(not so popular maps get a chance too) Done that but not tested it out.

nominationsToAdd on line 734 controls the number of nominations to add to the vote list.

Be aware that it adds the first X nominations (X being the value of nominationsToAdd) and not X random maps.

Imo all you have to do is creating two arrays. Maps from the nomination and the maplist will be written in the first array. The second array contains a list of random numbers (array one size == array two size). Then sort the second array and get the first sorted as well. This should do the trick.

The other way to do this would be to replace all the lines that add the maps to the menu and have them add to an adt_array instead, then use a Fisher-Yates shuffle (using SourceMod's SwapArrayItems to move the selected items) to change the order of the maps, then use a for loop on the (now-shuffled) array to add them to the menu.

This is the trickiest part but it should work by ignoring the "Any map will do" count at the end of the vote. Unfortunatly I can not modify it because I can not find the counter algorythm.

The counter algorithm is part of SourceMod itself.

Your best bet would be to ignore Any map will do if it's the top voted option right below the first if in Handler_MapVoteFinished (so, on line 853 or so). The problem is that the vote option numbers are hard-coded on lines 860, 862, and 905. The 0 on line 869 would also have to be changed to a 1 if Any vote will do is selected as the top option.

Additionally, checks to see if the current vote option is "Any map will do" would need to be done before line 874, on line 901, and before line 925.

Unfortunately, I'm spending most of my time working on the BuiltinVotes extension, so I'm not really adding new features to Mapchooser Extended at this time. That doesn't mean you can't just modify it yourself, though.

Hello Powerlord.

The plugin itself works great. Unfortunatly, i am encountering an odd problem. After the initial vote from tha mapchooser a second vote pops up. It does not change the right vote, but i feel like it is confusing. Can you please help me?

I made some screenshots:
Right vote: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Pr0fix/...397413866722/?
Wrong vote: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Pr0fix/...397413868418/?

I hope you understand what i mean and you can help me finding a solution.

Greetings Pr0fix

The second vote is part of the TF2 built-in vote system.

You can disable that vote by putting this in your server.cfg:

sv_vote_issue_nextlevel_allowed 0

Argh. I knew it was that simple.
Thank you very much for your quick help.

hi,

I got a problem with the hint box, I like to let the peeps vote while bonus round the hintbox is a 100% must have feature, but I got a cosmetic problem:

my server settings:
maxrounds 2
timelimit 0
winlimit 0

Sadly, I think the hintbox is fixed in one spot by the game itself.

Out of curiosity, what are you MapChooser Extended settings? MapChooser (and MapChooser Extended) have the option to do a vote during bonus time at the end of a map, when the final scoreboard is showing. Although, the scoreboard may obscure that as well, I'm not sure...

Edit: I've also been informed that this plugin transitioned from New to Approved. \o/ Too bad MapChooser Extended Sounds wasn't at the same time. Oh well.

I was also thinking abut raising the timelimit to 8-10min (cant go higher bec of payload) but voting for a new map 10mins after u begin to play on a map is just .... people come and go...

Hi, I have question if it would be easy to extend this plugin with few more options or maybe there already is such plugin.

What I want - two things, first one is option to specify second maplist. And the second thing is options when to use this second maplist (with three cvars - two who specifies time interval and second who specifies player count)

For example, cvar which specifies that if player count is under that what is set in cvar, then mapchooser will use second maplist, or if server time is in time interval between what is specified in two time cvars, then mapchooser also uses second maplist, like

sm_mapvote_min_players
sm_mapvote_time_from
sm_mapvote_time_to

And it could work like this - if specified only min players, then second maplist is only when player count before vote starting is under this limit. If specified only time limits, then second maplist is only when server time is in range between speciefied times. If specified min players and time limit, then second maplist is only when booth options are valid. Or something like this.

Would it be hard to do this? Also maybe there is already such plugin, dunno.

Oh, OK, you're already using bonus round vote. I didn't think that vote started until after the end of map scoreboard screen came up (which can be dismissed by pressing tab).

I don't know if adding an option to disable the time-based end of round vote would be worth looking into, so that only the bonus time vote occurs at the end of the map...

Actually, that's what I currently do on my servers.

As much as I hate steering people away from my plugins to other peoples plugins, Ultimate MapChooser may be a better fit for your server. It's a bit more complicated to set up, but it has a Player Limit and Time Limit modules that do what you want.

[wildd]

You don't steer me away from your plugin, I will still use it on 3 of 4 servers, because I like it. But on 1 of 4 servers, I have one mod, so I needed this features. Thanks for help! :)
