Configuring your Unturned Server (commands.dat)
Configuring Your Unturned Server
To configure your Unturned server, you will need to edit the commands.dat file. This can generally be found in your Servers/<instance name>/Server folder.
Each command in this file will need to be on a new line. They are case sensitive!
| Command | Arguments | Description |
|---|---|---|
