Running Custom Map

[Kanuval]

I have a map that I want to add to my server, how do I do it? The map is a .pk3 file, which I uploaded to my Main directory on the server. Am I able to run the map if the server is pure? If the map name is 'tigerland' do I just put the map in the main dir, then add mp_tigerland to my sv_maprotation? Also, do I enable downloads and if so what/where in the cfg do I place it.

Sorry for all of the noob questions, I'm new at this and want to get it done right.

1. Map does go into main.
2. make sure if your going to add it to your rotation you tell it what gametype to play first...not all custom maps play all gametypes.
3. Make sure you use the correct map name.....not all maps start with mp_ check the .bsp file in the pk3 for the correct name.
4.you can always just call the map from IG.
For a remote server /rcon map xxxxxx
Fopr a listen/local server /map xxxxxxx
5. Good Luck :wink:

Here's a followup to anyone else who needed to know what to do. I opened the maps pk3 file with winrar to find out what the bsp file was called. In my case both the pk3 and bsp were named mp_tigerland. I uploaded the pk3 to my main directory on the server, then edited the dedicated.cfg and put the following in the map rotation (usually found on the bottom of the config)

set sv_mapRotation "gametype tdm map mp_brecourt map mp_tigerland"

That is assuming I only want those two maps and only the tdm gametype running on the server. After that you should be good to go. Just a sidenote, if you check the bsp and it is named 'tigerland' and not 'mp_tigerland' you don't want to put the 'mp_' in your rotation, or when you call the map through rcon.

All custom maps have different names.

This is the procedure that I use:

-Download the custom map, place the .pk3 file in your main game folder.

-Start the game up, start new server, select the game type and the map and start up the game.

-When the map is loaded, bring down the console (the ~ key) and type:

/status

this will then list the name of the map.

That's the actual name that you use in your config file map rotation.
