Launching Maps from console and for server admins
Hello, if you wish to run a dedicated server or launch a map from the console you'll need to do so in a new way now. We've combined all game modes into a single map file now so you'll need to specify which game you want to play on a map. This is done by appending the game mode to the map command. Here are the available game modes:

Deathmatch - "dm"
King of the Hill - "koth"
Capture Point - "cp"
Objective - "obj" (only supported on ddd_canyon, ddd_depot, and ddd_troina)
Survival - "sur"

With this in mind, you would type "map ddd_market dm" in the console if you wanted to load Market in Deathmatch mode. In the same way, if you were a server admin and wanted to add this to your mapcycle.txt you would simply put "ddd_market dm". This also works if you are trying to load a map from a batch file. Your batch file command might look like this:

srcds.exe -game dinodday +map "ddd_market dm"

It's a bit of a curveball for server admins, I know! But combining game modes into a single map file cut out a HUGE amount of overhead for us.

This way of launching maps completely breaks any map choosing plugin for SourceMod so I have to have a rather convoluted mapcycle list to make it feel like my server's mapcycle is random-ish. Is there any way to make sourcemod map chooser plugins to work with this format?

It also doesn't really work with the batch file's "set startmap=" argument.

I don't know if I should be posting this on here, because this is an old thread, but I don't know if starting a new one for this would be right either.
