Where is that file supposed to go? I have it in 3 different places: the warhead directory, the cfgs directory and the game/cfgs directory and I still can not get the maps to rotate. I also have this in my server.cfg

sv_levelrotation = levelrotation.xml
g_nextlevel

What am I missing?

OK to anyone who happens to look here for help. The gameservers install puts all of the cfg files in the folder Warhead/game/config.

Copy all of them to the Warhead/configs folder and your map rotation should work provided there are no errors.

I can make the levels rotate fine. My problem is it wont let people download the custom maps. Do the maps have to be uploaded to my free site?
If so what should i type in the download link? When people try to join the server it will ask if you want to download the map and trys, but the says cant find map. Thanks for any help guys.
