How to host Workshop maps and collections on your CS2 server

Your CS2 server can start on a Steam Workshop map, or host a whole Workshop collection of maps.

1. Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your CS2 server.
2. Find the map or collection on the Steam Workshop. Its ID is the number at the end of its address (?id=1234567890).
3. Open the Startup tab. Under Workshop, paste the ID into Workshop map ID (one map) or Workshop collection ID (a collection).
4. Click Save startup, then Restart. The server downloads the map as it starts.

If both are filled in, the server starts on the Workshop map and the collection isn't used: empty Workshop map ID to host the collection. While either is set, the Map setting isn't used.

While the server runs, you can also switch to a Workshop map on the CS2 tab: paste its ID or link under Workshop map and click Play. Tick Start on it from now on to keep it after a restart (this fills in Workshop map ID).

For map votes at the end of a match with Valve's maps, set Map group on the Startup tab, for example mg_active.
