Yeah but we start to see a lot of "next" maps from now on that wouldn't be nice.
So i've made another PR to use + for next and +$ for nextsecret, besides this way is more consistent and simpler.

Or just delete the "next" map... :mrgreen:

No big deal but i could change it. * warps to the current map so we could use ** for next and *+ for nextsecret or something like that.

Perfect response. I don't know why more people don't just take that line with mods that dick the player around.

I see no reason not to add this, it's still better than having to maintain aliases.
Someone could make a map called "next" with a message saying for example:
"You cheater! Why would you skip my awesome levels! Shame, just shame on you!"

Which would effectively nullify this command.
There's an effective way to deal with said mapsets:

Alright. Done and done, then.

I'm gonna wait for Graf to sign off on this one - it isn't likely that a map might actually be named "next" but if there is - this could present a problem.

I'll move it to code submissions anyway.

IMO this didn't make much sense but i've extended the changemap command instead.

Here is the mod. It adds changenextmap and changenextsecret commands.

Thank you. Now I don't have to start with a Piss-You-Off-Tol lol.

This is already possible simply by typing special exit_normal 0 and special exit_secret 0 in the console.

If needed you can add this to your autoexec.cfg:

Code: Select all

alias changenextmap "special exit_normal %1 0"
alias changenextsecret "special exit_secret %1 0"
Note however m8f's solution does not require cheats enabled (nor do the map or changemap commands) - however, this solution does. So if you need to use it without cheats, then m8f's mod is better.

A "changenextmap" command.

We all know nextmap, right?

The problem is that it makes you lose your stuff, which ik is intentional, bc it calls map.

Why isn't there a changenextmap command, which acts like nextmap, but calls the changemap command, which doesn't make you lose your stuff.

My request is for the changenextmap command to become a reality and not just a little dream of mine.

TL;DR: changenextmap = nextmap, but calls changemap instead of map.
