One of the key features in Odamex is a dynamic maplisting functionality to create dynamic servers. Each entry in the map list currently contains a map name (such as E1M1 and MAP01) and a PWAD file. More special functionality for inputting and saving/loading the map list is under development.
Contents
addmap
Usage: addmap (map name) [...]
Adds a map to the map list, any following arguments are passed to the wad console command.
Note: You do not need to keep specifying the wad after its loaded for each subsequent addmap command, doing this will cause the server to reconnect any clients when the map changes, thus any clients which reconnect will have their "state" (weapons, ammo, points) reset.
example:
addmap map00 doom2.wad duel2015.wad <--iwad followed by pwad first
addmap map01 <--maplist
addmap map00
addmap map02
addmap map00
addmap map03
addmap map00
- map00 is the lobby map of duel2015.wad, so after any map is played, you will be returned there

Other Useful Map Related Commands/CVARs
emptyfreeze
Usage: emptyfreeze (0-1)
When enabled, the server will become "frozen" and not process any game tics until a player joins the server. NOTE: This feature is experimental and maps will not progress while the server is frozen.
emptyreset
Usage: emptyreset (0-1)
When enabled, this cvar will reload the map if all clients disconnect. This is ideal for frag-limited 1-on-1 servers where games may go unfinished.
loopepisode
Usage: loopepisode (0-1)
A cvar used for cooperative games played on (Ultimate)Doom. If enabled, the server will return to ExM1 after completing ExM8.
