Rotating map in game without booting everyone out

[SOBS]

Is there a admin console command for openning a map without kicking everyone off the server? :?:
I know open (what ever map you want) works but kicks everyone.

Kind of bites RC did not put a kick/ban for the 2k4 build 2666 engine.

I don't know what you mean with the "Rotating map in game" but there already is a kick-topic here:

switchlevel will open a new map as well, but I though both worked. If its a mod map make sure everyone has it, and its the same one.

[RC-1266]

switchlevel will open the next map in line? or do you have to type the name of the map as well?

[Sandcrawler]

You need the name of the map I think, but I've never tried to see if it rotates to the next in the list

open levelname
kicks everyone but loads faster

switchlevel levelname
doesnt kick but generally takes a longer tim to load the map

I don't see any reason for a difference in loading time except that maybe the server has to wait for all he players when switchlevel is used :?

hmmm i started a server with no kill limit today, and when i wanted to switch to lockdown i typed "switchlevel dm_lockdown"
we still were at engine, though all the scores were set to 0 except mine.
everyone called me a cheater  :wink:
EDIT: and o yeah, people were also pissed because when they made kills their scores kept being 0
