner.

Now start the game normally. Open the in-game console during the game. Then type the following command there:

/AdminLogin password123456789

-> password123456789 should be replaced by the admin password you have previously set on our web interface.

Advanced server settings

How do I upload a save game to my Icarus server?

As usual, you can easily upload a savegame to your server via an FTP connection. For said FTP connection, we recommend using Filezilla.

Proceed as follows:

  • First stop your server via the webinterface
    -> If you now click on “Status” on the left side, you will see your FTP login data
  • Now connect to the FTP server and enter your login data
  • Add your savegames to the server under the following path (right side):
    ConfigID/Saved/PlayerData/DedicatedServer/Prospects
    Note: The ConfigID is a unique number.
  • After you have inserted the save game, start your server.

How do I upload mods to my Icarus server?

Like many other survival games, Icarus also supports mods and of course you can also use them on your GPORTAL server. The procedure is quite simple. Depending on what these mods do, it may be necessary to install the mods not only on the server but also on your PC.

Mod installation on your Icarus server

First of all, you can download mods from NexusMods or Project Daedalus, for example.

  • Now stop your server first before you carry out any further steps
  • Then go to your Icarus server in the GPORTAL web interface and select the “File manager” on the left-hand side
  • Follow the following path:
    Home/Icarus/Content/Paks/mods
  • If you do not have the “mods” folder, you can simply create a new one in the Paks folder
  • Now upload the desired mods to the mods folder
    Note: You must unzip the files first (if they are still in .zip format)
  • Once the upload is complete, start your server

Mod installation on your PC

As mentioned above, it may be necessary to install a mod locally on your PC. To do this, proceed as follows.

  • First download the desired mod from one of the known mod sources (see beginning mod installation)
  • Now search for the following path in the installation directory of Icarus on your PC:
    Icarus/Content/Paks
  • Now open the subfolder “mods” or create it if it does not yet exist
  • Now copy the mod packages into this “mods” folder (you must unzip them if they are still in .zip format)

Have fun!
