I'm for this.. but... how about we just make some simple menu options.. you know.. like T2 had even..?

Admin ability to just *click* change map > *click* CTF > *click* katabatic = everyone playing katabatic!!!!! :shock:

Current procedure to change a map on custom server:

First choose a map (choice possible in console only), for example
/sc map next 1456
to set next map to Arx Novena - this step requires knowledge of map number :ugeek:

then
/sc map end
to force stalemate, wait a minute (40 seconds countdown + map load)

then another warmup timer,
/sc map start
to finally start playing on the next map.

Edit - ok, here's a script, kind of menu in console :twisted:
