Changing the gametype on-the-fly
« on: August 01, 2006, 08:08:25 am »
Is it possible to change the gametype automatically between maps? e.g. if I have a DM map playing, can the server switch it to CTF and switch to the CTF gametype automatically? Or can gametypes only be switched manually?

gamemode can not be changed automatically when changing maps, you can only do it by editing soldat.ini or using the /gamemode command (/gamemode 3 for ctf)

Ow, that kind of sucks.

 :(

You'd think there would be a way for mappers to embed the gametype in their map, and have the server automatically parse that gametype on mapload.

Thanks a bunch!

that would indeed be a great feature, but I dont think MM is going to change the map structure

Or perhaps even have the ability to set the gamestyle in the maplist.ini -

something like

Rok=gametype2

or something of the sort.
