How To Add Custom Maps To Your Return to Castle Wolfenstein Server

Return to Castle Wolfenstein has a large library of community maps. Here's how to add them to your server.

Uploading Custom Maps

  1. 1
    Download the map. You need its .pk3 file; unzip it first if it came in a .zip.
  2. 2
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  3. 3
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  4. 4
    Open the main folder and upload the .pk3 file.
  5. 5
    Start your server.

To play the map, add its name to the rotation file for your game type, as shown in Change Game Type. The map name is the .bsp file inside the maps folder of the .pk3, for example mp_mymap.

Note

Players who don't have the map download it when they join: iortcw players through your server's built-in FastDL, and players on the original game after typing /cl_allowdownload 1 in the console.
