Map Configuration

Each map entry supports the following properties:

Property	Default	Description
Name	(required)	Display name shown in menus and chat.
Id	(required)	Map identifier. Use the map name (e.g. de_dust2) or a workshop ID (e.g. 3124567099).
MinPlayers	0	Minimum number of real players required for this map to appear in votes and nominations. 0 means no minimum.
MaxPlayers	0	Maximum number of real players allowed for this map to appear in votes and nominations. 0 means no maximum.

Note: Maps without MinPlayers/MaxPlayers (or set to 0) are considered valid for any number of players. If you want a map to only appear when there are few players, you must also set MinPlayers on your other maps to exclude them at low player counts. Bots are not counted.

Example

{
    "MapChooserMaps": {
        "Maps": [
            {
                "Name": "Dust II",
                "Id": "de_dust2",
                "MinPlayers": 4
            },
            {
                "Name": "Inferno Night",
                "Id": "3124567099",
                "MinPlayers": 4
            },
            {
                "Name": "Mirage",
                "Id": "de_mirage",
                "MinPlayers": 1,
                "MaxPlayers": 3
            },
            {
                "Name": "Overpass",
                "Id": "de_overpass",
                "MinPlayers": 1,
                "MaxPlayers": 3
            }
        ]
    }
}

In this example, when there are 1–3 real players on the server, only aim_redline_snow and AWP LEGO will appear in votes and nominations. Once there are 4+ players, only Dust II and Inferno Night will be available.
