How to change the map rotation on a TF2 server

Type mapcyclefile mapcycle_koth.txt in the server console to read the rotation from that file in tf/cfg, one map per line.

mapcyclefile

Sets which text file the server reads its map rotation from.

mapcyclefile <file>

Examples

mapcyclefile mapcycle_koth.txt

Use a KOTH-only rotation.

Arguments

fileRequired
File name of the map list.

What it does

The map cycle file lists one map per line. When a map ends, the server moves to the next entry. The default file name is mapcycle.txt, stored in the tf/cfg folder.

The game's own description: Name of the .txt file used to cycle the maps on multiplayer servers

Good to know

  • Write map names without the .bsp extension, one per line.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to tf/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a TF2 server first.
