bms/cfg/mapcycle.txt

Add first map of each campaign to the mapcycle.
E.g. for the official campaign: bm_c0a0a

Workshop

Adding workshop content is relatively easy. Of course, you can't add everything. Each map has to be supported by SourceCoop or have support built-in.

Guide

On linux, first copy steamclient.so from steamcmd/linux32 to your server's bin folder. Backup in case.

  1. Create subscribed_file_ids.txt under <server>/bms.
  2. Add a workshop item id per line. It is part of the url when viewing the workshop. Unfurtunately, collections are not supported.
  3. Restart your server. You should see each item begin downloading or updating.

For troubleshooting, Steam saves its own logs. If using LinuxGSM, this would be under /home/bmdmserver/.local/share/Steam/logs/workshop_log.txt

Downloaded VPKs are saved in <server>/bms/addons/content/<App Id>/<Workshop Id>/

Need to find the map name if not provided by the author? Try maps * or use GCFScape to look inside the VPK.

Third party plugins

We recommend the following plugins to run alongside SourceCoop.
