How to use the SCUM custom map option?

The map in SCUM is very large. Some communities (e.g. with fewer players) would like to make the map smaller, because it takes very long to get from one border to the other one.
This is easily possible with the advanced settings. Here is an explanation of the individual settings:

CustomMapCenterX and CustomMapCenterY places the center of the map on any coordinates. CustomMapWidth sets the width of the Map and CustomMapHeight sets the height. So you can customize the map according to your wishes.

  • Use the customized map, by simply activating the “CustomMapActive” option.
  • Now set the desired center point (if you don’t want to change this, leave the setting on 0/0)
  • To make the map smaller, change the height and width to a smaller value (standard: 12.2 km²)

Basic questions / FAQs

How do I connect to a SCUM server?

Connect via IP & port in the game

  1. Navigate to the “Server” tab in the game
  2. Click on the “Direct Connect” button
  3. Enter IP and port
  4. Click on “Connect“

Connect via server name in the game

  1. Navigate to the “Server” tab in the game
  2. Enter the name of the server in the search field
  3. The server search runs in the background
  4. Once the server is found, click on the “Connect” button

What is an Exclusive Join, ReservedID or Banned List?

You can add players to an Exclusive Join list. ONLY these players can join the SCUM server. No one else. 

If a player is on the Reserved Slots list and tries to join the full server, another random player (of course no Admins) is automatically kicked. So your regulars can always join you. You CAN’T choose which players will be kicked so your regular players can join!

Unwanted, trolling, or abusive players can be permanently banned from your server. They will never be able to access your server again with their Steam account unless you undo this. A banned list is a great way to maintain a friendly atmosphere on your server.

How do I put players on Exclusive Join or Reserved Slots? How do I ban a player?

You only need to enter the player’s STEAM64 ID in the appropriate box in the basic settings. You can find these in the basic settings on the right. If you want to give multiple players a regular place, just enter all the IDs together under each other.

Of course, you can also ban a player directly on the server. Use your Admin rights to do this.
