Hey so I’m new to hosting and I’ve got the environment set up for a couple of friends of mine to learn to play. I figured out how to do some of the round set up console commands but I can’t seem to select a map. It defaults to this pretty cool space ship that should work for my purposes but I also wanted to show them the other maps. Is there a list somewhere of these commands or does anyone know what the proper command for this is?
Or am I doing this the hard way and there’s a better way I’m unaware of. Sorry if this doesn’t fall under general, I didn’t think this counted as development.
I don’t know that we have a great reference of commands, sadly. Best is to ask here or on Discord.
For your question specifically, you can use the forcemap command to select a proper map. By default, map picks are decided based on player count, so on an empty server you’ll get Reach (the ship).
This is the appropriate category, don’t worry.

Cool!
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question, I greatly appreciate it. Going to try and compile a little list of useful commands like this because im bound to forget some.
Im teaching my friends how to play on a personal server before we join a main server because they thought it a bit much to take in at first. This really helps because now I can show them map layouts as well as well as a few things that Reach doesnt have.
Do you happen to know if theres a way for me to remove the time lock from jobs? My best guess is its in a server file somewhere but attempts to locate it havnt brought back anything.
Gonna quote the Discord bot response we have for this:
To disable roletimers on your sandbox server do the following:
Permanently,
- Shutdown your server,
- Open the
server_config.tomlfile in a text editor. Should be in the server folder,- Under the
[game]section addrole_timers = false,- Start the server,
[game] role_timers = false rest-of-the-options...Temporary (till server restart),
- Open the game console using backtick (`) (you can rebind this button in options too),
- Type
sudo cvar game.role_timers false,- Rejoin the server if you are in the lobby

command is
forcemap [map name case sensative]
Example is forcemap Box
If you try typing in console via tilde in client
forcemap and press spacebar, it will show you list of maps in client. You can use arrow key to cycle them(up and down). Which allow you to see available map names
If you want to see all commands type: list
setgamepreset greenshift - is the command to stop most station damaging things.
You can also do it in Command prompt in window your command prompt server window
Oh you also can use: restartround
to restart round fast to change map afterwards
