Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/1577

Would be great to have it so that LGSM can pick a random map to start with from the map cycle of a gamemode, instead of starting on one map all the time.

LGSM is not responsible for game features. If you don't even provide the game name you won't get a solid answer...

@MarkL4YG Apologies, this is for CS:GO. The map is stored in the configuration file already (defaultmap="de_mirage") and is sent to the server via a flag.

By virtue of Valve's Developer Network, it appears that the majority of Source games store their map list in mapcycle.txt, so a suggested feature addition would be something along the lines of:

An extra configuration value, map_cycle_file, which contains where this mapcycle.txt is.
On server start, if map_cycle_file is defined (or some other option enabled), run map_choice='sort -R ${map_cycle_file} | head -n '.
Use the newly declared variable as the map start parameter.

Have you tried normal solutions to enable map rotation like this ?

Aye, I use mapchooser-extended, which gives me random maps during the game. However it does not alter the first map choosen.

Since I run a crappy server that crashes every few hours, it means that we play our default map significantly more than expected :).

At the moment I feel I'm just butchering LGSM with my implementation, but I've already got this system working locally.

If you've got a generalized working solution feel free to suggest it using PRs

@MarkL4YG Completely butchered, I literally just replace the defaultmap value with the cycle list command above.

If I was to do it properly and add an option to enable/disable it, would it have a chance at being accepted?
