======Adding Custom Maps======

You can add custom maps to your server. A custom map includes its own layout and can also include any of its own assets, such as additional sounds, models, and textures. To add a map to your server:

=====Copy the Map Files to Your Server=====

This is the simple part. Usually, the mapper will have packaged up their map in a way where the files they provided can be safely merged with your GE:S folder.

=====Write a Download List=====

===The Easy Way (Using SourceMod Plugins)===

If your server runs SourceMod, you can use the [[https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=602270|SM File/Folder Downloader and Precacher]] plugin, which is more flexible and easier to use than the built-in download list system. It is **not** recommended to use the precache functionality, however.

===The Hard Way (Using the Inbuilt System)===

Download Lists are text files with the .res file extension. They list all the files (except for the .bsp file) that are required for a map. They should be located inside the ''maps'' folder, and bear the same name as the relevant map file.

In this example, we will write a .res file for a map named ge_map. The .res file will be located at ''maps/ge_map.res''.

  "resources"
  {
  "materials/VGUI/loadingscreens/ge_map.vmt" "file"
  "materials/VGUI/loadingscreens/ge_map.vtf" "file"
  "materials/VGUI/loadingscreens/ge_map_widescreen.vmt" "file"
  "materials/VGUI/loadingscreens/ge_map_widescreen.vtf" "file"
  "scripts/soundscapes_ge_map.txt" "file"
  "scripts/music/level_music_ge_map.txt" "file"
  "sound/music/my_levels_music.mp3" "file"
  }

=====Add it to Your Map Cycle=====

If you use a map cycle, add it to that.

To add your map to the server's map cycle, list the map file (excluding the file extension) on a new line in your map cycle file. By default, the map cycle file is ''mapcycle.txt''. If you have any plugins that modify the map selection, then the procedure for your server may be different.

=====Create a Map Script=====

If the map did not come with its own script file, you will need to make one.  

Map scripts are located in ''scripts/maps'', and use the name of the map as the file name (with ''txt'' as the extension, instead of ''bsp'').

=====Add it to Your Fast Download Server=====

Upload to your Fast Download server. If you don't know what that is, see [[goldeneye/server/fastdl]].
