howto override Game-Modes?

[ZyanKLee]

Hey,

I noticed that some maps change the game mode through their mapcfg. Is there a possibility to disallow that or at least to switch it back, when the next map is loaded? Something like

set "g_gamemode_override" "none"

Code: Select all

$ grep -R g_minstagib *.mapcfg
dm_evilminsta.mapcfg:set g_minstagib 1
dm_minstarena.mapcfg:set g_minstagib 1

$ grep -R g_rocketarena *.mapcfg
dm_suicidebooth-0.1.mapcfg:g_rocketarena 1

this is not a problem if all mapcfgs explicitly set theyr gamemode, wich is the easier solution.

which is not the case in MOST maps, afaik

I've used exit cfgs for that (see Docs/mapping.txt).

IF I would insert a line like this to server.cfg:

set "exit_cfg" "std-exit.cfg"

would it be executed at every map-exit? Or does it ONLY work in the mapcfg ?

It gets executed once but after the map changed exit_cfg is reset to "empty.cfg". So having a data/empty.cfg works.

Sounds great thanks

EDIT: and it works like a charm
