INSTALL CUSTOM SERVER FILES
If you don't see the Dedicated server you wish to install. You can use or find the APP ID on Steamdb.info or Google "someGame Dedicated Server Steam App ID" and chose a unique FolderName when running the install. SSM will figure out its not a game on the list and ask for the APP ID to finish the install process.

./ssm install customserver

SSM will created a folder called customserver, It will prompt for APPID and place the files in this folder. It will NOT create a Start/Launch script and the commands will be unavailable. See below...

CREATING CUSTOM default-config
SSM will not create a launch script with the above method. Find another game in the .csv that uses the same engine (ie Unreal Engine 4). Grab the default-config from the repo and use as template. Copy and save as new file name and Change the Function name as well. Then, edit it to fit your install. Add the filename and APPID to .csv and APPID to both functions in check_appid.ps1 as well. Make sure the file is in the default-config folder. Then, run the install again and it should build the launch script for you.

OR

CREATING CUSTOM launch script
If you used the above step you should have a launch script. You could technically build a launch script from scratch. There are some variables that have to be in launch script to perform some functions. You can use an existing launch script as a template. Edit to match your folder paths and game config.

Finally, I have a issue open for these types of requests. Just let me know what game you would like to see.
