Go to multiplayer, CREATE LOCAL GAME. That's how you play custom maps.

This is what you need to do.

To make custom maps work on a linux server you may have to modify some folder and file names.

There are 3 things that need to be lowercase.

Map folder name - Ex. insurgency_at_alcatraz
Info folder > info
Inside info folder the .desc file > insurgency_at_alcatraz.desc

Most custom maps have the first letter capitolized so you will have to manually change them if so.

When we released the first 2 mappacks we didn't realize they needed to be in this format for linux servers - on mappack 3 we made it compatible w/o changes. So unfortunately you will have to manually edit all the maps that came with mappack 1 and 2.
Thats it
