How to Change Your SCP: 5K Server Name and Map Rotation

SCP: 5KUpdated Sep 24, 20263 min read

SCP: 5K takes most of its server settings from launch parameters rather than a config file. That includes the map rotation, which is the setting people most want to change.

Where the settings are

Open your server in the panel and go to its Startup Settings page, reachable from the server overview. The parameters there map onto the server's own launch arguments and cover the server name, the password, the player count and the map rotation.

Stop the server, change the values, then start it. These are read only at launch.

The map rotation

The rotation is a comma separated list of internal map names passed as a single argument:

-maprotation=Area12,M_HuntSweden,M_WaveSurvival
  • Use the internal map names, not the names shown in game.
  • No spaces after the commas.
  • The server plays them in order and loops.

Each map is tied to a game mode, so the rotation is also how you decide what your server plays. Mixing modes in one rotation works, but a server that changes mode every map is harder to build a community around.

The gameplay config

Deeper gameplay tuning, including SCP spawn rates and custom mode rules, lives in the server's saved config under:

Pandemic/Saved/

These values are ignored until you turn the override on:

bOverrideDefaults=true

Enabling the gameplay config disables stats and achievements on your server. That is a deliberate design decision by the developers, not a fault, and it is the trade you make for a custom ruleset. Leave the override off if your players care about progression.

Slots

Your plan's slot count is applied through the MAX_PLAYERS variable on the same Startup Settings page. Upgrade the plan in the billing area to run more players.

Do not change the ports

The port values must match the ones allocated to your server, shown on the server overview. Changing them makes the server unreachable.

Apply and verify

Start the server and read the panel console. It reports the map it loaded and names any map in the rotation it could not resolve.
