Does anyone else get a lag spike or pause as a mapvote comes up? This always seems to happen when a mapvote is triggered. I don't remember it doing this with SM 1.0.4.

Any suggestions?

Hi Zerak!

A little thing: Could you make the vote end earlier if the leading map has already so many votes that any other cannot win anymore?

For example: 15 players on the server and 8 have already voted for the same map, so the others cannot win anymore. This would make the voting less disturbing for alive players because it will be shown only for the amount of time it really needs to make a decision.

The algorithm should look something like that:

if number_of_votes_leadingmap > (number_of_votes_secondmap + players_left_allowed_to_vote) then endvote

I dont have the time to learn this language but i think it should be a thing of 10 minutes for you!

Another thing would be nice: A flag or generally that votes appear only at roundstart and not in the middle of a round!

Thank you in advance!

request: How to add "scramble teams" option to mapchooser vote?

i can see that there is allready "sm_mapvote_dontchange "1" option (if RTV is used soon after map start..), but would it be hard to add scrableteams to the votemenu.

like:

map 1
map 2
map 3
map 4
map 5
don't change
scramble teams & restart (ex. using mp_scrambleteams 1 & mp_restartround 1 commands to do it)

Hi

Im having problems with this plugin on my insurgency server. I installed all the necessary files and edited the mapvote.ini file, rebooted the server but in game it refuses to show the map vote screen. It will show it when only mapchooser is installed but when map vote is on and in control it just changes the map randomly. Ive checked and the server can read the file correcty. Unfortunately no error messages are reported.

id really like to use this plugin as INS has different map modes which lend themselves perfectly to plugin. If you could help that would be great.


cheers

nOzE - not unless they changed the API for vote in SM or rewriting it (typicaly bad due from bug perspective).
This goes for a lot of wanted functionality, they added the option for revote at least which could mean that a leading option fails even though unlikely.

Requesting that API show compability for mods would be nice if SM added as to avoid the fact that mods are diffrent

is anyone having issues with this plugin and SM 1.2? After a mapvote is successful and it go to that map it loads it and 1/2 way after the new map is loaded it changes to another map. No clue why, i removed nextmap.smx from the plugins and it still happens.

Im on Jokerz team, and had a clarification question regarding the mapchooser.cfg

What is the real distinction between:
sm_mapvote_include
and
sm_mapvote_showvotes

The default values for these are different and I'm not sure why that would be the case. Currently, we have these values set to "6" and "4" respectively, but I'm wondering what the difference would be if we set both values to "4"

[Nomarky]

Include is the number of maps that are voted on.

When mapvoting is underway, the number of votes cast for each map is shown in ahint box. Showvotes is how many maps to show the votes cast for, if that makes sense.

"sm_mapvote_include"
- Specifies how many maps to include in the vote.

"sm_mapvote_showvotes"
- How many vote options the hint box should show. 0 will disable it

This is happening to me as well, not all the time, but very frequently. I'm running SM 1.1.2 on 5 servers (2 TF2, 1 CS:S, 1 DoD:S, 1 Insurgency), all acting the same way. Seems to happen with custom maps more than stock maps. I guess it isn't registering the votes? This server was full at the time and it did display everyone's vote as well as say "Nextmap: pl_hoodoo":

Update: Going to try sm_mapvote_novote "0" and see if that fixes the issue for me.

Did you get this working mate?

Im having a problem all the voting seems to be working but when the time gets to 0:00 left the map isnt changing?

For example I was on a sniper map were nobody can win, is there a way that when the map timer reaches 0 the map changes based on the vote!

Thanks for your help!
