How To Add Custom Maps To Your Zombie Panic! Source Server

Besides a Workshop collection, you can upload custom maps yourself. Players who don't have the map download it when they join.

Uploading Custom Maps

  1. 1
    Download the map and unzip it on your computer. You need the .bsp file, for example zps_mymap.bsp, and the .nav file if there is one.
  2. 2
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  3. 3
    In the sidebar, go to Files and open the zps/maps folder.
  4. 4
    Upload the map files.
  5. 5
    If the map comes with materials, models or sound folders, upload them into the zps folder so they merge with the folders already there.
  6. 6
    Start your server.

To play the map, set it as the start map or add its name to the map cycle. Your server's built-in fast downloads send the map to players quickly.
