Multiplayer Workshop Maps CS2 (Dedicated Server) EN

In this guide we:

• start the server
  
• set it up
  
• run a map from the workshop

Server creation

Go to the cs2 files section:

The path should look something like this

.\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\bin\win64

Create a BAT file

Create a bat file in .\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\bin\win64, write the following

.\cs2.exe -dedicated -port 25565 +map de_mirage

• -dedicated
  starts the server, always needed
  
• -port <*****>
  Port used to connect to the server. You can specify any port, but this port must be open.
  
• +map <name>
  Specifies the map when the server is starts. For example de_mirage. IMPORTANT! You can't start a map from the workshop this way!
  Always required, even if you run only workshop map, you must run the default map first.

Startup and configuration

Run the bat file and wait for the map to load:

Next, we can enter commands that we may have specified in the game, for example
sv_cheats true
You can also run configs, for example exec gamemode_competitive.cfg

All these configs can be found in

.\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg

Also when starting the server automatically starts server.cfg, which is located in the same folder.

Workshop maps

To run a map from the workshop we need the command

• host_workshop_map <id>

and the id of the map

For example, to run the awp_india map, go to its workshop page:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3070290869

We need to copy the workshop map id:


Next, we enter a value to run the map on the server:

host_workshop_map 3070290869

You don't need to subscribe to the map to run it on the server.

After that the server will download the map and after a while you will see a picture like this:


If you want run map then server starts, your bat file should look like this:

.\cs2.exe -dedicated -port 25565 +map de_mirage +host_workshop_map 3070290869

Connecting to the server

Type

status

in the server console and find out the server's ip:port:

In the game in the console type and play:

connect ip:port

If you have the map in your subscriptions, you will join the server immediately.
If you don't have the map, cs will ask you to download it:

Configs for training

Switches on a mode that is similar to the settings from the menu for training:

• Infinite ammo and grenades
  
• Grenade Trajectory and Camera Only the grenades that you throw yourself can be seen.
  
• Infinite warm-up

and additionally

• Weapons can be bought everywhere.
  
• Increased the number of grenades that can be carried to 6 (maximum)

prac.cfg

sv_cheats true
exec gamemode_competitive.cfg
bot_kick
sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_pipreview true
sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_trailtime 8
mp_warmup_pausetimer 1
sv_infinite_ammo 1
mp_buy_anywhere 1
ammo_grenade_limit_total 6
mp_restartgame 1

Disable everything and switch the mode to competitive:
dprac.cfg

sv_cheats false
exec gamemode_competitive.cfg
bot_kick
sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_pipreview false
sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_trailtime 0
mp_warmup_pausetimer 0
sv_infinite_ammo 0
mp_buy_anywhere 0
ammo_grenade_limit_total 4
mp_restartgame 1

I get Host activate: Idle (console) always, what do i do?

[Yet - E]

I've got "enable to connect" from my friends when they try to join my server :(

[Algu]

quick guide on how to open your port?

[feicap]

<phr34k>, checked on +host_workshop_collection 3074694948 and my server is loading this collection after de_dust2 is loaded.
Perhaps your server takes a long time to download the workshop map and therefore there is no response from the server or you specified the wrong collection id.

[phr34k]

I cannot start my server with a workshop map, it keep starting with de_dust2. I set the my collection and set the map from the collection i want to start the server with, but still just dust2. Anything I am missing - thank you for your time.
