Hello everyone

I had problems setting up a CS:GO Server using a custom map because of the gamemodes_server.txt. To find the issue I tracked it down and tried to just copy the contents of gamemodes_server.txt.example to gamemodes_server.txt.
These are the example configs by valve so it should work, right?

Well it doesn't.

I get lots of errors like

RecursiveLoadFromBuffer: got empty keyname in file gamemodes_server.txt

Below is the important part of the startup console log.

What do I have to do in order to make it play only one custom map in classic casual?

Many thanks!

(Hope this is the correct sub forum)

I've created a tool for making a gamemodes_server.txt

If you want you can try it

Thanks surfhope.

Wow! You're a genious! Your tool worked right upon first try! Gonna use this in future

One last question, if I may ;)

I want to use this map: http://gamebanana.com/csgo/maps/download/168213

It says there I should add this:

mp_autoteambalance 0 mp_limitteams 0 mp_buytime 999 mp_maxrounds 10000 botjointeam_t bot_quota 64

So I added it here:

"casual" { "maxplayers" "64" "convars" { "mp_autoteambalance" "0" "mp_limitteams" "0" "mp_buytime" "999" "mp_maxrounds" "10000" "bot_join_team_t" "" "bot_quota" "64" }

But still there are 4 bots in CT team and 30 in T team while there *should* be no bots in CT team and all bots in T team. Did I do something wrong?

[surfhope]

Have you tried it with less bots?

Maybe that's the problem.

[Subray]

bot_quota 0

you have 64 so you are adding 64 bots to the game.

[Jackmaster]

LOL bot_quota 64

Do i need to edit my servers start cmd line to load the gamemodes_server.txt?

No, you just have to create this file that's all.
