Is this just your personality? I've been told by everyone NEVER use it online. You could ... I don't know ... tell me instead of just be rude about it ...

Where did I ever say I didn't know how to read the Wiki? "Not knowing how" and "not reading every page" are completely different things ...

My apologies for the rudeness, it comes naturally and I get rather incensed when people give bad advice when it comes to things like scripting.

Well then, "everyone" is wrong because I've always used it online and it works just fine. I would like to know who "everyone" is and who told them that.

And another thing, there is no reason for loadmap to be just for offline considering:

Which invalidates any reason for loadmap being offline only if this method exists. This method is actually better since you don't have to bother having the script in the level.

well the lates time i tried something like that, the tiles didnt load. then i talked to dusty, and he said i had to put tileset in the name of it for it to load properly. have you done this recently ? maybe it is an update or something, im not sure. but thats just wat i was told

Good lord. Where do you people get your information from? That is completely WRONG.

[DustyPorViva]

Hmm? I don't remember saying anything like that.

I would recommend using this.name instead of just 'name' I had a case where using that actually fixed an odd bug which I believe was with the engine itself.

For speeding up the entering of maps you can preload gmaps on clientside using the script command "loadmap <mapname>;". This is actually not required, but will reduce the loading time when the player is warped onto the map.

The gmaps server option is mainly so the server can know what the gmaps are, not for the client.

By the way, if you're going to leave me negative rep, be nice and leave your name.
