// Call first map on server start-up
vstr s_brecourt


// vstr map names and rotation
Now all they have to do to call a map is:

/rcon vstr

where is one of the following:
s_ (search and destroy)
r_ (retrieve)
t_ (team death match)
d_ (death match)
b_ (behind enemy lines)

and is one of the following:
brecourt
carentan
chateau (does nothing when attempted to be used with s_ prefix)
dawn (for dawnville)
depot
harbor
hurtgen
pavlov
pow (for powcamp)
rail (for railyard)
rocket
ship (does nothing when attempted to be used with s_ prefix)


Example:
/rcon vstr r_rocket
would call up the mp_rocket map with the retrieve game-type, as well make sure that ship and chateau were back in rotation.

Sorry if some of the explination is obvious after looking at the config, but sometimes more explination is better than less.

wow.... you dug this up from the old-timers archive! LOL

I actually made that before anyone understood the interaction of sv_maprotation and sv_maprotationcurrent.

Needs to be updated to automatically set sv_maprotationcurrent to "" and add all the new maps.

does this still work for COD4?? I am having a hell of a time trying to change my game mode from team deathmatch. Any Ideas?
