CSS SERVER starts De_Dust everytime, Help!

I can't seem to get the server to start on any other map than De_Dust.

I've modified maplist.cfg and mapcycle.cfg in the css\cstrike\ folder to contain everything but De_Dust and yet it still loads.

I even added " mapcyclefile 1 " to my server.cfg and still my server starts with De_Dust.

Can I get a Heads up on what I need to do.
should I add a "changelevel de_rats" to my server.cfg file?

Cheers in advance

Same problem here? I guess no one has a constructive answer?

might have something to do with it

well if ur running it with the -console switch, just add the switch +map cs_office

there are 2 types a css dedserver, 1u can just start from the play games steam menu and the other is a stand alone server which dosent need steam to run.

the css dedicated server which runs from the play games steam menu has problems with mapcycle and server settings in the server.cfg. i think ure are using this 1?

most ded servers on line are the stand alone version which is installed using the hlupdatetool which is a little tricky to set up but if u read the faq on hlupdatetool u will figure it out.
the mapcycle and server.cfg work fine with this version.
its worth the effort to set it up

Thanks, Running it via the console, so I'll just change the command syntax. Not a very cool way of doing things if you change map cycles often.

thanks for the reply

Do you have de_dust (or any other mapname) lister in your server.cfg file, if so that is telling it so load that map on every map change
