[TF2][REQ] Anti vote spam

Tike · **Author**

Hi,

Is there some plugin that makes it so you can't spam map vote changes i.e. one has to play 3 rounds on the map till a new vote can be made.

Thanks,
Tike

By 3 rounds, do you mean any 3 rounds or did you mean 3 map resets (i.e. going all the way through a multi-round map before it counts as one round)?

3 Map resets, sorry if I didn't give alot or enough info. Or even just something customizable.

This doesn't block the NextLevel vote, but it does block the ChangeLevel vote until (by default) round 4.

Edit 2: Now blocks both votes.

It should auto-create a config file cfg/sourcemod/votedelay_changelevel.cfg.

This should work in both TF2 and CS:GO.

A lot of the code for this is lifted from my NativeVotes plugin, specifically from version 1.0.0 beta 4.

(btw, I assumed you meant the built-in game votes as opposed to rtv and the like).

This depends on sdktools in order to detect if we're in Warmup mode on CS:GO.

Edit: Actually, this should also block the NextLevel vote because Valve made it so that if the nextlevel cvar is set, it will change maps as soon as the current round ends... give me a sec.

Edit 2: Updated.

I seem to have a problem. I can still vote for new maps right after the map changed. Thanks alot for now though. I really appreciate your help

How exactly is it supposed to work if I may ask?

Whoops, I forgot about this.

Wow, I feel dumb. I was just looking for the code to answer your previous question and I noticed I hooked the "vote" command instead of the "callvote" command.*

Try this instead.

Anyway, the general logic of the plugin:

The plugin keeps a counter of what round it is. This is incremented when a round ends... unless votedelay_changelevel_fullrounds is true and the event's "full_round" value is false.
The counter resets to 1 on map change (remember: This counter is only incremented when the round ends)
The callvote command checks for ChangeLevel and NextLevel votes. If it IS one of those votes and the current round is >= votedelay_changelevel_rounds, it returns the "vote is disabled" message and prints to their chat window why it's disabled.

If I were to turn this into a full plugin, I'd probably want to change that into a translation phrase.

* Part of the reason I feel stupid is that I'm the person who documented how the TF2 vote system works internally and wrote the NativeVotes plugin based on my findings. NativeVotes exposes a SourcePawn interface for the vote system to SourceMod plugins. Version 1.0.0 beta 4 even handles the callvote interface and allows plugins to register votes that can appear in it.

The next version of both Nominations Extended and RockTheVote Extended actually hook some of these by default if the next version of NativeVotes is loaded. Nominations Extended hooks NextLevel and ChangeLevel, while RockTheVote Extended hooks ChangeLevel and RockTheVote.

Thanks for doing all this hassle, I'm testing it at the moment.

Well, the error is missing from that message (it's one more line up), but I can tell what the error is... I apparently copied the name of the L4D/L4D2 property instead of the TF2/CSGO one.

So, here's another version.
