That's the .arena script system RTCW has. By default RTCW should load all .arena files for every map (if named and placed in their proper directories within the maps pk3 file) so they display on in game lists (the map voting list, server config list) but it's really buggy in that it won't load some arena files sometimes, or it will load duplicates, etc.

There's no real way around it per say as it's one of those nagging RTCW bugs but if you extract the maps .arena file into a folder in the main directory called "scripts" that may help it load the map for in game lists, also if it has specific game modes setup for it, it won't show in whatever mode you're trying to play on (you can modify the .arena file so it does, there's a section in the waypointing tutorial that explains it better)

It does kind of suck that's why i'm not including modified arena files anymore as they only work some of the time anyway. I hope that helps you out though.
