I tried a search on this but no joy.
A group of us alternate being the 'server' but the only way we can change maps while playing is for the 'server' guy to initiate a vote to change maps.
Is there a simple way to establish a rotation of a group of maps without having to do compicated scripting/programming??
Thanks,
Tomaz

server map rotation and other information is controlled via a cfg (config) file that is only a little bit tedious to set up - but after that it is trouble free

this is an example of a cfg file

I dont want to make new topic.

I want to run server from my computer. I want to play cod2 with friends from school. So we agreed that i make server. But how can I do that???

Run a server (create new server menu), make sure it's set to "internet" and not local or lan or something.. your friends should then be able to connect by typing

/connect [your ip adress]

in their consoles.

That's the basics.. it might change a bit if you're behind a router and firewalls may cause some strange effects too... but we'll get to that if this doesn't work.
