Thread: protect maplist/cycle from steam updates forever

mani has this function with the "votemaplist.txt" option in it's CVARs.

Made a ticket for it

good.

can't think of what other files are affected commonly, except for motd.txt, which gets rewritten a lot.

I don't know if there is a way to "save" that one, as the game engine is uses it directly and there isn't a way for lonestar to feed it something different.
