How to Load a Game on your s&box Server

This guide explains how to load a game on your s&box server. Loading a game allows you to choose which experience or map your server will run, including content created by the community.

You can browse games on sbox.game, then set the game on your server's Startup tab in the control panel. The steps below show how.

Choose a Game

You can locate your desired game on the community workshop for s&box, here. In this example, we will be using the game "Mow the Lawn".

Configuring the Game on your s&box Server

1. Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your s&box server.
2. Open the Startup tab and set Game package to the game's identifier. It has the form author.game_name, which you'll find in the game's address on sbox.game: for example sbox.game/taxi/mow_the_lawn becomes taxi.mow_the_lawn.
3. Click Save startup, then Restart at the top of the page. The server downloads the game as it starts.
