I think it's a long shot since the maps are randomly chosen


Maybe available map list written in some *.ini file (UserMP.ini ?)


Okay, I have tried to see if I can access the maps. Firstly, I had problems when I copy-pasted the files into my MP folder. It crashed the multiplayer entirely. I realised that this happens when I can't copy and paste any maps but the .bsm and the .int files. So I guess unless you're using a non-English version of the game, it just won't work. If your maps are just .bsm and .int it won't accept any other maps and results to paste translated environments will result in the game crashing.

Also any attempts to overwrite the original shaderscaches and startupshaderscaches will result in the game's crash. It however, works if you make a second copy of the shaderscaches (IE: shadercache (2)) in the appropriate folders.

Then just put keybind the map (IE: Open DE_Ghetto) in the UserMP ini in the Bioshock 2 Roaming folder. Unfortunately, you can only access these maps in Private Matches (same process as Minerva's Den, enter one of the default maps and press the keybinds). Have yet to experiment this in Public Matches since getting everyone to actually play Multiplayer is kind of hard (and that I keep getting disconnected trying to get into a match). Will see how it goes.

Yes, many files from DLC have some names as files from original MP folder.
I just renamed some DLC files and i can open all 6 maps wiyh textures and sounds.
But i can't do anything. Game is waiting when other players will connect to the match.
I binded command to UserMP.ini:

F5=start DE_Freezers.bsm
F6=start DE_Subbay.bsm
F7=start DE_Tavern.bsm
F8=start DE_Gallery.bsm
F9=start DE_RedLightAlley.bsm
F10=start DE_Ghetto.bsm

My renamed files in MP folder after rename:

MP\Content\BulkContent\

DLC_Catalog.bdc
DLCBulkFileTextures.blk

MP\Content\CompiledShaders\pc\

DLC_ShaderCache.pcs
DLC_startupshadercache.pcs

MP\Content\CompiledShaders\pc10\

DLC_ShaderCache.pcs10
DLC_startupshadercache.pcs10

-- Edit --

First loading of maps was very long and in profile folder (where UserMP.ini) game created files:

LocalDE_gallery.pcs
LocalDE_Tavern.pcs
LocalDE_Freezers.pcs
LocalDE_RedLightAlley.pcs
LocalDE_subbay.pcs
LocalDE_Ghetto.pcs

Next time loading of maps was quick.

I think the main problem is to learn a console commands to start multiplayer matches.
I don't know how but i'm accurately know that this are not UE commands.
This commands perhaps know only developers.

Of course starting non-private matches by this way will not be easy, but i thinks it's possibly

Sorry my bad with the last one, I meant that the maps has to be language specific. So if you have the English version, you can only use the English version of the map, if you copy and paste the other files would just crash it.

Maybe. I don't know about this. So, sorry me :)

And what do you think about multiplayer console commands ? It's possibly to find them somewhere ?

No, if you'll use a method wrote above in this topic.
It's simple to edit config file and use hex editor for saves (if you need them, because campaign is short (only 3 maps)).

Minerva's Den Files:
http://narod.ru/disk/61327145001.6496a9d20829037a261508bd75cfbb0f/Minervas%20Den%20DLC.rar.html

Yes because it is doubtful that Bioshock 2 will be updated to use the Steam API to enable/enforce the DLC. This will probably just be a GFWL key which Steam will sell as with most other GFWL games which have DLC.

If anyone's interested:
You can preserve the dates and names with a slight modification of ahab's method. You should overwrite/select the part after the date to "m.a.i.n.S.a.v.e...b.s.g"

Seems like Bioshock 2 now has GFWL removed and Minerva's Den added, 3.3GB update.
