[bf1942] rcon command for changing maps in bf2

[David Stevens]

You need to add the map, then list the maps, then set the map as the next
level, then runnextlevel..  quite a PITA.

I guess I'm blind too -- Where can you tell it to just switch to a diff map?
I guess you can mapList.Currentmap & parse that in, mapList.insert the new
map after that one, and somehow have it magicly remove the map after running
it...

But the question here was how to change to a specific map via rcon..There
isn't a way, really. I'd like to see what we're all missing, really..

I'm not rude, I just don't understund why people say something what is not
a true. When they don't seems to know nothing about thing what they are
talking. Better to be quiet then.

  setting.

  - Entering 'round' means the ban is active until the next map.
  - A whole number preceded by a colon (i.e. :1234567), meaning the
    epoch expiration time of the ban (number of seconds since 1 Jan 1970).
