+If you are running a server, placing map (*.cgz) and config (*.cfg) files in this directory allows 
+them to be automatically loaded into ram by the server if the map is chosen. You should use this 
+for when you want to add custom maps into your map rotation.
+
+
+If you would like your server to store all maps that are sent to the server by clients, so if the 
+map is loaded again, there is no need for the clients to send a map file, create this folder: 
+/packages/maps/servermaps/incoming
+
+
+Note: All clients will automatically getmap the map files (if enabled), these features allow you 
+to make sure that users don't neccesarally need to sendmap the map files.
