Is that really worth a new thread?

EVERY command-line options are documented in config.html

To choose/change map, use the command /map on a client, as you would do on SP. The vote will pass if the majority votes for the same map.

AFAIK, you can't enforce map selection on server.

Change the address of the master server to something else.

According to common sense ;)
1) To launch a LAN server, have your server PC on your LAN instead of the internet (ie any PC on your LAN)
2) To avoid other players: this is what -mblah is for.

// BEGIN TECH STUFF
If ppl from internet are connecting, maybe you launched once the server on your internet gateway, or a PC with a public IP and/or port-forwarded behind your fw/gw, so ppl have a record for it in their servers.cfg make sure ppl from internet can't connect to ports 28765 and 28766 of your cube server
// END TECH STUFF

^^^ If you don't understand this, it's that you don't need to know this. In this case, just understand that as "launch cube server on a PC of your LAN that's not your internet gateway"
