This guide explains how to load a map on your s&box server. Maps determine the environment your server runs and can be selected from a wide range of community-created content.
You can browse and find maps on the s&box UGC, then set your chosen map in the Config section of your panel. The steps below will walk you through selecting and applying a map so it loads correctly on your server.
Selecting a Map to Use
You can locate your desired map on the community workshop for s&box, here. In this example, we will be using the map "Flatgrass".
Configuring the Map on the Server
- Access your Control Panel and navigate to the Config tab.
- Locate the Map option and set it to the map identifier. This follows the format author.map_name, which you can find in the map's URL - e.g. sbox.game/facepunch/flatgrass → facepunch.flatgrass.
- Create a new Commandline under the Commandline Manager, which will look something like this:
- Save the commandline and Select it and the server will be restarted with that game.
