How to change which prospect your Icarus server loads

Icarus loads a specific uploaded prospect from LoadProspect= in ServerSettings.ini. The value must match the prospect name from the JSON file in the server file manager.

1. Open your Icarus server in the control panel and stop the server.
2. Open File Manager, then go to Icarus/Saved/PlayerData/DedicatedServer/Prospects. If the prospect is not already on the server, upload it first: How to upload an Icarus prospect to your server.

   

3. Copy the exact prospect name you want the server to load. If the file is called my prospect.json, use my prospect.
4. Click Configuration Files, then open ServerSettings.ini with Text Editor.
5. Find LoadProspect= and enter the prospect name after the equals sign. For example, if the file is called my prospect.json, use LoadProspect=my prospect.

   

6. Make sure ResumeProspect=True is set. In Config Editor, this same setting is shown as Resume Prospect.

   

7. Click Save & Exit.
8. Start the server and test it in-game.

If the server still starts the wrong prospect, submit a support ticket and include the prospect name you entered.
