I can host games and people join them.. but i need to know how to change settings after a game ends....like, after a team wins on Hang em' High and it goes to the screen where it says "enter to continue or escape to exit" how do i change the map/settings without exiting the whole thing?
I see it done all the time...but i don't know how to do it!
please help me!

I'm there but, man this is really starting to sound like communism.
Long live the MAW.

you'll need to set a map cycle/scedule? one of the -Console commands i believe can do this.

Don't drink to excess– You might shoot at tax-collectors... and miss

Computer: Power Mac G5 CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (2.2) Number Of CPUs: 2 CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 1.25 GB Bus Speed: 900 MHz

Many of the servers you might play on are dedicated servers, which are set up differently than your computer when you host at home.

On a dedicated server, none of the players in the game plays from the server– they all connect to the server from their own computers. The server is usually owned by a company that rents servers to groups or individuals.

When a dedicated server is set up it usually has a map rotation set up by the person or persons who rent the server. I think there is a special program to set up the rotation and the various preferences.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can switch maps and preferences without losing the connection with the other players unless you set up a dedicated server.

Check here for info on setting up a dedicated server.

Oh, and welcome to the Maw.
