EDIT: This issue has been solved. Thanks!


Hey everyone,

I've been Googling this forum and all others all day trying to find a solution for this problem, but I just can't do it. Hopefully you can help me out!

I've got a fresh install of CS:GO Server up and running, and am trying to make it run a custom mapgroup. The game confirms that it's booted into the mapgroup I defined -- "mg_custom" -- but when print_mapgroup is executed, it's blank. There are no maps listed in the group.

Booting with +mapgroup mg_active does not have this problem -- only when I try to boot into mg_custom. Console throws a few errors at the start of the round (image attached) but they don't appear to be at fault, to me.

Attached is my gamemodes_server.txt file. As you can see, all maps listed are basic ones included in the base game.

Appreciate any help you can give, thanks!

"GameModes_Server.txt"
{
	"gameTypes"
	{
		"classic"
			{
			"gameModes"
				{
				"casual"
					{
						"mapgroupsMP"						
						{
							"mg_custom"			""
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}

i don't know how to use GameModes_Server.txt properly as well, but i just directly edited the gamemodes.txt, add a custom group below "mg_deathmatch" like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"mg_deathmatch"
{
"imagename" "mapgroup-bomb"
"nameID" "#SFUI_Mapgroup_allclassic"
"tooltipID" "#SFUI_MapGroup_Tooltip_Desc_DeathMatch"
"name" "mg_deathmatch"
"icon_image_path" "map_icons/mapgroup_icon_deathmatch"
"maps"
{
"de_dust2" ""
"de_inferno" ""
......
"ar_baggage" ""
"ar_monastery" ""
}
}

"mg_custom1"
{
"imagename" "mapgroup-bomb"
"nameID" "#SFUI_Mapgroup_allclassic"
"tooltipID" "#SFUI_MapGroup_Tooltip_Desc_DeathMatch"
"name" "mg_deathmatch"
"icon_image_path" "map_icons/mapgroup_icon_deathmatch"
"maps"
{
"de_mirage" "0"
"de_dust2" "1"
"de_inferno" "2"
"de_overpass" "3"
"de_train" "4"
"de_vertigo" "5"
"de_ancient" "6"
"de_engage" "7"
"cs_apollo" "8"
"de_guard" "9"
}
}

"mg_armsrace"
{
"imagename" ......
......
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and it works for me.
also if someone can teach us how to use GameModes_Server.txt properly, im willing to learn.

I hadn't tried just directly editing gamemodes.txt -- was under the impression that GameModes_Server.txt was the "proper" way to make adjustments, as Valve can update gamemodes.txt whenever they like. But that will probably be my backup plan if I can't figure out GameModes_Server.txt!

gamemodes.txt will be automatically overridden and restored to what it was before when a new update comes out, never edit it.

i know it will be recreate every new update, however there's no much to do to just add one mapgroup into it. and as i mentioned, i don't fully understand how to use GameModes_Server.txt, as this way can do, i just tried to share it, since "Appreciate any help you can give," , i do hope to know how to use the GameModes_Server.txt properly as well, if you can help, i'd appreciate it much.

I'm trying to set this up in the correct way, but it simply won't work for me through gamemodes_server.txt (see the issue in the OP). Manually adding my mapgroup to gamemodes.txt, on the other hand, works like a charm. Any insight into why?

Aaaaand I figured it out.

I didn't properly close my curly brackets in the "gameTypes" section -- one was still hanging open, which kept the mapGroup from loading properly.

Truly embarrassing stuff!!
