Your DDNet server started on Tutorial instead of your map

DDNet (DDraceNetwork)Updated Oct 19, 20262 min read

Your server starts on Tutorial when Server map names a map that is not in data/maps. Upload the map, or choose a start map that is on the server, on the Maps page.

Check it

  • The Maps page shows a notice that the map is not on the server and that the server starts on Tutorial.
  • The Console says, when the server starts, that the map named in Server map is not in data/maps, so it starts on Tutorial.

Fix it

  1. Open Maps in the left menu.
  2. Upload the map with Upload a map, or pick another one.
  3. Click Start on this map on its row, confirm, then Restart now.

See How to choose the start map of your DDNet server.

Common causes

  • The name in Server map is spelled differently, or with different capitals, from the file in data/maps. Choosing the map with Start on this map avoids that.
  • The map was deleted, or it was never uploaded to this server.
  • You restored a backup from before the map was uploaded.
