BUG - gamemap crash when using bad mapname

[XtremeBain]

There's a bug using gamemap from console or rcon.  IT doesn't check if a map exists before trying to load it.  As result it crashes the server.  the map command works normal, however.

Code: [Select]

gamemap asdfs
------- Server Initialization -------
********************
ERROR: Couldn't load maps/asdfs.bsp

That's why you should use newmap instead.

I'll throw it on the todo list.

Make newmap a rcon command then

I think I did for the next version.  It's an sv command, though, so you'd have to do:
rcon sv newmap <mapname> <game mode>

Just curious will this help me load maps on my own via rcon?

If typing "rcon sv newmap" appeals more to you than typing "rcon gamemap", then I guess so.  Otherwise it's pretty much the same thing.  It's best to just use "newmap" with a login, though, rather than trying to use rcon.  Rcon has little protection for this type of thing (as is pointed out by the very existance of this thread).
