I am keen to know / see if you can indeed toggle between game modes / types 
in-game. I haven’t thought to try doing this yet myself.

This would go a long way to justifying the new config file convention to people 
(per mode separate config settings), and may hint towards how future modes and 
mods could be switched to on 'on the fly'.

Be nice if this were the case, and in time complimented by the ability to vote 
the game mode in-game.

Regards,
Nick

It is late Friday night here and I don't know if we've been provided with 
sufficient documentation to answer this question, but:

Can you define two custom game modes with the necessary settings, then change 
between them without restarting the server? It seems possible, game_mode and 
game_type are cvars that appear to be changeable via rcon (I just played with 
it on a server then) and gamemodes.txt seems to be an extensible schema. If so:

You distribute an approved gamemodes_league.txt file for your league. That file 
defines two custom games modes, practice and match, with associated maplists. 
Official servers start with +-gamemodes_serverfile gamemodes_league.txt on the 
command line, and then can swap between them with "rcon game_mode x" or with an 
addon that does that for you - I assume something like Warmod would automate 
this. (You could also distribute the file and admins can merge it with their 
current gamemodes_server.txt file if they want. Keeping it separate makes for 
easier updating.)

I haven't tested any of that, but from the look of the gamemodes.txt file and 
the cvars, it seems to be the way we are expected to accomplish what you need.

Regards,
Brendan.
