I having a prob with the custom maps for my arms race server . I can get on the server fine when the map is ar_shoots or ar_baggage. But when theres no one on and its on a custom map like ar_blue_areana or some other custom map it freezes on the loading screen and it goes red but nothing happens. Is there something that im doing wrong or a way around it? Please let me know. Thanks

Have you added the custom maps to the mapgroups section for arms race in the gamemodes_server.txt?

You will see the example below in your gamemodes_serrver.txt. It defines the mapgroups for arms race

Continue to scroll down till you find



Notice how I added your map under "mg_armsrace".

Then scroll down till you find



Notice how each map has the above information for it, but note they do differ for each map. Copy and paste one of them and replace it with your map info. I went ahead and did the one above for "ar_blue_arena"

Woody, not only do you have to add a map to a maplist, you have to add the map itself under the "maps" section.

Oops yep! Thanks, added

That's another thing they need to fix. Imagine if you have 100+ maps, no bueno. :P

i have the maps in the mapcycle.txt and maplist.txt and i added them in the gamemodes_server.txt and this is what my gamemodes_server.txt looks like

That's close. Look at my example below though. Notice how I added "Maps" to the bottom with an example for ar_blue_arena. You will need to do this for each one of your maps.



If you don't want to do all of this manually somebody made a nifty little helper GUI. https://csgoelite.com/help/

ok thanks woody and monday i will try that tomorrow and post on it to let know how it goes

How do I know what the "imagename" "map-vietnam-overall" is?

Ok I did all that with all the maps and when i try to join on a different map then ar_baggage or ar_shoots it still does not load.

Heres my gamemodes_server.txt http://pastebin.com/uKbyNXdG

I noticed 2 mistakes i did and edited them so I will try it again and let know.

*Update* after those 2 fixes on the gamemodes_server.txt its still a no go on joining the server. I'm lost.

*Another Update* I also tried to websync the maps to my servers site and still a no go.

Heres the Pic of the Screen that I get.

Last Update. I got it to work now. I added the maps to the gamemodes.txt and now it works. Thanks for all the Help Guys.

Keep in mind that if you edit the gamemodes.txt the next CS:GO update will most likely overwrite that file. So keep a back up of it.

Glad you got it working!

how do i add maps to offline mode so that i can make a nav file for one to see if the map works that way cause the map crashes my server.
