How To Change Your BeamMP Server Map

Whether you’re looking to explore new terrains or just want a different environment for your players, this guide will walk you through the steps to change the server map on your BeamMP server using the Game Host Bros Panel. By following these instructions, you’ll be able to quickly switch to any of the stock maps that come with BeamMP or even set a custom map of your choice.

Using Default Maps

Here is how you can use some of the default maps that come with BeamMP.

  1. Log in to the Game Host Bros Panel and select your BeamMP server.
  2. Go to Configuration > Startup Parameters.
  3. Find the Map setting and select the map you would like from the dropdown.
  4. Restart your server.

Uploading Custom Maps

Custom maps are normally provided to you in a .zip format. To use custom maps on your BeamMP server, you’ll need to upload them via SFTP. For this example we will be uploading a file called custom_map.zip to our server.

  1. Log in to the Game Host Bros Panel and select your BeamMP server.
  2. Access your server files using SFTP.
  3. Upload your custom_map.zip to /Resources/Client/ so players are able to download the map.
  4. After uploading, go to Configuration > Startup Parameters in the Game Host Bros Panel.
  5. Look for Custom Map Zip File Name and enter the name of the custom_map.zip you just uploaded.
  6. Restart your server to apply the changes.

It should now say in the server console Successfully loaded custom map from ZIP file.

This is how your files should look if everything is uploaded correctly.
