Hiya! I'd like to request a very simple plugin: One that plays a song every time a map vote nomination comes up.

And the runoff vote please, too.

UMC did this, but it's too old and clunky for me nowadays, and the only thing I miss is my voting jeopardy music...

Simply put: The stock MapChooser doesn't let other plugins know when most vote events happen. The exception is when a vote starts and when a nomination is removed (usually when a player disconnects).

MapChooser Extended (and you knew this was going to be mentioned) lets other plugins know when:

• The map vote warning timer starts.
• The map vote runoff warning timer starts.
• The map vote warning timer ticks (passes number of seconds remaining).
• A map vote starts.
• A map vote ends (and what map won).
• A nomination is removed.

The MapChooser Extended Sounds plugin (same thread as above) already uses the above hooks.

Adding a notification that a nomination was added isn't a bad idea, as well as adding an argument to OnMapVoteStart to say whether it was a runoff or not.

Having said all that, I haven't been doing much with MapChooser Extended lately. When I've had free dev time, it's been doing stuff with PropHunt, adding an ability to the SM menu system, and things unrelated to SourceMod at all. It doesn't help that my main server currently runs UMC as I use its ability to restrict maps based on player counts (it's my PropHunt server).

Actually...no. No, I had no idea that plugin existed at all! So, it would replace the current rtv, nextmap, and nominations plugins?
Hm. Will you update it if there's a new feature for the stock plugins? (For example, UMC was never updated with support for showing the current map, or what maps have been recently selected.)

If so, that may be an even better replacement for my uses!

Umc shows the current map.

Yeah. But the built-in one shows the current map IN the nominate list.

Edit the config to not exclude the current map (RtFM)

His point is that the stock MapChooser's nominations show the map (and recently played maps), you just can't select it (because it was recently played).

Exactly.

I actively port features added to SourceMod's MapChooser to MapChooser Extended... however, I've been really bad about releasing new versions of MapChooser Extended and its subplugins because some of the updates are tied to an updated version of the NativeVotes (TF2-only) plugin.

Having said that, I'm currently porting some of the fixes from MapChooser Extended back to the stock MapChooser.

Here's the list of things I'm working on backporting to it:

• CS:GO - Start map end vote if mp_match_can_clinch is on and a team is one point away from winning.
• CS:GO & TF2 - Automatically disable end of map vote.
• (RTV) TF2 - Automatically disable change map vote.
• (Nominations) - Fix map name from being 32 characters only.
• CS:GO - Swap team scores during halftime if mp_halftime is enabled.
• DoD:S, CS:S, and CS:GO - Use the correct cvars to use for bonus time votes (it's not mp_bonusroundtime for those games)
• CS:GO - Handle map votes correctly for Arms Race (improved from MapChooser Extended's version).
• TF2 - Handle map votes correctly for Mann vs. Machine (improved from MapChooser Extended's version).
• New forwards: OnMapVoteEnded(const char[] map), OnNominationAdded(const char map[], int owner).
• Updated forward: OnMapVoteStarted(bool:runoff)... which tells you whether the vote being started is a runoff vote or not.
• (Not completed yet) CS:GO - Treat workshop map names the same as non-workshop map names.

The stuff marked as improved from MapChooser Extended's version will be ported back into it.

Awesome. Glad to hear it!
