Generally speaking:
<br>All objective maps run from the maps/obj/ directory, deathmatch and
ffa maps in the maps/dm/ directory
<p>To load a specific map:
<br>You will have to open *.pk3 files and look to see what the '.bsp' filename
is for the map you want to load.
<br>For example, the Omaha objective map filename is 'obj_team3.bsp'
<p>Console or script map references dispense with .bsp filename extension
and the maps/ directory specification
<br>Thus, the map reference for 'omaha' will be :
<br><tt>map obj/obj_team3</tt>
<br>
<p><tt>'The Hunt' is obj/team1</tt>
<br><tt>'V2' is obj/obj_team2</tt>
<br><tt>'Omaha' is obj/obj_team3</tt>
<br><tt>'Bridge' obj/obj_team4</tt>
<br><tt>'Southern France' is dm/mohdm1</tt>
<br><tt>'Destroyed Village' is dm/mohdm2</tt>
<br><tt>'Remagen' is dm/mohdm3</tt>
<br><tt>'The Bridge' is dm/mohdm4</tt>
<br><tt>'Snowy Park' is dm/mohdm5</tt>
<br><tt>'Stalingrad' dm/mohdm6</tt>
<br><tt>'Algiers' is dm/mohdm7</tt>
<br>
<p>For a custom TDM map like 'The Farm', the bsp filename is 'thefarm.bsp'
in the maps/dm/ directory
<br>Thus, the map reference will be:
<br><tt>map dm/thefarm</tt>
<p>Now, apparently MOHAA expects the g_gametype cvar to be set prior to
loading the map. The current gametypes are
<br>1 -- FFA (Free For All)
<br>2 -- TDM (Team Death match)
<br>4 -- OBJ (Objective mode)
<br>If you try loading a map for a mode it does not support, it will tell
you so.
<p>If you want to mix gametypes, your going to have to be creative, or
download 'Crow Kings' mixed modes mod. I recommend Crow Kings Mod,
but if your feeling creative here's the scoop:
<p>The basic principle is fairly simple. If you want to go from,
lets say Stalingrad (dm/mohdm6) a TDM map , to V2 Rocket (obj/obj_team2),
extract the script files ([mapname].scr) for the maps from the *.pk3 files
(i.e., dm/mohdm6.scr and obj/obj_team2.scr), open them in a text editor
and add
<br><tt>setcvar "g_gametype" "2" // for TDM mode</tt>
<br>or
<br><tt>setcvar "g_gametype" "4" // for OBJ mode</tt>
<br>immediately after the main: reference as in:
<p><tt>main:</tt><tt></tt>
<p><tt>setcvar "g_gametype" "2" //TDM</tt>
<p>Then set enter the following from your console or via a *.cfg script
<p><tt>sv_maplist "dm/mohdm6 obj/obj_team2"</tt>
<br><tt>map obj/obj_team2</tt>
<p>For those custom maps without *.scr files, you can simply load the map
following a map that has the appropriate g_gametype setting, in otherwords
load a custom TDM map following another TDM map where the g_gametype was
set.
