going to describe happens on all mods I run. Not sure if this is a known bug or
not but if I have a mod running on the server and my map rotation is anything
other than the stock game types that come with the game then the server wont
play that game type until the command set g_gametype "ctf" is run and
a new map starts.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
