Hi,
if you want to start the Insurgency server with a specific gamemode, you have to pass this in startup parameters:

+map "mapname gamemode"

The quotationmarks are important. If you don't pass them, the gamemode is ignored.

In lgsm startscript these quotationmarks are not passed:

defaultmap="mapname gamemode"
parms="-game insurgency -strictportbind -ip ${ip} -port ${port} +clientport ${clientport} +tv_port ${sourcetvport} +map ${defaultmap} +servercfgfile ${servercfg} -maxplayers ${maxplayers}"

So I changed the defaultmap varible to:

defaultmap=""mapname gamemode""

If you start the server in debug-mode, this works. For "normal" start it does not work. The quotationmarks get lost in tmux.

I changed the defaultmap varible to:

defaultmap="\"mapname gamemode\""

Now, "normal" start works, but debug mode does not work anymore. That's because the backslashes are passed to the game executable and can't be interpreted.

+map "mapname gamemode"

Perhaps you have an idea to get both "normal"- and debug-startup to work without having to change the defaultmap variable.
