Introduction

With a join effort between myself, Kevlar and Snipa of 3-PG.com we have created a simple vote scramble plug-in that utilizes the built in scramble command in Team Fortress 2. However, as we all know the command scrambles teams but resets the time of a map. This plug-in solves this problem by taking the value of the time remaining in a map when the vote is called, stores it and if the vote is successful will change the value of timeleft of the map to its original value before the scramble.

Example:

• Server set time for a map 40 minutes
• Timeleft in a map 17 minutes
• VoteScramble is initiated by a player
• Value of timeleft(17 minutes) is taken and stored
• VoteScramble is successful
• Plug-in excutes server command mp_scrambleteams
• Timeleft is reverted back to 40 minutes
• Plug-in manually changes Timeleft back to 17 minutes

Oh god you beautiful persons you. Installing this now, THANK YOU. Next best thing to a proper balancer in the mean time, thanks very much.

edit: a request, can you register an admin command that lets you do this but bypasses the vote totally? Thanks.

OK, I have a bug with this. I think it might be because the vote was started in the warmup time but when I scamble teams then it set the timelimit to 0 once it scrambled the teams

edit2: I have the timelimit as 30 mins, and I just confirmed by doing a scramble teams while the match is in progress it works fine.

this really does need the command for the admins to by pass the vote and just scramble the teams.

Well its a good plugin has very good intent! BUT has a very bad ides of working the vote!!!!

Ok anyone can come on your server just joined and they type !votescramble thats gonna get targeted imo. 1 player triggers the vote then the poor other players really do need to use it BUT guess what they cant as the safest option is to set the sm_votescramble_timer to a high number to stop the players that only want to upset the game! ?

To stop this you need to add a vote count and a cvar so we can pick the number of required votes to activate the vote.. Ie 6 votes and now they can vote. With that you can risk having the timer to allow it again a little lower!

I think this needs this option maybe more as its a vote that effects all players..

Could you add it for a test even if you don't want to use it i would like to have it so it counts votes so i can choose how many votes triggers the scramble team vote.

Thx Binksy

Uhm, if they don't want the teams to scramble, they just vote No?
