How to Create a Fragsurf Server
Install
The Fragsurf Dedicated Server can be installed through steamcmd, its appid is 1035540. It is a windows build, linux servers are not yet supported.
We've prepared a simple script to get started easily: Fragsurf_Server.zip
Download and unzip this file and run fs_server_install.bat - it will download and install Fragsurf Dedicated Server. Run it again to start the server. If you need to update, close the server and run the script again.

Workshop Maps
You can use workshop maps anywhere using the name id.workshop. For example, this is the workshop page for skyworld3, its id is in the url:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3133748283
To load this map as the default, you'd use server.map=3133748283.workshop
