How To Add Custom Maps To Your Nuclear Dawn Server

Here's how to add community maps to your Nuclear Dawn server.

Uploading Custom Maps

  1. 1
    Download the map and unzip it. You need its .bsp file, plus its .nav file and any materials, models or sound folders that came with it.
  2. 2
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  3. 3
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  4. 4
    Open the nucleardawn/maps folder and upload the .bsp and .nav files. Upload any extra folders into nucleardawn as they are.
  5. 5
    Start your server.

To play the map, set it as your starting map or add its name (without .bsp) to your server's mapcycle.txt.

Note

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