How To Add Custom Maps To Your DDNet Server

You can play any DDNet map on your server, including maps you made in the built-in editor. Here's how to add them.

Uploading Custom Maps

  1. 1
    Get the map's .map file. Maps you made yourself are in the maps folder of your DDNet settings folder.
  2. 2
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  3. 3
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  4. 4
    Open the maps folder and upload the .map file.
  5. 5
    Start your server.

Without a map pack, every map in the maps folder gets its own vote. With a map pack, the votes show the pack's maps, and admins load a custom map with change_map Map Name in the remote console. You can also make it the start map.

Note

Players who don't have the map download it automatically when they join.
