Nuclear Option

Prepare custom missions for a Nuclear Option server

The template sets MissionDirectory to /home/container/NuclearOption-Missions. Put server-ready mission content in that location following the mission author’s packaging instructions.

File locations used below — relative to the server root
DedicatedServerConfig.json

Make the change

  1. Stop the server and back up DedicatedServerConfig.json and the existing mission directory.
  2. Confirm the custom mission supports the current Nuclear Option server release.
  3. Upload the complete mission package into NuclearOption-Missions without adding an unnecessary outer wrapper folder.
  4. Review Modded Server in Startup if the content requires a modded session.
  5. Start, inspect mission-loading messages and test the mission with one compatible client.

Check the result

If a mission is missing, compare the package layout and selected mission with the files present. A downloadable archive’s title is not necessarily the mission identifier the game expects.
