How To Change The Map On Your Nuclear Dawn Server

Your server starts on the map in its settings, then moves through the map cycle after each round.

Changing The Starting Map

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

Use the map's name without .bsp, for example hydro, metro, silo or clocktower. Custom maps work too once you upload them.

Changing Maps While The Server Runs

In the Console page of Bropanel, type changelevel metro with the map you want. With RCON you can do the same from the game with rcon changelevel metro.
