[Noob Question] How can I make it so my server only runs Dust 2?

vesta · **Author**

Hello,

I can install, modify & configure plugins on my server. Yet, I cannot have it so my server only plays Dust II. Can someone point me in the right direction for this to work?

I am currently developing a basic retake server if you were wondering.

Thanks folks, I cannot find the server.cfg parameters anywhere or an appropriate plugin.

Delete all maps except de_dust2, delete maps.ini file and put only de_dust2 in mapcycle.txt

Do not delete any stock maps, they'll just get re-downloaded on updates and waste your bandwidth.

mapcycle.txt and maplist.txt are the two configuration files that SM cares about, which will do the job if you're running the nextmap plugin (it is one of the ones included with SM) for most games.

CS:GO has its own share of problems, the above will work but not look very nice because the server will try and change to other maps before being overruled, but I'm not very familiar with CS:GO's crazy config system and there is only a 50/50 chance that you're running CS:GO since you didn't include what game you're asking about.

Create a file in the csgo folder named "gamemodes_server.txt"

Paste this into that file:

Code:

// Values here override the default gamemodes.txt

"GameModes_Server.txt"
{
        "mapgroups"
        {
                "dustonly"  // mapgroup definition
                {
                        "name"                  "dustonly"
                        "maps"
                        {
                                "de_dust2"              ""
                        }
                }
        }
}

Add this to your startup params:

Code:

+mapgroup dustonly +map de_dust2

In default gamemodes.txt there seems two single map group of dust2

so try either mapgroup
"mg_dust247"
"mg_de_dust2"

Code:

		"mg_dust247"
		{
			"imagename"		"map-dust2-overall"
			"nameID"		"#SFUI_Map_de_dust2"
			"tooltipID"		"#SFUI_MapGroup_Tooltip_Desc_Dust247"
			"name"			"mg_dust247"
            		"grouptype"     "reserves"
			"icon_image_path"  		"map_icons/map_icon_de_dust2"
			"maps"
			{
				"de_dust2"		""
			}
		}

		"mg_de_dust2"
		{
			"imagename"		"map-dust2-overall"
			"nameID"		"#SFUI_Map_de_dust2"
			"tooltipID"		"#SFUI_MapGroup_Tooltip_Desc_Dust2"
			"name"			"mg_de_dust2"
			"icontag"		"bomb"
            "grouptype"     "reserves"
			"icon_image_path"  		"map_icons/map_icon_de_dust2"
			"maps"
			{
				"de_dust2"		""
			}
		}

Hmm...

Can you add icon_image_path to a map group and point ot to a custom image that you put on the download table?

...I guess those icons and decriptions are client side things :/
