New keywords: "rockthevote", "!rockthevote", "!rtv" Option to have votes only display to dead players, live players can vote by typing "!vote" or "vote" in chat. Cvar specifying how many slots to block. (If possible) Votes won't paginate unless there are greater than 10 slots needed in the menu. I doubt everything on this list will be implemented in the next update, but these are features to expect in the future. I will be prioritizing these based off of interest, so the more people asking for a certain feature, the quicker I will implement it.

What about the ability to have a map show up during certain hours only did that not make the cut?

Hello,
first timer.

i literally just registered to ask a few questions about THIS plugin.

the community i am a part of recently decided to use your plugin for our tf2 servers, we're testing it on a spare server, so far we love it. after some fine tuning, we intend to put it on all 3 of our servers. excellent job btw!


one of the nicest features of your plugin is that it apparently has the ability to make mapvote come at the end of the last round, however we simply cannot get this to happen at the moment.
we have win limits and round limits, i wanted to ask if abolishing the win limits and having it just go by round's and time would make it do what we want? (i think winlimits are lower than round limits, but i dont have the ability to check.)

also we seem to have an issue with nominating. if 3 people have nominated a map, nomination is then locked for the rest of the round, is there any way around this?

Well, i might upgrade to this just because BUT my doubt is the following:

players on server = 0 ; map = de_dust2
players on server >= 4; mapvote
-->IF mapvote votes < 1 = random map is chosen
players on server < 4; vote "want to go back to de_dust2?"

is this possible with this plugin?

[altex]

You request is for another plugin, that has no in common with this plugin.

We seem to be having a problem with IMR. At some points after a group has been voted it just picks a map out of the blue. It kept grabbing mountainlab for some reason which wasn't in any group at all. I've since added it to see if having it in a group makes a difference. Here is my config, please let me know if you see any syntax errors or what other info you need to assist me with this problem.

Feature request, any chance on having it capable of excluding previously played map groups as well as previously played maps? for example

3 Groups, CTF, KOTH, PL
sm_random_rtv_type is 1 so map group votes are used
the server is currently running koth_sawmill which is in the PL group
PL is excluded from the vote because sm_random_rtv_exclude is 1, and PL was recently played

Thanks

[jameless]

So as you can see I have coldfront in my config file but I see this in the logs:

L 12/14/2010 - 18:25:58: [SM] Changed map to "cp_coldfront"
L 12/14/2010 - 18:25:59: -------- Mapchange to cp_coldfront --------
L 12/14/2010 - 18:26:02: [improved-randomizer.smx] KV file "random_mapcycle.txt" successfully loaded.
L 12/14/2010 - 18:26:02: [improved-randomizer.smx] Current Map Group could not be determined.
L 12/14/2010 - 18:26:02: [improved-randomizer.smx] Extensions left: 4
L 12/14/2010 - 18:26:02: [improved-randomizer.smx] MIN_PLAYERS: 0, MAX_PLAYERS: 24

Any ideas? It keeps switching to mountainlab which is emptying the server. There are no errors in the logs so any assistance is much appreciated.

[PabloP]

Not sure if i missed it, but is there a way to put a limit on how many options there are for each vote?

I'm putting all my maps in groups, (hundreds) and at first i was thinking specific map types in a group, but that is a lot of groups, and im not sure if that would cause there to be a lot of options in a vote? Which i dont want.

btw this is great. cant wait for even more improvements.
thanks.

Still working? here RTV it's buged... always reset count needed to vote start... anyone can confirm if it's working or not?
