Installing Mods on Wake Servers BeamMP Server

Adding mods to your BeamMP server hosted on Wake Servers is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure your mods are installed correctly and available for your players.

Step 1: Prepare Your Mod Files

  1. Download the mod you want to install from a trusted source (e.g., BeamNG Repository).
  2. Ensure the mod is in .zip format and is compatible with the BeamMP server.

Tip: Avoid renaming the mod files, as it may cause issues with loading them properly.

Step 2: Upload Your Mod to the Server

  1. Log in to your Wake Servers game panel.
  2. Navigate to your BeamMP server instance.
  3. Locate the File Manager section in the server dashboard.
  4. Upload the .zip file to the following directory: /resources/mods/

    Note: If the mods folder doesn’t exist, create it manually.

Step 3: Activate the Mod

  1. Open the server's configuration file (server-config.json) using the File Editor in the game panel.

  2. Add the mod file name under the mods section: json "mods": [ "modname.zip" ] Replace modname.zip with the exact name of the mod file.

  3. Save the changes and restart your server.

Step 4: Test the Mod

  2. Verify the mod is working by checking if:
  3. New vehicles, maps, or features from the mod are available in-game.

Troubleshooting: If the mod doesn’t load, double-check the file name and ensure it’s uploaded to the correct directory.

Step 5: Share Mods with Players

  2. Encourage players to place the mod file in their local BeamNG directory: Documents/BeamNG.drive/mods/
