How To Change The Gamemode On Your SA-MP Server

The gamemode decides how your server plays, from roleplay to deathmatch. Your server comes with three example gamemodes: gungame, derby and simpletdm.

Uploading Your Own Gamemode

  1. 1
    Compile your gamemode to an .amx file with Pawno, Qawno or the Pawn compiler.
  2. 2
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  3. 3
    In the sidebar, go to Files and open the gamemodes folder.
  4. 4
    Upload your .amx file.

Choosing the Gamemode

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Gameplay, find Gamemode and type the file name without .amx, for example gungame or myroleplay.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

If the console says the gamemode was not found, check that the name matches the .amx file in gamemodes exactly, including upper and lower case.

Gamemodes made for SA-MP 0.3.7 work as they are. Settings such as weather, time and chat radius can be changed in config.json in Files.
