UT2K4 - how to stay on one map during DM?

Hi,

In GOTY, there is a little check box if you want to auto advance to
the next map when playing DM network games. Sometimes I like to
change the map every game, but sometimes I just like to stay in the
same map and play many short games .. kind of gives everyone a chance
to get used to that map, and then things get more exciting.

I've looked through all the setup screens on UT2k4 for the same
feature, but can't find it. Thus, when playing network (or instant
action) DM games, the maps *always* advance to the next map on the
list. I suppose the odd-ball way of solving this is to go to the map
list configuration, and remove all but one map from the play list, but
that seems rather clumsy.

Did I miss something somewhere? Is there a simple tick-box somewhere
I've not looked?

TIA

Good question.

When you select a map during Instant Action, there's a "Maplist
Configuration" button at the bottom of the screen. I figure you could
erase all the maps except for the one you want to play to get what
you're looking for, although I didn't try it.

UT99's solution was better.

I tried this, it does work.

yeah, I agree. Oh well, at least I have an option ...
