Hey guys I did my fair share of googling and what not and I couldn't find an answer. I hired a server recently, I can add addons, maps etc etc through FileZilla. I also added in a game mode in to the servers game mode file, but in game I'm not sure where to go from there.
I typed into console "map <mapname> gamemode <gamemode>" from a post I found here on FP, it went into console with no problem but then nothing happened? Am I meant to load the map first, then do some voodoo magic to turn on the game mode?
Sorry but I'm a giant noob at these sort of things!
Thanks in advance.

map is for server starting. changelevel is for changing the map.
and it's sv_gamemode and sv_gamemodeoverride
Also, you need to enter them separately and remember to change the gamemode first or nothing will happen
i.e
sv_gamemode sandbox
sv_gamemodeoverride sandbox
changelevel gm_construst
okay so I started in gm_construct, then typed in:
rcon sv_gamemode last_stand09 (thats the file name in my 'gamemode' file)
rcon sv_gamemodeoverride last_stand09
rcon changelevel rd_farm
It loaded up and now I'm standing around... and nothing is happening :P
There isn't any pop up window or anything like that.
Put the commands sv_gamemode and sv_gamemodeoverride in autoexec.cfg, and start the server.
If that doesn't work, use sv_defaultgamemode - I only use this, not sv_gamemode
