Custom Game Mode
In Custom Game Mode you can run mods/modules and from now on you can load several mods/modules together. To add a module go to Startup and edit the variable Custom Game Mode and use this launch command:
_MODULES_*Native*Multiplayer*YOUR_MODULE_NAME_1*YOUR_MODULE_NAME_2*_MODULES_
Now upload the file you want to have to the server via FTP-Client and add the desired file in Files/Modules.
Finally take the launch command and remove YOUR_MODULE_NAME_1*YOUR_MODULE_NAME_2 and replace these two fonts with the Mod/Module name that was uploaded to the server. If only one mod was uploaded remove YOUR_MODULE_NAME_2
launch command example:
_MODULES_*Native*Multiplayer*DedicatedCustomServerHelper*_MODULES_
Attention: These characters have to stay in the launch command because they are placeholders *
