Is it possible to change the current map in a dedicated server?
I tried with the vanilla server and with the overmind mod but the server isn't responding to map command. I can activate cheats, restart round, etc but cant change the current map. Is the server lacking this feature?

    It's not implemented yet at this point, at least last time I checked it wasn't. There exists a "map" console-command, but it's for the benefit of the client, and it's used to launch a listen-server running that particular map.

    Funny thing is that this is exactly how "map" works in HL1/2 and people don't get it, so everyone gets a "server shutting down" disconnect when they want to change the map. The appropriate command is changelevel.

    There's no way to change the map right now. It kind of embarrasses me, but I haven't gotten around to making that work yet.

    For a time I was using overmind, and supplying a custom errorlevel to the om_killserver command, which would just copy over the xml file with the map i wanted to change to. It did require the server to restart though, so people have to reconnect.

    If the map changed it would be cool cause maybe it wpould fix some bugs that happen to servers over time, it would be like a server restart that happened more often
