Adding Maps to Pavlov VR Servers

Configuration

The process of adding maps to your Pavlov server varies whether you use Shack or PC. Before adding a map, you should first select a Game Mode and then follow the steps below.

Log Into The Panel

First login on https://panel.forestracks.com (opens in a new tab) and click on your server. If you cannot login, follow the Troubleshooting Guide.

Locate File Manager

Next click the "File Manager" panel tab

Open The Game.ini

Open your Game.ini configuration file in Pavlov/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/

Add The New Map

At the bottom of the file, add a new map like MapRotation=(MapId="SVR_John_Bestbuy", GameMode="SND"), here's an example:

Game.ini
...
LimitedAmmoType=2
TickRate=90
TimeLimit=60
MapRotation=(MapId="sand", GameMode="DM")
MapRotation=(MapId="SVR_John_Bestbuy", GameMode="SND")

Reboot

Click the "Reboot" button on the "Console" panel tab

Finding Maps To Use

If you use Standard PC or Beta PC, you can either use maps from the Steam Workshop (opens in a new tab) or the new recommended mod.io (opens in a new tab) site.

If you use maps from the Steam Workshop, The MapId should start with "UGC" and look like UGC######. Find the map you want in the workshop. For example, notice the URL for Mirage (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2670152485 (opens in a new tab)). The 10 numbers at the end of the URL are what you need, so UGC2670152485 would be the MapId for Mirage.

If you use maps from mod.io, the method is very similar, you still start the MapId with UGC except rather than getting the ID number from the URL, you will see it listed as the "Resource ID" on the map page.

Here's an example of what the MapId in your Game.ini will look like for PC:

Game.ini
...
LimitedAmmoType=2
TickRate=90
TimeLimit=60
MapRotation=(MapId="sand", GameMode="DM")
MapRotation=(MapId="UGC1758245796", GameMode="GUN")
