how to make game modes votable

Now I realize your server.cfg isn't based on the example server.cfg... Shouldn't matter. Add this line to your cfg:

Code:

log_file "server.log"

. Then quit the server, start it, and the log should be in server.log in your data directory.

If i try to write "vcall gametype ctf" or "vcall ctf" i get "This command is not acceptable"

You haven't said anything about other votes. Have you tried voting for other game modes? vcall 1v1dm or vcall minsta. Also double check everything. I accidently deleted a " once and didn't realize it. My server was going haywire and drove me nuts. Such a small mistake caused so much trouble.

I tried more commands and i still have to exec UNvotes.cfg from my serer again.

I dont get any server.log in my data folder

Are you even modifying the right server.cfg file? Put a quit line in your server.cfg file and see if your server quits on startup.

How do I modify this so I can limit the game mode voting to dm, tm, ft only with 20 player slots?

What do you mean with the player slots?

You can restrict the game mode voting by removing the addvote lines that don't match commands that you want votable.

Ok I ran a test server and was only ableto vote on Maps. But I was the only one playing with bots. There was no option to vote on game style.


Here's my test cfg file.

What I want to do is map voting and voting for dm, tdm, ft.

// change them to your liking.

//sv_public 1 // 0 if the server should not be on the public servers list
//sv_status_privacy 1 // 1 hides IP addresses from "status" replies shown to clients, 0 shows them. Enables players to identify wellknown punks on your server OR is a thread to anonymity.. depending on your point of view

Does the server startup log show any errors? Can you tell me what the contents of the sv_vote_commands cvar are? (Just type sv_vote_commands in the server console or in a rcon session)

Does the "addvote" command even work at all? In a working server configuration that also allows for voting game modes I got the aliases for the game mode just as in the example above and then I got a line like

sv_vote_commands "duel assault ca ..."

In your example this line is commented out with "//". Maybe you try using sv_vote_commands to list all the possible votes instead of "addvote"?

Yeah, addvote works on the unconnected servers.

Unknown command "g_powerup_strength"
Saving persistent data...
done!

I have no 0.6.0 release, so I cannot test it with your version.

Another issue with these vote aliases g_powerup_strength cvar does not exist anymore - strength is combined with shield and jetpack in g_powerups.
Use g_powerups 0 to disable and g_powerups -1 to set to default.

To add only votes for dm, tdm and freezetag...
You can just add these 4 lines at the end of your server-ft.cfg - instead of all these aliases and addvote commands you dont want anyway.

Code:

alias dm    "gametype dm;          endmatch"
alias tdm   "gametype tdm;         endmatch"
alias ft   "gametype freezetag; endmatch"

addvote "dm tdm ft"

Keep in mind that sv_vote_commands must be set before addvote commands - otherwise you overwrite the commands you set before

I have cleaned your posted server-ft.cfg (removed comments and commented cvars) and added the needed votes (and some tips): http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=1JuuQafN

Now I have to add, that I also share a bunch of server configs: https://github.com/itsme-/server.configs (files offer everything you need...)

You can just drop these into your data folder and
use http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=18vpvSTz as your server-ft.cfg

Tested here with a 0.6 codebase (not release, but compiled from 0.6 sources). Your server-ft.cfg works for me.

Can you add this line at the end of your server-ft.cfg?

Code:

sv_vote_commands

That's without any arguments. That way we can see what sv_vote_commands is when the server config is done.

Does a config come with Xonotic actually (this?)? Should be cleaned up then, cause I can see Infection too (0.1 era).

I think maybe its me misunderstanding the system.

Are the game votes done though the console using commands or are they suppose to show once a game ends and the map votes appears and are voted on like I've seen on Nexuiz?


So what I have now is on the main server with the stock cfg file the game is set to DM though the cfg file and the maps are chosen randomly.

On the test server cfg I inserted the lines posted in the first post, the game is still DM but when a game ends players can vote on the map they want to play. Are they suppose to be able to also select the game type or is this done by say me though the console?

Thanks.

Ok I get it now. Had to do some searching on the forums.

vcall alias will trigger the vote.

So this

Code:

alias tourneysettings "fraglimit_overide 0; g_tourney 1; minplayers 0; teamplay_mode 2"

typed into the "in game console" (click the ~ key on the keyboard to bring up the game console)

Code:

vcall tourneysettings

would trigger a vote for the above settings.

The Console

Games generally have a great many settings which can be changed or tweaked to give you the best advantage. A lot of these aren't included in the game menus, which are limited by space and intended to give only a quick and compact view of the most important options. For all the other variables, you have the in-game console. This is like a command line inside the game, even with tab completion! You can enter commands to connect to a server, vote for options on the server, or to change variables like your name or various graphic effects. You can access the console by pressing shift-escape, and you can close it again by pressing escape. Lots of info is available on the official Xonotic forum regarding the effective use of the console, but probably the most important in multiplayer is using it for voting, which will be briefly covered here:

When you are on a server, open the console and type vhelp. This will display a short help regarding voting, and also tell you what can be voted on the server. By default, things you can vote for include the time limit and the map played. By entering vcall endmatch you call a vote to end the current map and to play the next one. Or, as another example, vcall gotomap xoylent will start a vote to switch to the map 'Xoylent'. Note that you won't have to write the full map name, the server will check if there is only one possible completion and, if yes, complete the command accordingly (so vcall gotomap xoy would do the same trick unless there's another map present on the server beginning with xoy). The vote gets printed to every player on the server, who can then accept or reject it. To accept a vote, press F1 (or type in cmd vote yes into console); to reject it, press F2 (or enter cmd vote no into console). If enough players accept the vote you called, the action you voted for will be executed. It does not hurt to tell people to press F1/F2, as some might not know about it.

Now is there a way like I've seen in Nexuiz to have the game type choices available after map selection when a new game starts?

Where have you seen this in nexuiz? Because I'm not aware of such a possibility.

EDIT: If it's after map selection, that wouldn't make much sense at all. Not all maps support all game modes.

Its in the Rocket Minsta version some of the servers had it set up like that. I just tired one out and it had the game selection after map selection.

I believe the game type selection that are not available for the map are grayed out.

I found another thread about it here http://forums.xonotic.org/showthread.php?pid=24339

You would have to contact the server admins (EDIT: I guess Akari, based on your thread), because I'm not aware of them sharing the code for this. It must be a custom mod.

Ok so discovered another issue Ihave Minsta+Hook set. In order to be able to vcall ft (freezetag) I have to set freezetag as the default gamemode. If I set the gametype dm in server.cfg then when I type in vcall ft the game restart but it goes back to dm and not freezetag.

Main reason I want to use dm as when the freezetag game start and there's only one person/bot you get frozen right away after choosing the team but you can vall fr and restart the game with out being frozen. Gettign frozen will confuse new players if they don't know how to change game modes.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

What does the server log show when you vcall ft? The part I need is from the moment the vote is received until the next map starts.
