Ok, I got this sorted (pretty much) recently - it may not be the tidiest way of doing it, but it works!
What I did was create a filter class (I found it while looking through the verc forums - http://www.chatbear.com/board.plm?a=viewthread&t=549,1104207081,14733&b=4991 &id=767996&v=flatold&s=20) which lets me track the entities that I want to *keep* through a restart. Once I had that, I needed access to the list of entities that the current map contains, which is as far as I can tell, only available when the map loads, so I put in a couple of extra procedures in the IGameSystem class (a global singleton interface to the game rules). These let me cache a copy of the entity list from CServerGameDLL::LevelInit_ParseAllEntities() (found in sdk_gameinterface.cpp). With that information, I was able to loop through all the entities, check if I they needed deleting - use UTIL_Remove on them to do so. Once the entity list was clear, I call MapEntity_ParseAllEntities with the map entity list and the filter. Then it's just a case of calling the spawn function on the players. A full list of the changes - new procedures etc can be found here : http://www.hidden-source.com/round-restart.php One thing to note, it doesn't remove decals or debris, I assume they're temporary effects on the client side - not that big a deal.

I belive mapenties.h is a start, but I would like to hear frm people who have already done it or done work on it. I'm having a hard time getting my head around it.
