    PROBLEM: When there is a KAG update all my maplists return to default.

    QUESTION: I know the above is meant to happen. But is there a way to stop this from happening, or some way to automatically have my servers restore their custom maplists?

    I guess the only thing that you can do is that you make a backup mapcycle.cfg as soon as you change it. I know, it's a bit of a hastle but that way you can just replace the new one when there was an update.

    dask, you can always store the mapcycle.cfg (a backup maybe) in the mods folder and it won't be touched or you could make it as a "tiny mod" so that it will never be affected by updates.

    It won't get touched if he just makes a second one (with a different file name obviously) in the rules folder where he has the gamemode he's using.

    SOLUTION: create a new mapcycle file that isnt named mapcycle somewhere in Base/Maps/ then in your autoconfig, just make sure you set sv_mapcycle to the directory of the mapcycle file

    OR (get this) add the file to autoupdate_ignore_custom.cfg

    Wow. A nice range of answers ::D:

    Thanks a lot for your help everyone. I think I will try to get the update to ignore the maplist!
