How To Change The Start Map On Your Action: Source Server

The start map is the map your server loads when it starts or restarts. After that map ends, the Map Rotation takes over.

Changing The Start Map

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Gameplay, edit Start Map and enter the map name, for example act_rooftops.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Map names start with act_. The stock maps are listed in Map Rotation. To use a community map, add it to your server first. If the map you enter isn't on your server, it starts on act_airport instead.
