Fistful of Frags

Change the starting map on a Fistful of Frags server

Default Map is passed to the Source launcher every time the server starts. Use a map’s internal filename without .bsp, and upload required assets before selecting custom content.

Make the change

  1. In Files, confirm the map exists under fof/maps.
  2. Record the working Default Map and back up the server configuration.
  3. Stop the server between rounds and change Default Map in Startup.
  4. Start and check Console for missing-map or missing-model messages.
  5. Join with one client and test the custom content before inviting players.

Check the result
