I have tried all tjis nonsense. And a lot of other stiff different ways tried everything and it just want show my map anywhere on server on game etc No where. Just keeps loading standard springstreet maps and all standard maps , even when i have deleted them from my rotation list. This is getting beyond a joke. AA you really need to make an ingame option to add maps or have them subscribe auotmatically into the ingame maps folder and then they can be accessable more easily. And Hosting to play this game privately with a group of friends should be much easier to set up then this .. Please any help guys i just want to get my map up for my group. Going on 4 days now trying to get this. This is quite honestly [TOS Violation] house.
Guys ?
i asked my support for help because i do host and have had small issues and i told them i will be crying until server is perfect after they help me finish my server i promised to copy all info and save,
so they told me a time and they called and we sat together and fixed new maps ---
Following instructions.
1. subscribe on steam workshop at the maps u wanna have,
2. then go to my internet and Use (FireFtp) best is to fix firefox first!
3. go to my gameserver web and find the link to (FTP)
4. go in and right click on ftp link choose the top icon OPEN WITH FIRE FTP and then in there they told me to locate the steam map on my pc on the left side in the screen witch i did and they guide me how to find the maps...
5. Here is my little thing they then tell me to go to right screen witch is the server ?
6. There they told me to locate this map ( aapg/AAGame/CookedPC/Maps )
7. in there it is specifik map folder for each map in game and they told me to right click and create a new one as for example i made ( Pipeline ) and then they told me to open the map pipeline that i did okay it was empty , they told me to copy over the file from left screen that was named
( Pipeline.metadata ) and i did that took 2 sec.
7.They told me to look at the right screen again and press out so i came back to maps so i see the folders and map names.
8.they now asked me to look at left screen and copy over the file named
( flo_Pipeline$76561198032909027_ac.umap ) in to the open map so it was as they other maps in the free at that map folder this take few min.
9. they now told me to restart server.
10. i did this and they said now the maps should work and so i did try and they actually now works ?
i have no clue if we have different providers and they give us different instructions but this was very easy to do and i have added 4 maps alone after the help from you guys and my support and all works just fine for me?
PSS... Ofcourse they told me to go to config.ini and ad map name in both vote and rotations list or i could choose only vote so the rotation is as normal.
Here though they actually told me TO ad exactly same name BUT !
Take away ( .umap ) because if i do not the map rotation will stop and only this maps will be choosen when they come to rotation...
FAIL NAME = flo_Pipeline$76561198032909027_ac.umap
CORRECT NAME = flo_Pipeline$76561198032909027_ac
so i do not know as i said i followed all guys instructions together and my server support gave me thumbs up for a good try they only corrected few things and helped me know how to ad one map so i can do it by myself in the future....
so thanx every one and hope my info also helps others if they get stuck

This works perfectly, you should make this a sticky or write up a tutorial like this.
The instructions that Shotgun posted may work, but are not the proper way to set up a server, since it bypasses the Auto Update feature for the server to keep maps updated. What will happen is that any time a content creator changes their map, the server and clients wanting to play that map will become out of sync. That's the "Version Mismatch" some people may have seen.
I know a proper tutorial should be done, but since I only use my own server and not a hosting service, I've wanted someone with broader experience to comment.
The /Maps folder is merely a path for official maps packaged with the game. Yes, the game reads that folder, but it's just not the best way. For instance, a system is in place to enter just the map ID number, without subscribing. The server should do all that work for you with the proper INI setup.
I want to type more, but I'm having a tough time keeping up with the latest changes myself...!
