So I know this is rare, but I just updated my map while it was running on a live server for the first time. The error it gives when you try to join is 'mod out of date'. Perfectly understandable.
Why not have the server, upon receiving this info from the client, check for active players and if 0 change to next map in cycle? This will fix map and mod updates as the server will have to remount the mods.
I'm not sure how to fix a server with players currently on it, as until it changes map no one can join. Right now I'm seeing odd issue of 3 servers all with my map in mod list. One on the map gives error, expectedly. One with people on it but different map gives error, unexpectedly. Last server is on different map and empty and I can join.
Thanks for your help.
Edit: able to reproduce results 4/1, can't join server on different map with current players after workshop update. I should stop breaking it but I had an error in occlusion.
