Don't think you can use these in the SP mode of the game. When the Blackwood map arrives that option will probably become available.... although someone may have figured out how. I've seen several posts on Steam and the official forums regarding the same issue with other custom maps.

If you didn't figure this out, you need to change the setting in the SS CP under Modify Server Config for "Claim Home Server XP". Then it will allow you to level beyond 8. You can also change another setting there that will allow you to set the skill level without having any discoveries.

Probably in one of the in files. Should be a toggle on the SS cp for bosses...maybe. I couldn't get this map to work, but Tallons Atlas the Explorer map does have working discoveries for islands. Correction: Thought Tallon's AtE map discoveries were working. Then I notice I have no discoveries, and using the spyglass shows bubbles around islands, even the one you are on. So they don't work. Didn't see any other bubbles either. Then again I just discovered how to use the spyglass. Amazing game.....but the use of things is so illogical/arcadish that it makes it difficult to figure stuff out when nothing works on face value as it should in real life.

Dead link now. Would like to know myself. Just got a server a few days ago and can't use it without being able to upload custom maps. Ftp doesn't work, nor does the servers control panel uploading. Think I got it figured out.....finally. But now my server isn't listed.... Might be the migration. The lack of changing the server info in the ServerGrid.json file is probably my issue. When Tallon said all you had to do was drag them over to your server through FTP...... figured that was it. Looking at the first few lines in the .json file show server info, but it appeared to be generic. Had seen a few other posts mentioning needing to change the server info, but they were several months old. Thinking the generic lines might part of the dynamic setup... you don't need to add that info now. But you do.

Been trying for a few days to get this 1x1 map to work. Tried uploading through FTP using Window File Explorer. Got the files in there. Followed Tallons directions from the SS Control Panel. Checked boxes on clean steamCMD/mod/saves, and reset template. It always reverts back to the default SS 1x1 map after clicking "save and restart". Then tried uploading the files through the SS Control Panel's "grid customization/advanced" section using the selection buttons. Selected the obvious choice for the "servergrid.json" file, but you can only choose 1 file for the map when there are 2 in the folder......? I selected the MapImp.jpg for that one, but after clicking "save/restart" my server still reverted back to the default 1x1 map. What am I missing? Tried just clicking "stop" then "restart" after directly uploading through the FTP, but that didn't seem to work either. Something keeps reverting it back to the default. At some point after clicking "save/restart" in the SS CP I can click on the "server.json" button to view it and it is the correct one, but once it finally goes "ready" it's back to the default map. Then suddenly I wondered if I had clicked the (?) next to the Map Tiles Browse button. Got to zip that..... got it. See if it works now....keeping fingers crossed. Still the same...reverts to the default map. Weird part is....after zipping up the 2 map files thinking this may have been the issue.. when the server started without issue I loaded into the actual Freeport next to the dock for the first time. Which made me think....great it worked! A few things seemed different. When I chopped on the small palms I got wood instead of strongwood.... still thinking it worked. Looked at the map..... that doesn't look right. Didn't work. Still default map..... What are the servers good for if you can't load up a custom map? I know it's got to be me doing something wrong....but what? Found my issue... But I think this Ultimate map needs an update. I couldn't get it to work. Atlas The Explorer did work. Missing? Before you drag and drop the files... edit the server info in the servergrid.json file. Open the original default from the FTP, copy that info from the appropriate lines, and it works. For some reason I was thinking that info would have been dynamically put in.... not sure why it couldn't be. Good job on the maps Tallon.
