ok, here's the READme file that helped me, but how do i apply it to my rotation?............................................

You can create custom game types (using the full retail version of Halo) and include these game types on your server rotation. This would enable you, for example, to include a Rockets only game on your server rotation. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the full retail version of Halo.
• Under Multiplayer, choose Edit Game Types.
• Create a new game type (refer to the Halo documentation if you need help to do this).
• Save your new game type.
• Quit Halo.
• Open your Halo save games folder (by default, this would be “My Documents\My Games\Halo\savegames”).
• You will see the name of the custom game type you created as a folder directory.
• Make sure this folder is available on your server (in the same location on disk).
• Use the name of your custom game type in your mapcycle.txt file.

Ok, so my custom file is called "pistols no sheilds" , how do i appy that to a map cycle and where does it go ??? I need an example pls.

Heyyo,

Read a dedicated server manual. RTM. There's a stickey thread called "read before posting" and it has ones with examples.

The short answer would be:

sv_mapcycle_add "bloodgulch" "whatever gametype"

...where "whatever gametype" is what you called the gametype, like "snipers no shields" for example.
Note: if your word for the gametype or map has a space in it, use " " 's. I use them anyway just in case. For example:

sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch ctf
- OK
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "crazy king"
- OK
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch team oddball
- Not OK.
