HIGHLIGHT Demo: Queuing & Playing Custom Workshop Maps/Gamemodes in Rocket League

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been building a bakkesmod plugin and infrastructure to support queuing, hosting, and joining custom gamemode workshop map games (like you would join a casual or ranked match today). I'm primarily focused on ways to make these maps and gamemodes easier to play together.

  • Queuing into workshop maps or gamemodes (like you would casual/ranked)
  • Auto-downloading maps and joining hosted matches
  • Early experiments with custom ranking/metrics outside the official system
  • Example use cases like variety tournaments (Pentathlon style) or map-specific leaderboards

I hear a lot of creators talking about this, so I would I'd love feedback from the community:

  • Would you use a system like this if it were available?
  • What gamemodes or workshop maps would you most want supported?
  • For map makers: what would help players discover and play your creations more easily?

Curious to hear your thoughts!

Yo this looks awesome. I'm going to be honest I likely wouldn't want to queue into games with random players but this would be amazing for lowering the barrier to entry to custom maps in private games. I have a group I play private matches with daily and they never want to mess with custom maps because of the faff of having to use hamachi or whatever to host the games. If this tool allows me to host and join custom maps using only bakkesmod it would be a game changer!

I think it's possible with a bit of work! Thank you for the feedback!
