Adding a map to your GMod server is one of the first steps to creating a custom server. Follow the steps below to add a map to your GMod server.

Step 1: Find the Map You Want to Add

To change maps on a GMod server, you must find a map on the Steam Workshop and add it to your collection. If you do not know how to do this, follow our guide on how to add workshop addons to a GMod server for help. Once you have added your map to your workshop collection, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Navigate to the Startup Parameters Tab Under Configuration

Step 3: Set Your Map Name

In the Startup Parameters tab, enter the name of your map in the Map field. You can find the name of your map by looking at the individual workshop addon for the map you added to your Workshop collection in Step 1.

Step 4: Restart Your GMod Server

Once you have added your workshop collection, restart your GMod server for the workshop addons to work.

If you're following along with our how to make a GMod server guides, you can go to the next guide.
