xVotemap v1.3.1

EDIT: No, I don't think that it will cover all the bases. The addition of "Superiority" to the ConvertGamemodeToShorthand() method is certainly needed, but to get rid of the error I am getting, change the line in SetVoteStartAndEndTimes() that says

 

if (m_strCurrentGameMode.Contains("Conquest") || m_strCurrentGameMode.Contains("DeathMatch") || m_strCurrentGameMode.Contains("Domination"))

 

and add Superiority to it:

 

if (m_strCurrentGameMode.Contains("Conquest") || m_strCurrentGameMode.Contains("DeathMatch") || m_strCurrentGameMode.Contains("Domination") || m_strCurrentGameMode.Contains("Superiority"))

 

Disclaimer: These are all guesses! I don't have any players on the server yet to test this. All I know at this point is that I no longer see the error message. YMMV!

works it?

I'm not sure. It gets rid of the error in the log, but I just saw it report that the winning vote was Alborz mountain tank superiority, but the map that was loaded was death Valley squad rush. :-( I think the TS mode breaks it.

I have the vote open to 6 to choose from but only see two maps to choose from. 1 through 3 would be like valley and 3 through 6 would be like desert with different gametypes, but before the upgrade I used to get a mix of maps.

I'm running AK Conquest Large maps. I've uploaded Hand of Shadows votemap file to my Procon layer host and restarted that, but I don't think that supports AK maps yet. I'm seeing the same errors as LumpyNutz.

 

Any ideas welcomed, or, if this plugin is no longer supported, are there suggestions of an alternative map voting system?

http://procon.h--o--s.net/xVotemap/xVotemap.cs

 

1. Click link above

2. Highlight everything and copy

3. Then open up a copy of your current xVotemap.cs file (If you don't want to lose what's in this file back up your current xVotemap.cs first).

4. Then Delete everything in your current xVotemap cs file

5. Paste what you copied from Hand of Shadow link

6. Save file

7. Then FTP file to your procon layer, restart procon layer

8. You should be good to go.

 

This will work for all gametypes and maps

 

This is what I did..

I'm now suspicious that my issue may be with the hosted layer service, rather than just the plugin. When I look at the file dates and size via ftp on the hosted layer service, I can see many are much older than those running locally on my PC client. I can't see a way to force a layer hosting service update remotely as I only have ftp access through a GSP's control panel that allows restart or the ftp file management.

 

I've just managed to find reference to the BF3.def file in procon's configs folder and am hoping that upload of that to the layer host and restart will achieve something. Otherwise I'll have to contact my GSP to make sure the PRocon Layer host is current.

bf3.def simply copied from my recently updated local PC procon client to the layer hosting service via ftp and restarted that host.

I think it would be better to give a price for the plugins, so no one would leave.
