Hosting a Custom Map

[Ahmed Alkaabi]

Hi,

I am hosting Rust server by LGSM on Ubuntu. I would like to host a custom map on my server but I couldn't.

Here is my LGSM rustserver.cfg

#### Game Server Settings ####

## Predefined Parameters | https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/start-parameters
ip="0.0.0.0"
port="20006"
rconport="20007"
appport=28083
rconpassword="123456"
rconweb="1" # Value is: 1 for the Facepunch web panel, Rustadmin desktop and Rustadmin Online; 0 for RCON tools like Rusty.
servername="CUSTOM MAP TEST SERVER"
gamemode="vanilla" # Values: vanilla, softcore ( Doc: https://wiki.facepunch.com/rust/server-gamemodes )
customlevelurl="https://www.dropbox.com/s/uxvfqfv0g2fvnqe/sicko.1grid.v9.map?dl=1"
maxplayers="100"
saveinterval="300" # Auto-save in seconds.
tickrate="30" # default: 30, range: 15-100.

## Server Parameters | https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/start-parameters#additional-parameters
startparameters="-batchmode +app.listenip ${ip} +app.port ${appport} +server.ip ${ip} +server.port ${port} +server.tickrate ${tickrate} +server.hostname \"${servername}\" +server.identity \"${selfname}\" +server.gamemode ${gamemode} +server.levelurl \"${customlevelurl}\" +server.maxplayers ${maxplayers} +server.saveinterval ${saveinterval} +rcon.web ${rconweb} +rcon.ip ${ip} +rcon.port ${rconport} +rcon.password \"${rconpassword}\" -logfile"

When I start the server, it will generate a normal procedual map.

Should be +server.levelurl "dropboxlink ending with =1"

I don't think it works with customlevelurl

Thanks for replying.

I tried to do as following in server paramaeters, still didn't load the map.

+server.levelurl "https://www.dropbox.com/s/uxvfqfv0g2fvnqe/sicko.1grid.v9.map?dl=1"

Finally it has worked. I beleive that map was broken. I tried with another map and worked perfectly.

This is the server parameters I have used:

## Server Parameters | https://docs.linuxgsm.com/configuration/start-parameters#additional-parameters
startparameters="-batchmode +app.listenip ${ip} +app.port ${appport} +server.ip ${ip} +server.port ${port} +server.tickrate ${tickrate} +server.hostname \"${servername}\" +server.identity \"${selfname}\" +server.gamemode ${gamemode} +levelurl "https://www.dropbox.com/s/0nkidtknykf20a7/TFCNorthAmerica.map?dl=1" +server.maxplayers ${maxplayers} +server.saveinterval ${saveinterval} +rcon.web ${rconweb} +rcon.ip ${ip} +rcon.port ${rconport} +rcon.password \"${rconpassword}\" -logfile"

I have used the following parameter [ +levelurl ] instead of [ +server.levelurl ] and included the link followed by that as you said thanks to you.

I am not sure though if this was the issue from the first place or the map. However, the map definitely has an issue.

Yes +levelurl works aswell depending on how your host handles variables!

Glad it helped

Also i recommand you to remove the dropbox link haha
