Hey,
So, in order to do this in CSGO, you have to create a mapgroup. To do this
you need to edit gamemodes_server.txt (If you've never edited this file, it
will be written as gamemodes_server.txt.example). This is located in the
root /csgo/ directory. Inside of this file is a similar structure to
gamemodes.txt. So, here are the steps for this file:
1) In the hierarchy of the top half of the file, you can see at the bottom
a section on mapgroups. It should look like this:
"mapgroups"
{
"mg_armsrace" // mapgroup
definition
{
"name" "mg_armsrace"
"maps"
{
"ar_shoots" ""
"ar_baggage" ""
"ar_library_b1" ""
"ar_eeco_classic" ""
"ar_pocu_aztec" ""
}
}
}
}
Note what you've named it. I made this for my armsrace server. The custom
maps are just listed, as shown. You have to remember what you've called it,
if you are not overwriting a default mapgroup.
2) Up at the top of the gamemodes_server.txt file, you have to include your
mapgroup in the gametype you are seeking to edit. This example is for my
armsrace server.
"GameModes_Server.txt"
{
"gameTypes"
{
"gungame"
{
"gameModes"
{
"gungameprogressive"
{
"maxplayers" "16"
"convars"
{
}
"mapgroupsMP" // List of
mapgroups valid for this game mode
{
"mg_armsrace" ""
}
}
}
}
}
So, here you have to set the valid mapgroups under the mapgroupsMP section.
For more information on the structure, please refer to gamemodes.txt but do
not edit that file directly as it will be overwritten each update. The
convars section of this file is depreciated, and you should set convars now
in the cfg files in the csgo/cfg folder. If you want a custom one, add a
section like:
"exec"
{
exec "configname.cfg"
}
Once this is done, you can save this file, and edit the config of your
choice.
3) In your config file for the game mode, make sure to have:
sv_uploadurl "YOURWEBHOSTINGURLHERE"
eg: sv_uploadurl "http://mymaps.com/csgo/maps/"; (Note the hierarchy is the
same as the game's)
sv_allowdownload 1
sv_allowupload 1
4) Upload your map to your server in the /csgo/maps/ folder.
5) Upload your map as a .bz2 to your fastdl website (IE
http://mymaps.com/csgo/maps/)
6) If you want to set more options for your map, create a .kv file on your
server in the /csgo/maps/ directory. For more info on this file, go here:
http://csgomaps.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=34
7) For your launch options, it should look like this:
srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 1 +game_mode 0 +mapgroup
mg_CUSTOMMAPGROUP +map STARTINGMAP
In my case:
srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 1 +game_mode 0 +mapgroup
mg_armsrace +map ar_shoots
Up in the gamemodes_server.txt, you can set what game type and game mode
numbers you want to use when you create a game mode. For more info on where
those should go, refer to the structure of gamemodes.txt.
8) Run your server, and load any custom maps once if they don't include a
.nav file. It will generate one, then switch the map. Thereafter it should
be okay.
9) Please note, that since they don't have custom pictures, most custom
maps will not show anything on loading. There will be no bar, but it will
say continue after it loads.
