Is it possible to play Danger Zone only with friends?

Bless you I'll try when i get home

You can play with just you and your mates. Firstly navigate to

C://Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/cfg

In there look for a file called

gamemode_survival.

If your game is in a different drive from standard, then navigate the same but in D or E or whatever instead of C

Right click the file and drag to your desktop, then use option to copy.

Now click on the name and change name

from

gamemode_survival

to

gamemode_survival_server.

Now put that file back in the cfg folder where it came from.

This file will now hold all the settings for your server.

Open up the file in notepad and make sure it says in there

bot_quota 0

that will stop any bots from spawning on the server (more about that later) there are other settings you can change if you want but leave them as they are for the moment.

close and save

Start up CSGO

Invite your friends to lobby.

Click on menu arrow to start game

In drop down menu change Official Matchmaking to

Practice With Bots.

Select Casual and any map.

This will take you to a normal Casual map

Once you are in the Server and all your friends are too Bring down console and type

game_type 6; game_mode 0; map dz_blacksite;

now press return and the game should load. Have fun.

If you play it regular in this mode, I find easier to bind a key to fire up this mode.

While you are in game. Bring down the console and type

bind "p" "game_type 6; game_mode 0; map dz_blacksite;"

and press return.

Now P will be bound to that command,

and when you start a casual game you can press P and it will fire up the Danger Zone map without having to type it in console every time.

If you want to use a different letter than P just put whichever one you want to use in there instead.

Just a small note, you wont be able to play with bots in this mode,

as there are no proper waypoints for them to follow and they will just stand in one place and do nothing.

I have actually waypointed the map and got them to run around with weapons and shoot.

but they don't seem to be programmed to understand about opening boxes or ordering equipment, picking up ammo, or using stuff, plus they don't understand about the fire. So won't try to avoid it.

I am working on a mode to try and bypass a lot of that for them with the settings, but it's still a work in progress.

Oh if you want to play as teams

copy these 3 commands in to your

gamemode_survival_server file

sv_dz_autojointeam 0

sv_jointeam_allowed 1

sv_dz_team_count 2

The last line is the number of people you want on each team

Now when you are in game, during the warm up

each person will type into their console

dz_jointeam 1 or

dz_jointeam 2 or

dz_jointeam 3 etc

depending on which team you want to be in 9 teams are allowed
