Version 1.1.0 released. Added ability to restrict access to !votescramble by overriding 'votescramble'.

Thanks for the plugin! I was curious about an easy way to make a vote ( for various reasons ), and this helped a lot! Nice plugin and thanks again.

G'day McKay!

Quick question about the plugin regarding future development.

I know you said you wouldn't add scrambling/balancing logic and that is not a problem, but is there anyway to add two options via your plugin into the base sm admin menu? One option would allow an admin to force scramble teams immediately, and the next to force scramble at next round start. I'm not against the voting system by any means, but for an example:

One of the servers we offer is a 24/7 CTF map, the map never changes and the round win limit is set rather high, the map time for this server happens to be INSANELY high. In that instance one team may become insanely overpowered while the other extremely underpowered. In that instance we USED to use gscramble to force scramble teams to balance out the teams and fix any stacking that might have taken place.

Is there any possibility that this could be implemented into your plugin while still using Valve logic in the scrambling itself, not trying to change the logic nor remove the voting part of it....but just add a non-voting, FORCED scramble now and FORCED scramble at round end/begin bit of code into your plugin that auto puts itself within the current sm admin menu. Like so perhaps?

Code:
* SM Admin Menu *
   > Player Commands
   > Server Commands
      > Scramble Commands
         "Scramble Immediately"
         "Scramble at Next Round"
   > Voting Commands
Just thought I'd ask since gscramble is giving up problems lately (I am sure you've heard that from plenty of people) and am just scoping out alternatives if nobody can get it working properly again. I think the plugin sounds great and am going to give it a try as I don't think I have ever experienced Valve's stock scramble logic before and never seen how well it performed. Thank you for your time and have a great day!

I tested this last night - observations: the scramble didn't appear to really mix everyone up very well on a 32man server and I guess my question to that is it geared around a stock 24 player server?

Also it said scramble at end of round but you said instantly....is there something I'm missing here cause I'd rather have it instantly.

1. This uses the built-in scrambler. If you don't like it, there's not really anything I can do.

If you want it to scramble instantly, enable the built-in one.

Is anyone else finding that this plugin (or more specifically mp_scrambleteams 2) is resetting the rounds & timelimit?

Further investigation reveals that I'm an idiot.

mp_scrambleteams behaves exactly as advertised - it does not reset the number of rounds played.

I was observing the win counter (scoreboard) and misinterpreting that as the round counter. Internally, the round counter is NOT reset. I also expected the timer not to be reset but that is not the advertised behaviour for mp_scrambleteams 2.
