[B]Useful commands[/B]

In Console:

If mp_backlot automatically loads when you try to run your map, type in these commands to load into your map even with errors, allowing you to shift+tilde (~) and see what is wrong.

/sv_mapRotation ""
/sv_mapRotationCurrent ""
/devmap [yourmapname]
Change to any map w/o dev.

/map [themap]
Third person view (first load with /devmap [mapname])

/cg_thirdperson 1

More Usefull ServerCommands:

''only available in devmap mode.''

\give airstrike_mp
\give helicopter_mp
\give radar_mp

In CoD4Tools Custom Command Line Options:

<pre>+set scr_game_matchstarttime 0 +set scr_game_playerwaittime 0 +set fs_game mods/modWarfare</pre>
This one line takes off the wait timers at the beginning of the game when you load in, as well as loads you into ModWarfare from the start.
