Hey all, just a quick question for you gurus. I know how to launch my mod from a shortcut, i.e.: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\natural selection 2\NS2.exe" -game modname

This works, but I also want to load a specific map.

I have tried adding:
+map mymap
-map mymap
map mymap

after "-game modname"

But none of these seem to work correctly. How can I get my mod to immediately load up a specified map?

Thanks!

    -map is the command for a dedicated server. If you are running it as a listen server, you can't launch direct to create a server from desktop, you need to run the menu's and select first.

    This broke when they added the main menu loading screen.
