I'm still not sure if it's working quite right. It does change maps to what was voted for, however it changes the map as soon as voting is over. And it seems like the vote is very short, like 30-45 sec or something. Also it seems like it cuts off the last 5 mins or so of the current map. Shouldnt the map that was voted for start after the current map finishes on it's regular run time at the regular mapchange? I dont know, just seems a little weird to me, maybe it's correct. Just seems weird so close to the end of a map. If voting started like at the 15min mark then I could understand it changing before the map finished but the vote is near the end of a regular map cycle, like the last 5 min or so. And isnt there a way to start a vote during gameplay other than waiting for the vote to come up at the end of the map by typing in mapvote? I dunno, atleast it seems to be working.

/me :shrugs:

Thanks for everyones hard work & time on this matter. d(^.^)

just switched maps in the middle of rock2 to 2fart disconnecting me...restarting?

For some reason I read that, "'sounds like the server is retarted."...

...Jiggly still hasn't gotten my PM with the plugin and instructs, so yeah... Hang in there a bit longer.


Out of curiosity, were there a lot bots on one team at the time? I've seen an all-bot team on Well kill the server a few times now, wonder if Rock2 has a similar issue.

BTW (admins) Ye can control the bots on the server if you have access to amx_cvar:

• amx_cvar bot "kickall"
- kicks all the bots (they may rejoin if you don't change one of the following:)
• amx_cvar bot "min_bots #"
- where # is the min number of players bots will allow per team before joining it
• amx_cvar bot "max_bots #"
- Where # is the max bots on the server, set -1 to stop extra bots spawning, but still allow adding of bots manually
• amx_cvar bot "addbot"
- adds a bot, provided max_bots will allow
• amx_cvar bot "addbot [team] [class] [name] [skill]"
- adds a bot to [team] (1=blue 2=red) of [class] (1-9, 1=scout ... 9=engineer, etc. as on the class menu.) with [name] (must not contain spaces), and [skill] (1-5) - all parameters are optional.

The quotes are required.

I've not yet figured a way to stop bots from autobalancing between the teams. It seems this is a feature in newer versions of Foxbot, although those seem designed for use with NeoTFC. *shrug*

Wrote a new one, although it's not as flexible as the standard, as it uses a fixed set of maps (reason for this is I don't trust our AMX is parsing Linux carriage returns correctly in line-input files, based on some of its odd behavior). It's also limited in that it can only display about 20 maps - although it could be tweaked to do more, so long as the map list did not execede 1280 characters - then ya need a multi-step menu or somethin.

No, mapmenu.amx is a seperate standard plugin. mapchooser.amx is a standard plugin that normally lets players pick a map at the end of the round, this replaces that.

PS. Jigglypuff has still not checked his messages - nor has he responded to IM's. :\ Hope he wasn't kidnapped by aliens.
