Adding maps

You set your Battlefield 3 map rotation on the Maps tab in the Fragnet dashboard. The tab edits your server's MapList.txt for you. You can also manage the map list from your PRoCon layer: see Setting up Maplist via Procon.

Add maps on the Maps tab​

  1. Open the Fragnet dashboard, go to My servers and select your server.
  2. Open the Maps tab. The Map rotation card lists the maps your server plays, top to bottom, with the mode and how many rounds each.
  3. Select Add map. A new row appears at the bottom of the list.
  4. In the new row, choose the map (for example Strike at Karkand), then the mode, and enter the number of Rounds (1 to 99).
  5. Use the up and down arrows to change the order, and the bin icon to remove a map.
  6. Select Save in the bar at the bottom of the page. Discard throws your changes away.
  7. Restart the server. The rotation applies when the server restarts. See Power controls.
info

The tab offers every mode for every Battlefield 3 map, but not every mode runs on every map. As the tab says: "Not every mode runs on every Battlefield 3 map; the server skips a pair it cannot run." Use the tables below to pick a mode the map supports.

If a row is marked "Choose a map from the list." or "This map does not run that mode.", change that row before you save.

Edit MapList.txt by hand​

If your map list has lines the tab can't read, the Maps tab says so and leaves the file as it is. Select Open in Files and edit MapList.txt in the Instance/Admin folder on the Files tab. See Edit a file.

Each line has the map's engine name, the game mode and the number of rounds. Example list:

XP1_001 ConquestLarge0 1
XP1_004 RushLarge0 2

Save the file and restart the server.
