Give members access to change mission vote?

[napalm22]

Sometimes the server crashes and we end up on a mission we just played. Could members be given the privilege to start a change mission vote?

[specialk]

I think it sounds like a great idea , the problem is some people might take advantage of it, I would not mind trying this out for about a month and see how it turns out.

[Desterion]

Could do it like a scramble, where you need 3 members to initiate a changemap vote.

[radical187]

I think it should be more than 3 members, maybe 5-10 or so. I understand having it around for after a server crash, but what about when its just a regular campaign switch and only a few people dont want to play said campaign?

Mapvote, the new alternative to votescramble...

[General]

Yeah this sounds like a swell idea, I hate having to continuously play Dead Center.

[Biggs]

Well, if we want to make it requiring 5 people, should just have the command open to any player.. this would basically be a !rtv command...

That's why its a vote. You need a majority of people to vote for the change. This feature is already built in to L4D2, its just disabled on the GC server.

OR perhaps we have the crashes fixed.

Do I see endless parish and no mercy? Why yes jykri, yes you do.

[Times138]

I gotta hand it to my boy SK, I agree with him.

[MasterTalpa]

Do I see endless parish and no mercy? Why yes jykri, yes you do.

That's all what people in the server want to play, and I want to do other campaigns. These two are starting to get boring

[cecurity]

!rtv with majority rule would work. If we want to see less No Mercy and Parish, we can limit to only two random map options, plus a stay course option in case both options are sh*tty.

 

Never like swamp fever nor cold stream, don't mind seeing them less often

[Madvillain]

Perhaps a way for members to pull up a map change vote but some how limit it to maps that haven't been played for 3-4 rounds or just a random map will load if the vote passes.

 

Less No Mercy please..... I still love that map but I am sick of logging on and that's whats playing.

While my servers were stable when sky gaming closed down, back when stability was an issue, I implemented a little thing where two things would be saved, in case of server crash:

 

the current scores of both teams, and the current map.

In the event of a crash, when the system booted up, it would read the database and see that these values weren't null, and would immediately switch to that map and set those scores.

The other method, if databases aren't your flavour, is to simply save the values to a text file. If the file is blank, the script will simply leave things as they are.

 

It's a relatively easy option, and if you sound interested in that, I've no problem linking the code that represents that functionality.

I think a lot of people would be interested in that. Jackie would be the one to implement it though.
