Try this. Also you will want to disable the regular vote for changing difficulty so noone can still use the other.

"Votes"
{
	"advancedlevel"
	{
		"title"		"Change difficulty to Advanced?"
		"type"		"confirm"
		"delay"		"600"
		"command"	"z_difficulty "Hard""
		"trigger"
		{
			"command"	"voteadvanced"
			"notice"	"%u wants to change the difficulty."
			"count"		"1"
		}
	}
	"expertlevel"
	{
		"title"		"Change difficulty to Expert?"
		"type"		"confirm"
		"delay"		"600"
		"command"	"z_difficulty "Impossible""
		"trigger"
		{
			"command"	"voteexpert"
			"notice"	"%u wants to change the difficulty."
			"count"		"1"
		}
	}
}

getting this error
[SM] [NL]lHEROlDanny^Col wants to change the difficulty [1/1 votes]
[SM] [NL]lHEROlDanny^Col: Initiated a vote.
[SM] Console: Cancelled the vote.
still trying.... but nothing pops up... and it is
"z_difficulty Impossible" and not "z_difficulty "Impossible"" the last one will block it and votes wont work anymore...

[jameless]

Do you have any other plugins running that handle voting or permissions for voting?

[Danny_l4d]

only votemanager for the inbuild voting of l4d...

[jameless]

Yea I believe that votemanager is what is blocking this vote. Perhaps try disabling it for a moment and see if the vote works. If so you will want to look at your votemanager settings to see how you can allow this vote to work. I would also advise looking at votemanager 2. It is a continuation of the original and from what I hear a much better version.

[Danny_l4d]

I have votemanager2.... but I will disable this plugin and see what it does... I get back to you

Ummm i have a questions:
Early today in my server some people wanted to change the map, i told them to type !votemenu in chat to get a list of votes including changemap, so they did and they started a vote and it worked and all, only problem is that only their team could see the vote...my team didnt even get to vote or see the vote at all....help?

[jameless]

Yea the votemenu is broken in this plugin and the original developer never got around to fixing it. I would use the other version that Mundo put up that removes the votemenu altogether. Unfortunately the votemenu allows any player to start a vote and win it without anyone else voting along. This makes it very bad if you use voteban. A troll could essentially ban everyone joining the server if no admins were around to stop him.

[Algebraic!]

OH....well thats good to know! Ill upload the new version...for future reference how does one start a vote without the menu?
Also, i have another problem, when we do a vote-nextmap and it passes, the map does change....is this related to the menu aswell?
EDIT:
Where is the version with no menu? i cant find it...

Whoops sorry Wazz I accidentally said Mundo's version.

@Algebraic!: The version in my quote is the one I use with the votemenu stripped out. The command to run a vote is sm_cvote "votename". Also you can add a trigger to any vote that will allow someone to type in whatever you choose to call the vote. For a while we had a votesniper that disabled sniper altogether on our orange server.

You mentioned the vote-nextmap, what does a player need to type in chat to call the vote? Can you post the code you are using for that vote? If it uses the changelevel command instead of sm_setnextmap that would explain why it's changing it instantly. Unless you are talking about RTV? That's a separate plugin built into sourcemod. There is a way to keep it from changing instantly that I can tell you but let's figure out which vote you are using first.
