Heyyo,

Do you mean a map cycle? rtfm dude, it's there. :p

from the HaloPC DS Server Readme
To setup map cycling, you need to create a game entries map cycling list (a game entry is a map name and a game type). To do so, simply use the sv_mapcycle_add command in the init.txt file.

For example, to have the following maps and game types cycle:
• Timberland CTF
• Danger Canyon Assault
• Gephyrophobia Slayer
• Blood Gulch Crazy King

Add the following lines to the init.txt file:

sv_mapcycle_add timberland CTF
sv_mapcycle_add dangercanyon assault
sv_mapcycle_add gephyrophobia slayer
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "crazy king"

Then, to start the dedicated server, use the following command: sv_mapcycle_begin.

Every time you launch haloded.exe, it will look for init.txt for initialization (unless you specify a different file using –exec. See below for more details on –exec).

For the previous example, the final init.txt file would look like this:

sv_name Halo_DS
sv_public 1
sv_maxplayers 12
sv_password halo
sv_mapcycle_timeout 15
sv_mapcycle_add timberland CTF
sv_mapcycle_add dangercanyon assault
sv_mapcycle_add gephyrophobia slayer
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "crazy king"
sv_mapcycle_begin

The default game types available are the following:

oddball
slayer
juggernaut
king
crazy king
race
ctf
assault
team slayer
team oddball
team race


so yeah, next time? rtfm ;)

Heyyo,

go to http://www.muffmeister.co.uk/ and go into other downloads, and get the int builder, it makes it easier. ;)
