Maps and Game Modes

Add maps and game modes to your queue to give players variety and control over what they play.

Adding Maps​

Use /map add to add a map to your queue.

Map Configuration Options​

When adding a map, you can configure:

  • Map name - The display name
  • Game mode (optional) - Associate the map with a specific mode
  • Image URL - Visual representation of the map
Image URLs

The image link must be a direct link to an image file.

Valid format: https://example.com/photo.jpg

Direct image URLs typically end in .jpg, .png, .gif, or .webp.

Example​

/map add name:Dust2 image:https://example.com/maps/dust2.jpg

Map Selection Configuration​

Selection Methods​

Use /map selection to configure how maps are chosen:

  • Voting - Players vote on available maps
  • Random - Randomly select from the map pool
  • Sequential - Rotate through maps in order
  • Captain pick - Team captains choose the map

Map Bans​

Enable map banning with /map bans:

  • Players/captains can ban maps before selection
  • Reduces the available map pool
  • Common in competitive formats

Reshuffle Maps​

Use /map reshuffle to allow players to re-roll the map selection if they're unhappy with the initial choice.

Advanced Voting​

Configure map voting behavior with /map voting:

  • Vote duration
  • Required vote percentage
  • Tiebreaker rules

Game Modes​

Game modes allow you to create different rule sets or variants:

Examples:

  • Standard / Competitive / Casual
  • Capture the Flag / Team Deathmatch / King of the Hill
  • Best of 1 / Best of 3 / Best of 5

Add game modes similar to maps, and they'll appear in the voting section.

Viewing Your Maps​

See all configured maps with /info (page 4).

This displays:

  • Map names
  • Associated game modes
  • Image URLs
  • Selection settings

Best Practices​

  1. Start small - Add 3-5 maps initially, expand as needed
  2. Use quality images - Good visuals improve the player experience
  3. Test voting - Ensure map selection works smoothly before going live
  4. Consider bans - Map bans add strategy but slow down queue times
  5. Balance variety - Too many maps can overwhelm, too few gets repetitive
