Does anyone know how to setup a Beam MP Server with a custom map? What is supposed to go in the "map" field and where does the map file have to be located?
Hi, Did you check the official wiki? https://wiki.beammp.com/en/home/server-installation Maps All default maps (maps which aren't mods) work out-of-the-box and do not have to be installed. You simply change the Map setting in the ServerConfig.toml file to any of these. For any other modded maps, do this: Put your map's .zip file in your server's (Resources/Client) folder. Next, have a look inside the map's zip file (don't extract it) and open the levels folder. In this folder there should be simply one other folder with the name of the map, for example “myawesomedriftmap2021”. Make sure to copy or remember this name exactly as it is written in that folder's name. Open your ServerConfig.toml. In the Map setting, you should see /levels/MAPNAME/info.json, where MAPNAME is likely something like gridmap_v2. You want to now replace this MAPNAME with the name of the folder from the last step, in that example it was myawesomedriftmap2021. In the end it should look like this (for this example) and should have /info.json at the end. Map = '/levels/myawesomedriftmap2021/info.json' Now, when someone joins your server, it should download the map automatically and work as expected.
