How To Add Custom Maps To Your Action: Source Server

Here's how to add community maps to your Action: Source server.

Uploading Custom Maps

  1. 1
    Download the map. You need its .bsp file, plus any materials, models or sound folders that came with it. Unzip it first if it came in a .zip.
  2. 2
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  3. 3
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  4. 4
    Open the ahl2 folder. Upload the .bsp file into maps, and any materials, models or sound files into the folders with the same names.
  5. 5
    Start your server.

To play the map, add its name to your Map Rotation or set it as your Start Map. The map name is the .bsp file name without .bsp, for example act_mymap.

Note

Players who don't have the map download it automatically when they join, through your server's built-in FastDL.
