I am looking for step-by-step instructions to remove weapons from an existing HL2DM map specifically designed for the configuration impaired......or challenged. (Mods for Dummies)

OK...I want to remove the RPGs from some of the maps I have on the server (source dedicated) and want to limit the weapons to only a pistol on another.  They are maps that I have downloaded from the internet (island17, clock, rebar_b6, etc.)  I have never attempted to alter the .cfg files, only console commands (novice).

Can you download the map to your server after the modification?  Or does it stay on Gameflood?  I would like to modify most of them and return them to my server so we can use them for Team Deathmatch Games.

OK, let me get this straight in my own head....I modify the map I want in Mashup Studio and then access the Studio from my server.  The map will automatically download to the server using the host command.  Now the tricky part: is the server accessing the game directly from the Mashup Studio or is the map loaded onto the computer itself?  If I keep a line open to the Mashup Studio then my bandwidth will be narrowed and lag will occur.  If the map is loaded directly on my computer I can run the map independent of GameFlood and the bandwidth will not be affected.  Basically, is the map mine or GameFloods, after I modify it?  I'm temporarily running a four man server through Steam (source dedicated server) on a dinosaur laptop (Latitude 450 w/512max) so I don't have any excess memory or processor speed to mess with.  I have to use the sv_unlag 1 console command to get some of the slower guys to operate decently so the smallest deviation will affect their performance.

The server will not authorize my download to your mashup.

 I was informed by the Steam forum that if you enter into the server.cfg:

sv_cheats 1
ent_remove_allweapon_rpg
sv_cheats 0

This command should remove all rpgs from the maps I load onto the source dedicated server (so they say) and I should not have to enter it every time I load the server, correct?

Can you give me instructions on how to do this? Is this the correct format? I have no idea how to access the server.cfg or where to type this in.
