By default your Quake Live server starts on a random map from your map pool. You can make it start on a map and game mode of your choice instead.
Setting The Starting Map
- 1Log in to Bropanel and
Stopyour server. - 2In the sidebar, go to
Files. - 3Open the
baseq3folder, then openserver.cfg. - 4Find the
serverstartupline and change it to the map and factory you want, for exampleset serverstartup "map campgrounds ffa". If the line isn't in the file, add it at the end. - 5Save the file and
Startyour server.
The value is map, then the map name, then the factory ID. The factory is required, so the server knows which game mode to load. You can find every factory ID in our custom game factories guide, and map names in the mappool files in the baseq3 folder.
| Starting map | serverstartup value |
|---|---|
| Campgrounds, Free For All | map campgrounds ffa |
| Bloodrun, Duel | map bloodrun duel |
| Almost Lost, Clan Arena | map almostlost ca |
| Random map from your map pool | startRandomMap |
To go back to a random map on every start, set it to set serverstartup "startRandomMap".
