Map manager/Implementation

The map manager lists maps and manages gamemode and gamemode map loading.

Usage

You have to tag the gamemode resource with the correct type in its info tag:

<info description="A gamemode" type="gamemode" />

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.

<info description="A gamemode map" type="map" gamemodes="ctv,koth" />

There can be only one gamemode and one gamemode map loaded at once.

Commands

changemap newmap [newgamemode]

gamemode newgamemode [newmap]
