Lots of maps tend to have holiday based reskins.

For example, koth_viaduct, koth_eyeduct, koth_product.

A winter, halloween, and summer based map.

It'd be cool if there were a plugin that makes use of these files:

mapcycle_normal.txt
"mapcycle_halloween.txt" "10-1 10-e"
mapcycle_winter.txt "11-15 1-15"
mapcycle_summer.txt "6-1 7-e

Or whatever mapcycle_X file you create.

Rather than rewriting the entirety of mapcycle.txt or something, one could make a plugin that edits sourcemod/configs/maplists.cfg

Not sure if mapchooser extended also uses that file though, but hopefully mce would be supported.

If I have more time I might make it myself, but if someone wants to take it up instead, or knows a more optimal method of making this, that's cool too ;p

a little thing I made in C# as a console app week ago because I was too lazy to make a mapcycle.txt, modified for you...
Ideally you'd just place it inside the maps folder, run it and it'll generate a mapcycle.txt. However, this untested modified version *should* work the exact same, just filtering for whatever you may deem worthy.

PHP Code:

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace Map_List_Generator
{
    public class MapListGenerator
    {
        public static string[] MAP_FILTER = new string[] { "holiday", "christmas", "xmas" };

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string location = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
            DirectoryInfo d = new DirectoryInfo(location);
            FileInfo[] files = d.GetFiles("*.bsp");

            if (files.Length < 1) return;   

            string output = String.Format(@"{0}mapcycle.txt", location);
            StreamWriter write = new StreamWriter(output);
            write.AutoFlush = true;

            foreach(FileInfo file in files)
            {
                for(int i = 0; i < MAP_FILTER.Length; i++)
                {
                    if (!file.Name.Contains(MAP_FILTER[i])) continue;
                }
                string temp = file.Name.Replace(".bsp", "");
                write.WriteLine(temp);
            }
            Console.Beep();
        }
    }
} 


You'd just need to change what was contained by MAP_FILTER and I reckon it'd work? Very simple way of going about things rather than running around goofing with all kinda configs and such
