MOAR IMPORTANT FACTS! The MvM in-game voting system restricts the options given to players to change the map or mission. Similarly, PvP voting restricts the options to what's in your mapcycle file.
So... To host a PvP server: * No MvM maps in the mapcycle file. * Set tf_mm_servermode 1 (or 0) * Boot the server on a PvP map in your map cycle. To host an MvM server: * Make sure maxplayers is 32! * No PvP maps in the MvM mission cycle file. (More details on this file will follow.) * Set tf_mm_servermode 2 (or 0) * Boot the server on a MvM map in your map cycle. If you do the above, the server will essentially be locked in either one mode or the other, and players will not be able to switch.

If so, how is this done? 2) If a server has the capability, will spectators be able to join and watch MvM matches without SourceTV? If so, will they be able to cycle in and out after each match, like Arena mode? I apologize if these have already been answered.
