I've heard this happening on my custom version of the original Galileo plugin so I think it may be a bug that is much deeper than this plugin.

The min works great but when the server is full that allows everyone to still nominate the small maps from the minplayer mapcycle.
Very few, if any, major map management plugins has this feature. I've seen several people request it over the years so you should find the those posts and see what came of those requests.

That's what I would assume. You can't expect such an old game to do everything that you would expect a modern game to be able to do (even if you think it should be trivial). It sounds like you need a web-based solution.

Simply create a website that lists your maps and then add a command to open that page in the MOTD window. On some games, the MOTD doesn't have the most up-to-date browser implementation so it may require a less complex webpage. I have a pretty extensive maps website for our server that shows all of our maps along with a small image of each map. The most complex part of it, as related to the MOTD web browser, is jQuery Lazy Load for the images. Though, I am able to nominated directly from the website so that's a nice little feature.

I think I read that Counter-Strike 1.6 has a newer browser implementation than what I play, Day of Defeat, so maybe you'll have less restrictions. I developed my maps site many years ago so it's possible things have changed since then.
