How to create a custom server with a custom map

Taken from here: CSGO

mp_timelimit 0

Game time per map in minutes.

This should be the command used to modify the time to change the map time. Since there are no commands to directly modify the time it takes to change maps, I suggest you use the next following command:

mp_roundtime "5"

How many minutes each round takes.

Since you want a 10 second mapchange time, mp_timelimit should be 29, while mp_roundtime should be 4. (Thus, 7 rounds of 4 minutes each, and with additional time from other events, such as half-time, warm-up, etc.)

Here are a list of other commands associated with "time-related" issues:

mp_halftime_duration "15" // Number of seconds that halftime lasts
mp_round_restart_delay "7" // Number of seconds to delay before restarting a round after a win
mp_restartgame "0" // game will restart in the specified number of seconds

Honestly though, what it boils down to is really you can't really change it. There are so many things to factor in (If you're playing DE modes, then if the bomb is planted before the round ends, you'll have to factor that time in too). There are a lot of things to factor in when determining how long each map within the rotation is run as well as determining how long your rounds are.

I'll get questions 2 and 3 out of the way first. In the CS:GO authoring tools, open the Workshop Map Publisher. This is where you input all your information about your map, including name, a short description, and what game mode. As soon as you click publish, your map will be on the workshop, give or take some Valve Time.

Before you do any hosting, you'll need to forward ports in your router. Find your router in this list, and you will be guided on how to forward the ports needed for CS:GO.

I would highly recommend starting listen server, a server hosted while you're playing CS:GO and will be shutdown when you disconnect, rather than a dedicated server. Dedicated servers are used only if you're going to be hosting for a very long time.

• First, place your completed map in %steamapps%\common\CS:GO\csgo\maps\

• Then, go to this website, and jot down your IP address. You'll give this out to your friends.

• Now, start CS:GO, and open the console with the tilde key, `, then type map your_map_name and hit Enter. Once your map loads, open the console again, and input sv_lan 0, this will allow other players to join.

• That's it! Other players will be able to join with the console command connect your.ip.here. Just make sure they've downloaded your map from the workshop before they connect.

NB: If players cannot connect to your server, open the Steam Overlay, head over to CanYouSeeMe.org, and enter port 27015. If this test fails, players will not be able to connect; make sure all your ports are forwarded correctly.
