we use that plugin, but have one problem.

 

People dont read the description and vote wrong.

 

Examples:

 

5 -> only mapnumber without /

Metro -> only mapname

 

and so on.

 

I think there are messages in procon console like this:

 

u must type /5 to vote a map.

 

This messages are not present in ingame chat.

 

How can i get those messages in chat?

 

The code must be very simple:

 

if

then

find player that vote

echo " u must type /5 to vote for map"

fi

 

Plz add this to the gamechat.

The message stays in the chat box until another message scrolls it off the screen.........

 

If there were no other messages typed or auto sent it would stay there until the end of the round. It does not 'disappear'.

Yes it does disappear from my screen even if there are no other messages.

Just a guess here, but the BF3 chat box has 3 modes while in-game:

 

1) Show for a few seconds only when a new chat appears

2) Always show

3) Never show

 

The default is number 1.

 

While in game a player can scroll through these 3 choices by tapping their 'H' key. I usually tap 'H' once at the beginning of the round to get it to #2 so the chat box doesn't keep flashing on and off (just a personal preference).

 

Sometimes I will put it on #3 if there is a spammer on the server I'm on.

 

All that being said, as you can see it is user (player) controlled. There is no plugin I'm aware of that will put the chat box in mode #2.

That's the best idea i heard this week. This would be epic.

You are right until today.

With the coming R-20 server release there is an admin.yell command!

Didn't read the R20 server patch notes? Admin.yell is now supported. You can even set server messages with Procon and they show up on round start.

Yes, I'll get onto adding this shortly as an optional replacement for the banner.

Give v1.2.3 a go.

aether, a couple of things for future releases:

 

1) Could be possible enable or disable this plugin by admin command on chat?

2) Set a minimum of votes to set the next map. Ex. less than 5 votes don't set a different map.

The text you want to be displayed must be in quotes, you may not have done that. Plus, I don't know if even done correctly in this plugin's code if it will work.

I went ahead and hacked together a solution real quick. No idea if it will cause any other problems SO USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!!

 

open xVotemap.cs

 

Find:

 

WritePluginConsole("Displayed vote banner", "Work", 3);

this.ExecuteCommand("procon.protected.send", "admin.say", "%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%", "all");

 

AFTER ADD:

 

this.ExecuteCommand("procon.protected.send", "admin.yell", "Please use squad chat to cast your vote for the next map.", "7", "all");

 

Change the message and the time to w/e you desire.

 

ALSO double check to see what the "Enable Vote Banner_" is set to. If you've got it set to ALL the admin.yell will be displayed each time the banner runs.

 

 

Hope this helps someone... glad admin.yell was included and thankful for the plugin.

 

 

EDIT:

 

The text you want to be displayed must be in quotes, you may not have done that. Plus, I don't know if even done correctly in this plugin's code if it will work.

I deleted my previous post because I had figured out the solution before your comment and didn't want to double post. I was missing a comma in my previous attempt.

Tried doing string searches for the map names if they were just loaded into an array or something and easily changeable, no dice (unless I'm mildly pants on head).

 

Thanks!

Your solution does sound amicable though!

On our 32 Server we have about 1-2 people who vote, the rest doesnt look at the Chat.

At least a yell announcement would be nice, the rest of the text is fine in chat to not spam the whole game
