Thanks for that!  I was beginning to wonder how anyone was changing maps on
servers...  8-)

I have realised that if you are on a ctf map and you request an arena map
(with or without the g_game switch), the server will create the arena map
that is requested, but will keep the style of play - giving you an arena map
in ctf mode..  which is frustrating and ultimately pointless...

I have since realised that there is also a <nextmap> switch too!  SO - if
you run into the problem of screwed map/play incompatability, you can
request the <nextmap> option, and then setup the arena again once the new
map is ready..  I hope this makes sense..

Cheers -
