How to changemap a custom workshop map?

DaLaw66

Hi guys,

I'm having trouble changing the current map on the server to a workshop map.

I've tried the base command changemap ns_kleos or sv_changemap ns_kleos, but nothing happens.

I am able to change to standard distribution maps though.

Here is my MapCycle.json:

{
    "time": 30,
    "mode": "order",
    "maps":
    [
        "ns2_veil",
        "ns2_kodiak",
        "ns2_mineshaft",
        "ns2_biodome",
        "ns2_tram",
        "ns2_docking",
        "ns2_summit",
        "ns2_descent",
        "ns2_eclipse",
        { "map": "ns2_caged", "mods": [ "63c559c" ] }
	{ "map": "ns2_kleos", "mods": [ "470c56b" ] }
	{ "map": "ns2_triad", "mods": [ "46f035a" ] }
    ]
}

Thanks!

Did you download those mods at least one time with your server (either directly via the web admin page or via setting them as mods in the start params) ?

They're in the start params, as well as in the config to load on each map-change.

If I run sh_listmaps they do appear on the list too.

I've found that I can change to the custom maps via the web interface, but I'm sure there has to be a way to do this via console.

Thanks!

Easiest way ingame: Just type !menu into the chat and go to the maps tab

That works perfectly, thanks!

Shouldn't that be ns2_kleos ?

Just to clarify, slip of typing tongue if you will - yeah, I typed ns2_kleos in the game.

Cheers.

The CDT really need to make it update/download/temporarily mount these mods on startup.
