Open "ServerConfig.toml" and change the ResourceFolder
On the next server start the new directory will appear with a Server and Client folder
any mods on the old directory will no longer load how to change the map your server is running of
the default one are /levels/gridmap_v2/info.json /levels/automation_test_track/info.json /levels/east_coast_usa/info.json /levels/hirochi_raceway/info.json /levels/italy/info.json /levels/jungle_rock_islandinfo.json /levels/industrial/info.json /levels/small_island/info.json /levels/smallgrid/info.json /levels/utah/info.json /levels/west_coast_usa/info.json /levels/driver_training/info.json /levels/derby/info.json

a mod when loading into the game being stuck at -% means the mod has been corupted during file uploading try deleating the mod then reuploading
when loading into your server it will never load and evenaly BeamMP will crash means one or multiple of the mods are not compatable with BeamMP try looking for a difrent version of the mod which is deditated for BeamMP
