How to change map in my server ?

[Zackover]

hello guys, well i have a problem...
I created a server... just to me and my gf play... we like to build things...
And the map of the server isn't very good to build...
I would like know how to change the map, maybe i have to install something or change something in the config ?
If you can help me... thank's for the attention.

Hello Zackover,

If you're not already, I'd suggest you run pyspades [http://code.google.com/p/pyspades/downloads/list]. It's an open source version of the AoS server software, and it's significantly better/more feature rich than the vanilla version. Once you're running pyspades, set up your config and specify the map you want in there. Also, once you /login with the password you set in game, you can do /map mapname and that will also set the map.

If you're confused as to how to set config.txt, this wiki article is an excellent guide: http://code.google.com/p/pyspades/wiki/ConfigDotTxt

Best of luck!

If you use vanilla you can change it too.

Put the maps you want into your .vxl ace of spades file. Then instead of typing 'gen' type the map that you want thats in your folder.
