If you intend for this space to be blank, open up '<mapname>.txt', enter a single space and save the file.
Note.pngNote:
  • The #SFUI_Rules_<gamemode>_Loading mentioned in the table is actually a language and game mode specific string which is looked up from the text file csgo/resource/csgo_<language>.txt. On the screenshot on the right it is the string "Buy new weapons [...] Best out of 15 rounds".
  • The text "Bomb Scenario Mission" is game mode specific and generated from the map prefix "de_". Maps with "cs_" instead generate "Hostage Scenario Mission" and all other map names deliver "Elimination Mission", no matter the actual scenario!
  • The key word COMMUNITYMAPCREDITS: or RULESHERE must be the first word of the text file to deliver the above result!
