Custom maps for Quake 4 come as .pk4 files, and mods come as a folder of their own. Here's how to add them to your server, and how to add server settings that aren't in Bropanel.
Uploading Custom Maps
To play a custom map, enter its path in Map or Map Rotation, for example mp/mymap. The map's readme usually tells you the path. Players who don't have the map can download it from your server when they join, see Downloads.
Running A Mod
- 1Log in to Bropanel and
Stopyour server. - 2In the sidebar, go to
Files. - 3
- 4In the sidebar, go to
Settings. - 5Under
Modding, editModand enter the mod's folder name, for exampleq4max. - 6Click
Save & Restartto apply your changes.
Players need the same mod to join. To go back to the standard game, clear the Mod field and click Save & Restart.
Caution
The mod needs a Linux version of its server files. A mod made only for Windows won't start, and the Console shows an error.
Adding Your Own Server Settings
- 1Log in to Bropanel and
Stopyour server. - 2In the sidebar, go to
Files. - 3Open
q4base/server.cfg. - 4Add your settings, one per line, for example
set si_countdown 5, then save the file. - 5Start your server.
Caution
server.cfg runs before the settings from Bropanel, so for options that are in Settings, like the server name, passwords, game type, map and limits, the Bropanel setting wins. Change those in Settings instead.
