I have to say good work so far :)

[Hell Phoenix]

Very nice. Glad to see people helping get sourcemod out the door =D

[krod]

Thanks for your hard work!

[Fisch.666]

Hi!

First thanks for this plugin!! But when i try to add this plugin to my Hidden: Source linux server with the latest sourcemod, the server crashs with an Segmentation fault:

L 06/15/2007 - 01:00:24: [SM] Warning(s) encountered in translation file "plugin.basevotes.cfg"
L 06/15/2007 - 01:00:24: [SM] Too many digits in format index on line %d, phrase will be ignored.
./srcds_run: line 344: 21217 Segmentation fault $HL_CMD
Add "-debug" to the ./srcds_run command line to generate a debug.log to help with solving this problem


After i've added the -debug line to my script, there is only a core.21272 file (which you can find attached to this post). No debug.log is created...

[BAILOPAN]

Fisch: what revision did this crash with?

[Fisch.666]

Hi!

First thanks for your reply.

My server is running the sourcemod rev. 937 with the metamod version 1.4.1.400.

Or do you mean the revision of this plugin?

[ferret]

Confirmed on my newly updated CSS server! Latest "simple package" download and metamod. I have not idea which line in the file is at fault though due to the debug message printing %d instead of line number.

[BAILOPAN]

This bug has been fixed in r939. Thanks!

[ferret]

Tested with R939, no more segfault, whee

[Kaschenko]

The good beginning. It would be not bad to make automatic voting. For example: automatic voting 3 minutes prior to the end map (for example: sm_votemapauto "3").

P.S. After creation of such command - at once I shall put SourceMod :) on a server.

Same here, thanks for this bugfix!!! :up:

[Kaschenko]

What does it mean?
The flag is established - root.
The interdiction cannot be.

In AMXX, this was a seperate plugin, mapchooser.sma. I may port it this weekend as well. Or try to. First I'll have to find out how to actually set the next map.

The second image, with the error report from IsVoteInProgress, is my fault. I'll fix.

The third image shows that you did NOT give yourself any admin privs.

sm_voteban requires ADMIN_BAN rights
sm_votekick requires ADMIN_KICK rights
sm_votemap requires ADMIN_CHANGEMAP rights
sm_vote and sm_votecancel require ADMIN_VOTE rights.

'z' gives you none of these. Please refer to this page:
http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Adding_Admins_%28SourceMod%29

[ferret]

Ok, maybe I should read the wiki, not you. 'z' is default "no access" in AMXX. I realize now that 'z' is "everything" in SM. Good to know!

I will try to figure out what's wrong tonight when I get home from work. It's probably because of the IsVoteInProgress.

[supermj]

Thanks for the much needed plugin!!! I'm assuming since I have z access, that's why it says unknown command?

[Kaschenko]

ferret
Goood!!
Respect man!

[ferret]

Thanks for the much needed plugin!!! I'm assuming since I have z access, that's why it says unknown command?

Try this (I won't be able to test this for another 5 hours, at work):

Remove this from the source code wherever it appears:

|| IsVoteInProgress(hVoteMenu)
|| !IsVoteInPr4ogress(hVoteMenu)

[ferret]

Working out the kinks. So far I've gotten every bug out I've found, but I've ran into weird issues with translation.

[ferret]

I'm pretty sure I know the reason for this, need to talk to BAIL about it though.

[supermj]

Thanks for the hard work...keep it up!!!

[ferret]

Ok! Reread the first post and redownload!

Plugin is now fully tested and usable. I've found some bugs though, and I'm not sure I can fix them in the plugin. They may be menu API bugs.

The most serious bug is that votes don't end till everyone has voted, instead of after 20 seconds like the plugin says.

I also added "sm_vote_show", which controls whether or not player's choices are displayed in the chat log.

[supermj]

What flag do admins need to use this. One of my admins said he was able to start a vote, but when he tried to cancel it, it said he didn't have access to that command.

[Hell Phoenix]

Each command needs:
sm_votemap ADMFLAG_CHANGEMAP
sm_votekick ADMFLAG_KICK
sm_voteban ADMFLAG_BAN
sm_vote ADMFLAG_VOTE
sm_votecancel ADMFLAG_VOTE

You can change the access to whatever you want. In AMXX default for all those was ADMFLAG_VOTE Im pretty sure.

[ferret]

In AMXX default for all those was ADMFLAG_VOTE Im pretty sure.

Whoops. You're right. My bad. I'll fix later.

[Kaschenko]

excellent work!
I shall wait mapchooser :)

[ferret]

Updated. Fixed a few bugs, see the changelog in the first post. make sure to redownload the translation file too.

[Fisch.666]

Hi!

I made a german translation for your plugin. Maybe i have make some tweaks while playing, but the translation should be ok. :)

[ferret]

Posted!

[yester64]

just to let you know.. if i trigger votemap, it says nobody voted.
how many people have to vote, to have a mapchange? 3 or more..

[ferret]

Update to the latest SourceMod build and try again.

[ferret]

Plugin Updated.

Please make sure you have the latest build of Sourcemod, as this version requires the renamed Sourcemod core translation files. Also make sure to redownload the translation file, the extension has changed to match the new standard.

[ferret]

Sorry! Another small update to fix a display error in sm_votemap when voting on a single map.

[ferret]

Version 1.1

Fixed the Cvars. I accidently renamed them by doing a replace all.

[ferret]

Update for plugin submissionn standards and cvar for version.

[Juba_PornBorn]

Im looking for a votemap plugin that allows anyone to type votemap in say and open a menu where you can choose whatever map you want so if admin is not present and the map it's not suitable for the amount of players in it or because people in the server just dont like it to be able to change.
And with a delay so votemap can only be typed once every 5 minutes(set by cvar) or so for the anoiyng people not to abuse it.

[ferret]

Try: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=57106

[TSCDan]

I'm looking for something similar to Juba but with a twist: what about letting players initiate a votekick or voteban? An admin isn't always on the server, and having the players be able to initiate a ban of an obvious hacker would be nice :)

[ferret]

Here is version 1.3, which will be officially posted on the front of the thread after I test later tonight. You may use now if you wish, but once again: Untested.

Version 1.3
Abandoned hungarian notation
New cvar: sm_vote_say. Default is off. Allows players to use votekick and voteban by saying them. "say votekick player". Personally, I would NOT use it. But it was requested, so there you go. Don't get yourself banned!Please carefully consider if you plan to turn on sm_vote_say. If your immunities are not set up correctly in SM (I'm not sure immunities as ready yet, for that matter?), players CAN initiate votes to ban YOU.

[TSCDan]

Quick question, is there functionality for "votekick" by itself, and have a menu brought up with a list of players? A lot of players use ascii crap in the names that would be somewhat difficult. A menu would make things simpler :D

[ferret]

Not in 1.3

I may add it later, but I'm starting to feel this plugin is getting a bit bloated beyond its original intention as a plugin that provides the basic "must have" commands that every mature admin plugin has.

[Isias]

Hehe, as you're concerned of the size of it, this might not be the right time but how about a votemute command? Of coure a GUI would be quiet nice.

[ferret]

New version of 1.3:

Fixed Kick Failed message, displayed sm_vote_map instead of sm_vote_kick
Fixed Ban Failed message, displayed sm_vote_map instead of sm_vote_banSeveral other tweaks. This is not finish, use at own risk.

Hi!

When i compile the version 1.3 of this plugin with the latest sourcemod i get this error:


./spcomp basevotes.sp
SourcePawn Compiler 1.0.0.882
Copyright (c) 1997-2006, ITB CompuPhase, (C)2004-2007 AlliedModders, LLC

basevotes.sp(87) : error 017: undefined symbol "g_Cvar_VoteMaster"
basevotes.sp(688) : error 017: undefined symbol "g_Cvar_VoteMaster"

2 Errors.
and the plugin doesn't compile. Any ideas how i can fix this?
Thanks in advance for an reply.

[ferret]

It's fixed, but not ready for release just yet.

[ferret]

Version 1.3 officially released. You must get the new phrase file.

[Shaman]

Can you make something like "votemap all" which displays all maps in the vote?

[ferret]

I don't really see the point. If it's more than 6 maps, most players won't go to the second page, they'll just pick from the first page of options.

[TSCDan]

I agree with you on that one. How about just "votemap" to initiate a vote with 5 randomly chosen maps from either the maps.ini or mapcycle.txt? :D

[Onix.fr]

translation in FR finish and correct

[vortex06]

I want to allow anyone and everyone to start a votekick/voteban but not votemap. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks.

[vortex06]

nevermind, found my answer in the source code.

set CVAR sm_vote_say to 1

This plugin will no longer be supported or updated. I have created a new voting system that provides these votes. This plugin can continue to be used however, until the new system is a bit more mature.
