Post subject:  Configuring your CS:GO server
Configuring a CS:GO server is much more complicated than any other Counter Strike, though this does allow for a greater amount of customization. There are four basic things you have to edit to configure your server, and then a few optional files.

Game type
The most basic configuration of your GO server is in the server's start command line. This allows you to start a game in a certain game mode. Add these commands to your server's command line to start a game in your desired game type:

Deathmatch:
Code:
+game_type 1 +game_mode 2
ArmsRace:
Code:
+game_type 1 +game_mode 0
Demolition:
Code:
+game_type 1 +game_mode 1
Classic Casual:
Code:
+game_type 0 +game_mode 0
Classic Competitive:
Code:
+game_type 0 +game_mode 1
GameModes_Server.txt
Note: Do not edit gamemodes.txt. This file gets overwritten every time an update is released. Instead, edit GameModes_Server.txt.

In your game server's /csgo directory, there is a file called GameModes_Server.txt.example. (Once you edit the file to your liking, make sure you save it as GameModes_Server.txt.) This file is loaded first upon launch of the server, and it servers two functions.
  • You will use this file to set the server's max player count.
  • You will use this server to set up a map group if you are not using the workshop system
Within the following spoiler tags, I've posted an example of the GameModes_Server.txt file for my deathmatch server.

Code:
"GameModes_Server.txt"
{
        "gameTypes"
        {
                "classic"
                {
                        "gameModes"
                        {
                                "casual"
                                {
                                        "maxplayers"                    "21"

                                        "mapgroupsMP"
                                        {
                                                "mg_deathmatch" ""
                                        }

                                }
                        }
                }
        }

        "mapgroups"
        {
                //
                // Map cycle groups
                //

                "mg_deathmatch"
                {
                        "name"                  "mg_deathmatch"
                        "maps"
                        {
                                "de_dust"            ""
                                "de_dust2"           ""
                                "cs_italy"           ""
                                "de_nuke"            ""
                                "de_train"           ""
                                "de_inferno"         ""
                                "cs_office"          ""
                                "de_aztec"           ""
                                "de_dust_se"         ""
                                "de_dust2_se"        ""
                                "cs_italy_se"           ""
                                "de_nuke_se"            ""
                                "de_train_se"           ""
                                "de_inferno_se"         ""

                                "de_aztec_se"           ""
                        }
                }
        }
}
server.cfg
The next configuration file that is loaded is the server.cfg file, located in /csgo/cfg. This is a file where you can put basic server configurations that aren't handled by gamemode_<gametype>.cfg, such as fastdl URLs or rcon passwords. Mine contains these things:
SpoilerShow
Code:
hostname "[AM] 20 slot Competitive 1|competitive maps|128 tick|absurdminds.net"
rcon_password "************"
sv_password "" //Only set this if you intend to have a private server!

sv_allowdownload 1
sv_downloadurl "***************"

logaddress_delall
logaddress_add absurdminds.no-ip.org:27500

exec banned_ip.cfg

mp_match_end_restart 0

sv_region 0

sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 1

fps_max 1000

sv_tags "20,absurdminds,vanilla,se,competitive"

sv_hibernate_when_empty 0
sv_hibernate_postgame_delay 0
gamemode_<gametype>_server.cfg
The final file that is loaded is the gamemode_<gametype>.cfg file. Within the /csgo/cfg file, there are five different files, one for each possible game type. Since I am running a competitive server, my interest lies with gamemode_competitive.cfg. This is where I set game-specific configurations, such as bot_quotas, alltalk, or round times. Once you edit your gamemode_competitive.cfg file, save it as gamemode_competitive_server.cfg. If you don't save it thusly, it will be overwritten any time you update the server.

mapcycle.txt
mapcycle.txt no longer controls the cycle of maps. To control the order of maps, you need to either edit the list in GameModes_Server.txt or edit the order in your workshop collection.

If you are using SourceMod to vote for maps, you can use mapcycle.txt to determine the maps being voted on like this:

First, edit /csgo/addons/sourcemod/configs/maplists.cfg
SpoilerShow
Code:
"MapLists"
{
        /**
         * Default requests go right to the mapcyclefile.
         */
        "default"
        {
                "target"                "mapcyclefile"
        }

        /* Admin menu, map menu */
        "sm_map menu"
        {
                "file"                  "mapcycle.txt"
        }

        /* Admin menu, map voting menu */
        "sm_votemap menu"
        {
                "file"                  "mapcycle.txt"
        }

        /* For the "randomcycle" plugin */
        "randomcycle"
        {
                "target"                "default"
        }

        /* For the "mapchooser" plugin */
        "mapchooser"
        {
                "target"                "default"
        }

        /* For the "nominations" plugin */
        "nominations"
        {
                "target"                "default"
        }
}
Next, put all of your maps in the mapcycle.txt. If you are using workshop files, it will look like this
SpoilerShow
Code:
workshop/279697343/am_grass2
workshop/252175350/am_plain
workshop/328763607/am_nuke2
workshop/252769284/aim_travesty
workshop/288379017/am_desert2
workshop/256601025/am_water
workshop/256877071/am_ramps
workshop/260149928/am_warehouse
workshop/279177142/am_aztec2
workshop/271463360/am_dust
workshop/280544066/am_dust2

workshop/255301758/am_dust2_cat
workshop/279705991/am_texture2
workshop/285223331/am_twotrains_am
Otherwise, just put the map names in like the default one has.

Steam Game Server Login Tokens
Valve requires every server to be registered with a unique Game Server Login Token. If you run ten servers, you need ten tokens. To generate a token, visit the Steam Game Server Account Management page. This page gives the specifics of generating this token. The token needs to be set in your server startup command line.

Post subject:  Re: Configuring your CS:GO server
Hey,
I was wondering what exactly do I do to allow people to automatically download maps when they connect to my server (i.e my friends). I know there is a command or something that I put somewhere, I just don't know what it is.
Thanks!

Post subject:  Re: Configuring your CS:GO server
sv_allowdownloads 1 should do it.

EDIT: I got your friend request. Hit me up any time if you need more help.
