Is it possible using /rcon to call up a custom map even if it is not listed in server rotation? (map files in usermaps/mods folders)

if you want to play same gametype as previous map

map <mapname>

if you want to change gametype

g_gametype <gametype> map <mapname>

So, does that mean I do not have to have the mapname typed into server rotation in order to call it up for play? Thanks

no..you do[/b] need the map to be on the server and is best if it is also on the redirect

Thanks guys - I found that mapnames need not be in server rotation to be called up. I can /rcon command any map I have loaded in usermaps/mods folders. This will keep all the large maps out of rotation for when there are not that many players in the game. Myself and other admins can load a map at will when we have sufficient players. Thanks again all for your help as always...
