How To Add Custom Maps To Your Quake Server

You can play any QuakeWorld map on your server. Here's how to add one.

Uploading Custom Maps

  1. 1
    Get the map's .bsp file, and its .lit or .loc file if it has one.
  2. 2
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  3. 3
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  4. 4
    Open the qw folder, then the maps folder, and upload the .bsp and .lit files.
  5. 5
    If the map has a .loc file, open the ktx folder, then the locs folder, and upload it there.
  6. 6
    Start your server.

Players change to the map by typing its name without .bsp in the console, or you can make it the start map.

Note

Players who don't have the map download it automatically when they join.
