This is an issue with Best-Ever for some reason.

You'll want to connect to your server's RCon and do type this command:

Code: Select all

deathmatch true
map <MAPNAME>
where <MAPNAME> is the name of the map.
Also, you don't need newtextcolours1_220.pk3, as that is automatically loaded by Best-Ever.

For servers hosted by best ever you are given an rcon password via bestbot. Use this to enable server modifying commands like "Deathmatch true" in the console.

You would use send_password "password" to enable rcon usage, then you would use "rcon Deathmatch true" to enable the game mode. A map reset is required as well, so use "rcon map map01" to reset.
