Well, forst of all, do want this in rotation, if so, go to this thread
http://www.mohadmin.com/nuke/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=98

If you are just wanting to switch in-game, then just open the console then put in your rconpassword, then type:
rcon g_gametype "1"
it will then say "gametype will switch upon restarting" or something to that effect. So you want it to take effect immiedetly, all you do is open the console and type:
rcon map dm/mohdm6

That is to switch to FFA

For OBJ do this
rcon g_gametype "4"
it will then say "gametype will switch upon restarting" or something to that effect. So you want it to take effect immiedetly, all you do is open the console and type:
rcon map obj/obj_team3

And thats how you do it manually.

Hope this helps ya out.

If you download the mixmaps mod, you will need to edit it to use FFA instead of TDM. The mod is a pk3 file, which is just a zip file that has been renamed to end in pk3.

To change it, just unzip the file, go into the maps\DM directory and edit each of the scripts (*.scr is a text file). In the first few lines of each script, you'll see where the g_gametype variable is set. Change it to whatever you want and then zip the whole thing back up (ie right click on the maps directory and use winzip to compress it, then rename it to end with pk3).

Stick the resulting file in your server's MOHAA\main directory and you're done.

So if I decide to make it TDM to obj back to TDM i just put this file in the mohaa/main folder? thats it?

[CrowKing]

yeah, pretty much, as long as the map is supported by the mod (check the readme that comes with it for a list of maps). Note that dm maps will ALWAYS be TDM while the mod is on the server - the map script itself is setting the gametype, which makes it a bit hard to change in game.

Well, I downloaded the file from this link: http://www.mohadmin.com/nuke/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=98

And I have a few problems, when it changes from tdm to an obj map, after the first round everyone gets tossed into spec, and has to chose teams again ???, and if it goes from a tdm to omahaa, the map plays for the set timelimit even if the cannons are destroyed, so its like a big tdm with two cannons that you can destroy, am I doning somthing wrong here, or is this normal?

[CrowKing]

The kick into spec is normal. The Omaha thing is not. Send me the copy of pk3 you have and I'll take a look at it. Email is crowking@comcast.net.
