Gametype keeps defaulting to S&D on server...???

[KeyserSoze]

Gidday
I hav emade up configs for every type of game. Before I execute a config I change the game type to the one I want thru rcon then I exec the config and it loads hte new game type. It plays the map then revers to S&D gametype. Also this happens if someone calls a vote and the gametype changes. It plays the new gameype for 1 map then reverts to S&D - the configs I am using are all the same except for settings to particular gametypes - but here is an example...

// Passwords
set rconPassword "xxx"
set g_password ""
set sv_privatePassword "xxx"

What does your shortcut to codMP.exe look like?

Have you tried to shutdown and restart the server?
Are you running any custom server sided mods?

You should set sv_maprotationcurrent to the empty string in your config. Also, the rotation doesn't really start until you enter map_rotate. You can start a map using map <mapname>, but once that map completes, whatever is currently in sv_maprotationcurrent will be used for the next map.

In addition, make sure that for every map in sv_maprotation, you define it as gametype <type> map <mapname>, especially if you allow callvote on your server. For example, if you were to setup sv_maprotation as "gametype tdm map mp_brecourt mp_pavlov" and then during mp_brecourt someone calls a vote to change map and gametype to mp_ship/BEL, when mp_ship completes it will run mp_pavlov as BEL. When you start the rotation, it set gametype to tdm and starts mp_brecourt, leaving sv_maprotationcurrent with only "mp_pavlov". Since you didn't specify a gametype, it will use whatever the game is currently running. Hence it's always important to define each map with appropriate gametype.

Mine does the same thing and that set sv_maprotationcurrent "" doesnt seem to do any good.

"C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDMP.exe" +set dedicated 2 +exec xxx.cfg +map_rotate

No server mods, yep tried restarting and stoping - still no dice :(
