Welcome to Atlas Server bootcamp. You'll be bloody and exhausted when you get it working I JUST got mine up and running smoothly after 3 weeks of work. If I understand right, you're having 2 issues? 1st where the treasure map bottles give you nothing, and the other where you have issues with the in-game map? (Did you fix it or still have issues? I can't tell from your post) The treasure map bottle may be a bug in the game. On our server, about 1 out of 3 bottles give us nothing... is it every bottle? As for the in-game map, make sure you're putting the image files in the right folder. You have to create a folder called "ServerGrid" manually. (I don't know why. There's so many things about setting up a server for this game that doesn't make much sense.) So they go in: <YourAtlasServerDirectory>/Shootergame/ServerGrid" (Remember, you'll need to create that folder, if you havent already.) The next thing I would suggest is download 2 tools that will make things much easier for you: 1st go here and download the Atlas Server Update Manager ("ASUU"). It makes things much easier. I wish I had found it before working on my server for 2 weeks. It's a program that helps you manage your server settings without having to deal with all the different files and code. You'll also need to get the Atlas Grid Editor (AGE), which is the official tool by Grapeshot games for making and setting up your world map. It even comes with a few pre-made maps that you can play or edit to make your own. The instructions for this are a bit involved, so I'll just give you some wiki links: https://www.survivalservers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Atlas_Server_Grid_Editor and https://atlas.gamepedia.com/Server_setup - If you have any questions, just reply here to me. (AGE has a function in it that allows you to export your map image files to the directory automatically.) NOTE: THe official release of the AGE has some defuct (Broken) islands in it and is missing some new islands. Download an updated version of it's Islands.json file here, and place it in the /Data/ folder inside the program's directory. This will update the island assets in the editor to include the new ones and get rid of the broken ones. (It will also update the AGE to have 2 new error messages upon launch! Ignore them it just means 2 of the island thumbnails are broken in the program.) If you and your friends are not too far invested in your world, I would delete everything and use these tools to start fresh. It's the only way I could get it working, and there's great helpful discord servers. The ASUU program does have a wizard that allows you to specify your existing server's directory and import it's info, but I found it just imports bad setups and doesn't work, so I ended up starting from scratch. Some imPORTant tips: NEVER use 27000's ports for anything on your server, even though many many setup guides will tell you to use it for your seamless ports. Use 28000's instead. The problem is that Steam itself uses ports in the 27000's range and you cant change that. Make sure each square in your grid/cluster has a port number that is at least 2 apart from the last. For example, each grid square should have 28000, 28002, 28004 etc. After an incredible amount of frustration and troubleshooting, and help from great people on Discord, I use the following Port setup for my 4x4 server: Query Ports: 55511-55541 (Skipping 2 each grid) Game Ports: 5511-5541 Seamless: 28011-28041 RCON: 32011-32041 Server IP should always be the same in every grid, your public IP. RCON IP should be: 127.0.0.1 (Nothing else will work right) If you're on Discord, there are two excellent Discord servers where you can get help: General Atlas Server Owner Help: https://discord.gg/KQ2xxec9 Atlas Server Update Utility Help: https://discord.gg/Vp4bmzb4 People at both servers helped me a lot in getting my server fixed up. I know this is a lot of information. Just reply here if you have any questions.
