2. Install the map with !wadd [id]
3. List installed maps with !wlist

Install Maps

To install a Workshop map, first find its Workshop ID on Steam.

Then use one of these commands:

!wadd [id] or !rcon host_workshop_map [id]

If you use CSS, you can also use:

css_rcon host_workshop_map [id]

Recommended: Use the CKRAS BOT command !wadd [id] whenever possible.

Accept Map Downloads

In CS2, players may need to confirm the map download if they do not already have the Workshop map installed locally.

If the map is not yet installed on the client, CS2 may ask for confirmation before downloading it.

Switch Maps

Once installed, you can switch to a Workshop map with:

!wmap [mapname]

Example:

!wmap de_cache

Use !wlist first if you want to see all Workshop maps currently installed on your server.

Webpanel

You can also manage Workshop-related server settings through the webpanel.
