Voting

**FireAtWill** · 01-08-08, 10:26 AM

Hey ALL,

I wanted to ask the population if there is a way to change the voting options to allow 10 votes (or a majority of people currently playing) and then the most votes determines the next map? Through my MANY hours on the server I am not sure if I have ever seen a successful map vote. Every time one comes up I take the time to stop what I am doing and type "vote" and then vote for a map and then it ALWAYS comes up "not enough votes". I believe that to have a requirement of 15-20 votes is overkill and definately slows play. Maybe that is why so many do not vote is because they don't care because it is always a no-vote and there is no way we would get a required amount.

Just a suggestion.

I believe the setting is to have 50-75% of the people vote to trigger the map change. So if people don't vote It wont change.

Why have a minimum number of votes required at all? I can understand for a votemap command, but for the regular vote that pops up when a map's almost finished, it seems silly to have it at all if it's going to be rejected out of hand.

That and half the time the prompt clears away due to other text popping up on the screen and either people dont know/listen to type in "vote" to bring it back up or the time limit ends (seems like a short time limit...)

I've also noticed that the reported "nextmap" is rarely the actual next map. Makes me wonder if a successful vote would even work correctly.

All of these issues have been brought to our attention. We have also presented these problems in the Mani bug report forum along with many other users.

Mani however is currently uninspired/busy/no freetime and therefore has not addressed any of the issues including many others that you probably haven't even noticed(Ever wonder why the CS server has sounds but the TF2 one doesn't?). This is a Mani problem, not much we can do about it. Other than encourage people who missed the vote to type "vote". You all can help by telling your team to do this, and doing it yourself as well.

Id like to teach this Mani guy a thing or two!

the timer making that tick-tick-tick noise is annoying and I wish the vote menu was left justified rather than centered on the screen - it blends in with everything else in the middle.

Stick it on the left like CSS.
