Random Map Cycle?

[razorace]

Hi guys,

Is there any way to set up a server script to randomly select a map from a selection of given maps? Currently my server uses a static vstr setup and I'd like to set it up so that we can have a run of siege games, hop into a randomly picked non-siege game, and then hop back to the siege cycle. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I don't know of a way to make that automatically happen, but I do know of a way to make it happen manually. Here is the code from my server.cfg for map rotation and changing. Admins can change to maps using the vstr (/amvstr for Reloaded) without disrupting the regular map rotation. I cut it down a bit as I have a lot more entries than this including custom maps, but you get the idea. If an admin wants to change to hoth siege, all they need to do is log in as an admin and type "/amvstr s_hoth" to set up the server for siege mode with custom settings, change the map to siege_hoth, and set the next map back to a map alias in the regular rotation.

What would be awesome is to have custom map voting for non-admins so that you could vote for maps and their settings based on these aliases and not break a custom rotation, but that would take a mod.
