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. Currently, the map list supports only one pwad at a time. More special functionality for inputting and saving/loading the map list is under development.

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.

clearmaplist

Usage: clearmaplist

Clears the map list. WARNING: No request for confirmation. Use at your own risk!

curmap

Usage: nextmap A read-only cvar for servers that checks the map number. Useful for if statements.

forcenextmap

Usage: forcenextmap

Progresses to the next map in the current map list. Similar to nextmap, only progresses quickly (without intermission).

maplist

Usage: maplist

Displays the entire map list in the console.

nextmap

Usage: nextmap

Progresses to the next map in the current map list. Similar to forcenextmap, only progresses naturally (with intermission).
