Summary

0004556: Ability to lock servers to a specific game mode

Description

Like how GAMEMODE allows locking cvars with LockedGameSettings, it would be nice if we could do this with game modes as a whole.
I personally only support cooperative, never wanting people to pick another game mode.
My current approach uses SetCurrentGameMode to adjust for the wrong game mode, which is what I also did for cvars. Now with the lump I can change one to be on engine level, but the game mode would also be nice to lock.

(0024555) Fused (reporter) 2025-08-06 11:31	This doesn't seem to be in 3.2.1 yet? Changes were made to support this and can be found here: 'https://foss.heptapod.net/zandronum/zandronum-stable/-/tree/topic/default/mapinfo-gamemode-property?ref_type=heads [^]'

(0024558) Kaminsky (developer) 2025-08-07 00:29	FYI, I didn't address this for 3.2.1 since it's only a hotfix release. The topic that you linked above was intended to be pushed in for 3.3, where new features are acceptable.

(0024561) Fused (reporter) 2025-08-07 06:38	All good! Just making sure.

(0024678) Kaminsky (developer) 2026-02-08 18:28	This commit adds the "gamemode" property to MAPINFO, allowing specific levels to be locked into a single game mode:'https://foss.heptapod.net/zandronum/zandronum-stable/-/commit/3bee6855464c6aa9a0e31dae6e373416bb17b701 [^]'
