Hi,
I have scoured the net looking for answers, and forgive me if I haven't looked hard enough, I am compelled to post looking for information.
I've spent many years hosting a COD server, and some of the commands for that I can not find for TF2.
1) What is the command to rotate a map on the server console?
2) When my maps end, or reach 0:00, the match does not end, instead the game keeps playing with no winner and the clock stays at 0:00. Some times the map will end, hence problem #3.
3) When the server does occassionally end a map, it goes to change to the next map and then then I have the result as if I typed in the next map name manually, the server appears to hang telling me that a dll cannot be loaded. (I've seen threads about this) and I've made sure that my logs are turned off, and I've even run with VAC disabled (-insecure in the startup line) to no avail. The only way I can rotate the maps is to quit the server and restart it to load a new map.
Some other info about my setup. I run a server on a private LAN. The player load is only six people, never any more. I have a dedicated dual quad opteron with 16GB RAM per CPU that I'm going to setup later to go on the internet, once i get the kinks worked out on this little setup.

Any help is appreciated. I am a noob to TF2 servers, I'm not a noob to hosting other games on servers.
