The map manager lists maps and manages gamemode and gamemode map loading.
#REDIRECT [[Map_manager]]
 
==Usage==
You have to tag the '''gamemode resource''' with the correct type in its info tag:
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"><info description="A gamemode" type="gamemode" /></syntaxhighlight>
 
'''Map resources''' also need the ''type="map"'' tag, plus a ''gamemodes'' tag listing the gamemode resources they're compatible with in a comma-separated list ''without spaces''.
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"><info description="A gamemode map" type="map" gamemodes="ctv,koth" /></syntaxhighlight>
 
There can be only one gamemode and one gamemode map loaded at once.
 
==Commands==
'''changemap newmap [newgamemode]'''
 
'''gamemode newgamemode [newmap]'''
 
==Exported functions==
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">bool changeGamemode ( resource newGamemode, [ resource mapToLoadWith ] )</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">bool changeGamemodeMap ( resource newMap, [ resource gamemodeToChangeTo ] )</syntaxhighlight>
Changes the GM map to a new one, optionally specifying a gamemode to change to before loading it (will load with the current gamemode by default).
