How do I add more admins?

In the [Administration] section of TowerServer.ini, add a separate AdminSteamID line with each admin’s SteamID, then restart the server.

How do I ban players?

Ban players in-game from the player list, or add them to TowerBans.ini under [Bans] in the format SteamID=[SteamID],0.

Are my builds saved automatically?

Yes, if CondoAutoSave is set to True. Setting CondoBackupsEnabled=True also creates a backup each time your Condo is saved.

Introduction

With the right configuration, you can turn your Tower Unite game server into exactly the Dedicated Condo you have in mind: with your own title, player limit, admins, map, and custom Condo complete with everything you’ve built. In this guide, we’ll show you how the configuration file is structured and how to add your Condo to the server.

The TowerServer.ini configuration file

All your server’s important settings are in the TowerServer.ini file. It’s located in the Tower/Saved/Config/ folder, inside the subfolder for your server’s operating system (LinuxServer or WindowsServer). If the file doesn’t exist yet, create it there.

Here’s what a complete configuration looks like:

Code

[/Script/TowerNetworking.DedicatedServerOptions]
ServerTitle="Mein Dedicated Condo"
MaxPlayers=32
SteamLoginToken=DeinSteamLoginToken
TowerLoginToken=DeinTowerLoginToken

[Administration]
AdminSteamID=76561198000000000

[DedicatedCondoOptions]
CondoAutoSave=True
CondoBackupsEnabled=True
#CondoFile=

After making a change, restart your server for it to take effect.

Important settings

Setting	Meaning
ServerTitle	Your Condo’s title in the Condo server list
MaxPlayers	Maximum number of players, from 2 to 64 (default: 32)
SteamLoginToken	Steam Login Token for App ID 394690; required
TowerLoginToken	Tower Login Token from PixelTail Games; required
AdminSteamID	An admin’s SteamID; add one line per admin
CondoAutoSave	Automatically saves your Condo regularly after changes
CondoBackupsEnabled	Also creates a backup of your Condo each time it’s saved
CondoFile	Optional: loads another `.map` file from the map’s folder. To enable it, remove the `#` at the beginning of the line

For instructions on creating both login tokens, see our guide Create login tokens.

Important

We recommend leaving CondoAutoSave and CondoBackupsEnabled set to True. This helps prevent you from losing much building progress if the server crashes or restarts.

Upload your own Condo

Have you already built a Condo in the game and want to continue building on your server? Here’s how:

In your Condo in-game, open the player list (scoreboard) and select Saves > Export Condo. The game saves your Condo as a .map file.
Upload the file to the folder for the corresponding map on your server: Tower/Condos/<Maps folder>/<Map name>.map, for example, Tower/Condos/C_Condo/C_Condo.map.
Restart your server.

Warning

The folder name and file name must exactly match the loaded map. Otherwise, your server won’t be able to load the Condo and will report FAILED TO LOAD CONDO DATA. To load a file with a different name from the map folder, specify it using CondoFile.

Available maps

These Condo maps are supported for Dedicated Condos:

Map	Map name
Condo	`C_Condo`
House	`C_House`
Smooth Dirt	`C_SmoothDirt`
Suite	`C_lobbyOne`
Resort	`C_Lobby1`
Smooth Autumn	`C_SmoothAutumn`
Underwater	`C_Underwater`
Highrise	`C_Highrise`
Art Studio	`C_Studio`
Theatre	`C_Theatre`
Courtyard	`C_Courtyard`
Ice Moon	`C_IcePlanet`

Permissions, moderators, and bans

Admins listed in TowerServer.ini have full access: they can kick and ban players, edit save data, and change the title.
Additional permissions can be assigned in-game from the player list under Settings > Player Permissions. The Moderator Tag permission displays a moderator badge for players with moderator permissions.
Bans can be applied in-game from the player list or added to the TowerBans.ini file in the same folder as TowerServer.ini:

Code

[Bans]
SteamID=76561198000000000,0

Chat logs and actions on your server are recorded in the Tower/TowerServer_Chat.txt file.

Info

Workshop collisions aren’t supported in Dedicated Condos. Instead, place blocking volumes around your Workshop items to prevent players from walking through them.

Conclusion

Your Dedicated Condo is now set up just the way you want it. If something isn’t working as expected, see our guide to Common issues. If you have any other questions, our support team is available every day! 🙂
