Map Load

[A-Dog]

Hey I'm making a server for my clan and they want t custom map to load on startup (for instance if nobody is in the server and when u come on it the default map is a random custom one) How do you achieve this? Do you make a custom directory? How?? Thanks!! :)

Add --loadmap=your_mapname into your .bat, .sh or launcher (I have no idea how you do this on a Mac), eg.

Code:

bin_win32\ac_client.exe --loadmap=ac_awesometastic --init %1 %2 %3 %4 %5

Use a simple text editor to edit the file.
edit: oh, wait, I just read "...for instance if nobody is in the server...". My solution loads that map when you start the game. The only way to get a specific map to load in a server is if you control the maprot file for that server, and you set it as the only map that supports 1 player.

I know, but how? I can't figure the code out...

Open AC/config/maprot.cfg and read the lines starting with //
