L4D Voting Manager

[devicenull]

This plugin will allow you to stop players from starting various vote types in L4D, while still allowing admins to.

It adds the following cvars:
l4d_vote_lobby_access
l4d_vote_difficulty_access
l4d_vote_level_access
l4d_vote_restart_access
l4d_vote_kick_access

Setting any of these to an access level (ex: "z","b") will require the user to have at least that access level before starting a vote. Setting this to an empty string "", will allow any user to start a vote.

It also adds:
l4d_vote_kick_immunity 0|1

Setting this to 1 will make vote kicks respect admin immunity, that is, users with lower access cannot kick users with higher access. Public players will not be able to kick admins.

Changelog:
0.2:
* Added logging of failed votes to the admin logs
* Added l4d_vote_kick_immunity

[The JCS]

Very good plugin =]
You could add options to call a vote from the server console

That's already built into the game, use the "callvote" command.

Oh, ... =( I didn't know that. Thanks! =]

Can you add a cvar to make admins immune from votekicks?

I don't want to turn off the function entirely, but I need to be able to protect admins from it.

[r5053]

simple but usefull :D

Like I said in IRC, it's planned implemented :)

[subzero06]

Cool!
my question is, Those cvars, where and how do we edit them? or do we have to put them somewhere in a file?
i just want the admin to be immune from being kicked from votes....but all other options should stay normal...

[DontWannaName]

Put them at the end of sourcemod.cfg or server.cfg

These change the actual game votes from the escape menu im guessing? So when someone isnt allowed to call a vote and trys to through the menu it does nothing?

[subzero06]

So, in my case it should be

l4d_vote_kick_immunity 1
l4d_vote_lobby_access ""
l4d_vote_difficulty_access ""
l4d_vote_level_access ""
l4d_vote_restart_access ""
l4d_vote_kick_access ""

[devicenull]

It gives them a message saying they do not have access.

[recon0]

Awesome ;)

[fanboi]

Well, admin immunity does work but I want regular players to be able to vote kick other regular players.

How can I achieve this?

rcon l4d_vote_kick_access ""

They seem to have no access to do it.

[Jokerz99]

if i have
l4d_vote_kick_immunity 1
l4d_vote_kick_access ""

and my user has a flag "a" we called a vote and we where able to kick him is there something i am missing?

[Badkharma]

anyone else having problems with this since last patch? I have

l4d_vote_kick_immunity 1

in my sourcemod.cfg

and my admins all have b access, my access is z flag, but any player can kick anyone including me through the vote system now...

was working fine 3 days ago:cry:

[crazychicken]

awesome

[santaclaus]

votekick immunity doesn't work .

I've checked his value in console

l4d_vote_kick_immunity returned value "1"

but ppl still can kick me.

I have those flags : "bcdefghijkl"

[Badkharma]

Same problem here,
votekick immunity doesn't work anymore.

Have z flag, immunity 99, admin menu access, confirmed vote_kick_immunity_1 but,

still can be targeted and kicked by any user

[subzero06]

I'm guessing its because the new patch...this plugin needs to be updated.

[devicenull]

I don't have the ability to update this at the moment, and it will be a few weeks before I'm on a computer that can handle L4D. If someone can run the "listissues" command on their client when connected to a server, and paste me the output... I should be able to determine what happened during the latest update.

Looking at that, the plugin should still be working fine, unless something subtle was changed in how callvote works. I'll have to take a look once I am actually able to run the game again.

[MisterCrille]

I was votekicked just now on my versus server.. Damn it´s so annoying.

l4d_vote_kick_immunity 1
l4d_vote_lobby_access ""
l4d_vote_difficulty_access ""
l4d_vote_level_access ""
l4d_vote_restart_access ""
l4d_vote_kick_access ""

I have the "z" flag.


This is the most important L4D plugin IMO, hope it will work again soon:)

dunno really but during the last update they did change smth in callvote :



Fixed Infected Players melee pushing large objects to block the survivors path.
Fixed +lobby exploit.
Fixed exploit of "hugging" the Witch from behind where she can't hit you.
Fixed players not being kicked from a vote by changing their name before it succeeds.
Disabled difficulty change votes from the console in versus mode.

[msleeper]

Any update on a fix for this? My community members are getting kinda sick of people voting them off our own servers.

yea...lets have patience maybe he still working on it.

[santaclaus]

bump.

[subzero06]

i think its time for an update now please.

[devicenull]

i think its time for an update now please.

Sure, buy me a computer that can run L4D and I'll update the plugin. I bricked my motherboard when I tried to do a BIOS update, and it's going to be awhile until the new one is shipped to me because of the holidays.

CrimsonGt has added admin protection to his plugin for those that need this immediately, located here:

tested and works 100%

[KawMAN]

pls add function writing who start a vote and how players vote

[Downtown1]

Would be nice if we disabled bans when someone gets vote kicked?

[KawMAN]

I think this can be done with
sm_cvar sv_vote_kick_ban_duration 0
but i dont test that and i dont know what means 0 in this cvar (permanent ban or off ?)

[Yareking]

Im very new to this and i dont understant how to use it. Do you have any link to help? i want this plugin on my server because being kick on you own server sucks...

[nikow-jumper]

add command sv_Infinite_ammo ?

[devicenull]

add command sv_Infinite_ammo ?

That makes absolutely no sense to add to this plugin.

[ovakek]

Hi!

How can i add the plugin cvars to my custom admin menu?
Only "l4d_vote_kick_immunity" works, the other cvars not. I think it's because sourcemod doesn't like to set or execute empty strings on the server.

My adminmenu_custom.txt looks like this:


// Custom admin menu commands.

ok sry i found the answer

[madcap]

Is this plugin still maintained? I have 2 feature requests.

Veto - Could we get a command for admins that immediately overrides the current vote? I don't want to completely restrict kicking because sometimes it's needed but there are times when it's a blatantly bad vote and I want to be able to kill it right away. If there was a veto command to kill a vote I could just bind it to a key.

No kick vote for spectators -I've noticed a few people on the spectator team trying to kick non-spectators in order to steal their spot. It seems to me there is no reason why a spectator should be able to kick a player.

Thoughts?

[lep]

This is an updated version of the votemanager plugin.

Changes:
- Kick immunity now works and respects admin level
- Spectators cannot initiate kick votes
- Messages are printed to all clients when anyone initiates a vote
- Added new cvar "l4d_vote_log" (when set, this will log voting information to sourcemod's log files, defaults to 0)

[lep]

madcap and I are working on a rewrite of the votemanager plugin. Specifically, we're cleaning up the code (making it more readable) and attempting to implement a 'veto' feature. One of us will post here with a link to the new thread when we're done.

[sirmoe]

Still admin immunity doesnt work :(

[madcap]

I've submitted a new plugin to replace this one:
