Map (console command)
The map console command loads the specified map and starts a game on it.
Warning:For multiplayer games, this command will kick everyone from your server before changing the map, or does a hard change, so to speak. If you want to soft change your map from console use the changelevel command.Usage
map mapname <gamemode> (omit the .bsp extension)
Example: map de_dust2 deathmatch
The optional gamemode parameter can be deathmatch, casual, competitive, armsrace, coopstrike ... which will adjust the game_type and game_mode values to the desired game mode (before loading the map). If there is no gamemode parameter given, the game will not change these values so that it results in the last game mode played, or, if the game has just been launched, it will be casual.
Can access both maps in mounted VPKs and in the maps\ folder. Maps that are in a subdirectory of maps\ need to have the folder name included in the console command.
