Changing the map name from "San Andreas" to your own map name. - Las Venturas CNR - 17.08.2010

Every now and then people who host servers from their house/ their PC ask me this question,
so for future people, here's how.

Way 1:

Open server.cfg and make a new line, and on that line type "mapname" then space, then your new map name.
Reload your server, and "San Andreas" will be replaced with your new text/ mapname.

Way 2:
Under "OnGameModeInIt" call back, add

pawn Code:

SendRconCommand("mapname My_Server");

and simply replace "My_Server" with your new map name.

Thanks for taking your time to read this noob tutorial, lol.

Not too shabby, alot of people don't even know this exists.

You could also use a simple function I made, it does the exact same thing, but this is a bit "shorter", and looks better.

pawn Code:

forward SetMapName(mapName[]);

public SetMapName(mapName[])
{
    new string[30];
    format(string, sizeof(string), "mapname %s", mapName);
    SendRconCommand(string);
    return 1;
}

USAGE: SetMapName("Sky's World"); //would set the mapname to Sky's World

You could also just add mapname to the server.cfg.
