Rock The Vote
Version 1.4

By: ferret!

Description

This plugin is a standalone RTV plugin. It does not provide an end-of-map vote (1), nor nextmap functionality (2).

Players can say rtv or rockthevote to initiate the process. When enough votes have been cast, a menu will appear for players to choose the nextmap. At the end of that vote, the map will change. The menu consists of 4 map options and a fifth option, "Keep Current Map".

The 4 map options are chosen at random unless players have nominated maps. A player can nominate by simply saying "nominate". They will be displayed a menu with available maps to choose. 4 nominates per map are allowed, first come first serve. A player can only nominate once.

The nomination list comes from addons/sourcemod/configs/maps.ini if it exists. Otherwise, your normal map cycle file will be used.

Commands

• sm_rtv_addmap <mapname>
  • Adds a map to the next RTV vote. This is like a console version of nominate, but can be used repeatedly and by rcon or a config file. If you add too many maps, it pushes the oldest ones off. Each time you add a map in this method, it will lower the number of nominatable maps as well.

Cvars

• sm_rtv_needed
  • Controls how many votes are needed to begin.
  • Default value is 0.60 (60%)
  • Range is 0.05 (5%) to 1.0 (100%)
• sm_rtv_file
  • Specify a map list to use for RTV. This is relative to the Sourcemod folder
  • Default is "configs/maps.ini" (That is, addons/sourcemod/configs/maps.ini)
• sm_rtv_maps
  • Specifies how many maps to have in the vote, and how many nominations as a result.
  • Default value is 4.
  • Range is 2 to 6.
• sm_rtv_minplayers
  • Sets the required players online before RTV can begin
  • Default value is 0.
  • Range is 0 to 64
• sm_rtv_nominate
  • Turns the nominate command on and off
  • Default is 1, on.
  • Set to 0 to turn off.

Change Log

  • Removed LANG_SERVER wherever possible.
  • Added sm_rtv_minplayers cvar
  • Added sm_rtv_nominate cvar

• Version 1.3 (July 1st)
  • Added new cvar, sm_rtv_maps. This lets you control the number of maps in the vote. It also acts as the nomination limit. See above.
  • RTV is now delayed by 30 seconds on map start. Players must wait that long until trying to start it (New phrase, get the translation file!)
  • Votes needed is now recalculated each time a player connects or disconnects, rather than the first time someone says "RTV". If someone disconnects, causing the votes to be higher than the needed value, RTV will begin.

Please note that I wrote this at work, because I was bored and I'm waiting for someone to finish some documentation. Therefore, it has NOT been tested on a live server. I can 100% gaurentee that it compiles with the latest SourceMod build. I can 99% gaurentee it actually works, because I'm awesome. But there's a 1% chance that I'm not awesome.

Guess you are not awesome ;)

Fixed both.

[Hell Phoenix]

No errors but now nominate doesnt show any maps, and the vote doesnt display although if you type in nominate after you rtv, it says you cant nominate because the vote has already been rocked.

[ferret]

Empty menus, or no menu at all?

[ferret]

New test version up. Fixed three things, may have resolved everything you described.

[Hell Phoenix]

Works like a champ now! Just a quick question...didnt look through the code but does the nominate go to the regular mapvote too (non-rtv)? Im assuming not but that would be cool to do.

[ferret]

No. They are seperate. RTV and MapChooser are meant to provide two basic functions seperately, for people who like things lightweight and small.

They aren't meant to be a big huge Deagle's style map management system. More like "plug and play" features.

[Hell Phoenix]

Thats what I figured...thanks!
