Hello,

can you convert a plugin that uses buildvote for nativevote please?

How can I utilize this extension for an existing plugin such as Funvotes?

I tried installing it in the extension folder and putting the include file in the include folder, editing the plugin source to include the builtinvotes, and then recompiling it. I then ran the game (left 4 dead) but it still uses the sourcemod menu for the fun votes. What did I miss?

This extension is dead. Use NativeVotes instead.
NativeVotes has a slightly different API, but it tries to be closer to the basic Menu API than BuiltinVotes does.

Having said that, you're aware that BuiltinVotes and NativeVotes have their own APIs? They're not quite drop-in replacements. The NativeVotes MapChooser is probably a good example of this when compared to the SourceMod MapChooser.

Yeah I had seen that about nativevotes but wanted to give this one a try. So this extension doesn't work at all anymore? I get this:

No I wasn't aware (any screenshots?). Maybe I just don't comprehend how this is supposed to work. Based on what I read, this extension and the plugin let you use the in-game vote panel instead of the sourcemod panel for plugin related votes, right? Or at least that is what I'm trying to do. If that's what it is, what I have to do? If it's not that, then I don't get it. I tried both the extension and the plugin, but I saw no difference (just the sourcemod vote panel).

BuiltinVotes and NativeVotes aren't drop-in replacements for the SourceMod voting system. They have their own commands... things like NativeVotes_Create instead of CreateMenu and NativeVotes_AddItem instead of AddMenuItem, etc...

Note that Yes/No votes will do nothing for NativeVotes_AddItem... L4D and L4D2 (and now CS:GO thanks to Valve meddling) only support Yes/No votes in their builtin/native vote screens.

The NativeVotes thread is supposed to have a guide for porting plugins from the SourceMod Vote system to the NativeVotes system in the second post, but it looks like I never wrote it (whoops).

I think I get it now. So basically you'd have to code a plugin to use the commands of either the extension or plugin, and have the extension/plugin included in a plugin before it compiling right?

Also, I'm using sourcemode 1.4.7. Reason being is because some of the plugins I have for left 4 dead don't work with SM 1.5.

SourceMod 1.5.x is fully backwards compatible with 1.4.x.

Except for extensions that use UserMessages because IUserMessages changed between 1.4.x and 1.5.x.

WHY GOD WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: updated builtinvotes.inc attached to this post

@canadianjeff, I see you are using my file builtinvotes.inc . Rather the problem is in your plugin, in the header file everything is correct. You could create an 'Issue' on github for a solution. Because few people know about the existence of this version!
