Unturned Loadout Command

Give players each item when spawning. Using SkillsetID of 255 gives the item set to everyone. Can only be used in the server console or the servers commands.dat file.

The syntax:

/loadout [Skillset ID] [Item IDs]

Argument information and help:

• Skillset ID - The skillset ID of the skillset you wish to set the loadout for - use 255 to set the loadout for all players/skillsets

The following loadouts can be use to replicate the default single-player ones.

A good loadout for beginner players in Normal difficulty game maps.

Managing admins and bans

To grant admin to player that is actively connected:

type "/admin playername" or "/admin 64id" for the desired person who you want to give admin.

To ban a player that is actively connected:

type "/ban playername" or "/ban 64id"

When players are offline:

To ban or admin:

xxxx

To unban or remove admin:

If you want to purge the entire ADMIN or BAN list while said users are offline, use the following process, follow steps in order.

1. Stop the Unturned Server (make sure server process terminates completely from memory)
2. navigate to the directory /Servers/Unturned/Server
3. delete Blacklist.dat if you wish to unban everyone. delete Adminlist.dat to remove all server admins.
4. Start the Unturned Server.

The server process reads from the dat files initially on load, then caches in memory. All modifications using the ban or admin command take place in memory space. Once the server owner terminates the server the server dumps from the memory back to the dat files. So, deleting the dat files while process is active has no impact as server simply dumps what it knows about who is banned or admin back to the files on shutdown.

Online Server for Unturned

You can use your existing LAN server (assuming that you set one up using the guide you found here) to operate an online game server for others on the Internet to connect to and use. For those of you with a great Internet connection and a static IP address or your own subnet, you will have it made. However, the average Internet user as an asymmetrically proportioned residential broadband connection with dynamic IP addressing. This does not make the hosting of an online game server impossible, it just is far from ideal and depending on your Internet provider anywhere from somewhat more difficult to impossible. You will likely have to understand how to set up a port forward in your CPE (firewall/router) and dedicate a port for your server.

When sharing your at home Unturend game server to the Internet community is not working out you can consider the option of purchasing a rental game server from one of the commercial providers available online. Typical monthly fees range from $12/mo on up to $40/mo for the vast selection of purpose built providers.

In order to assist you in your search for a good Unturned Game Server Host there is our Unturned: Dedicated Hosting Providers page. Information listed is based on individual experiences and opinion. I would consider it the most unbiased and useful guide available for reviews of Unturned Game Hosting Providers as of late 2021. In your search try to find a host that uses Linux rather than Microsoft as a Linux server will more efficiently manage available memory and should offer you a better price since the provider is not wasting money on expensive Windows licensing fees. An Unturned server runs quite nicely on Linux and well perform much better on equivalent hardware.

Server is running an older version

When you attempt to connect to your server with the game client you might see the following error if there is a client server version mismatch:

Server is running an older version: 3.21.xx.x

With this example the game (on your computer) is running a later version than does the server. This may happen when the client has performed an automatic update when launched from Steam while the server has not yet been updated.
