Installation (Server)
=====================
1) copy the .u, .int and .ini files to the UT\System folder
2) add to the UnrealTournament.ini in section [Engine.GameEngine] the following entry
[Engine.GameEngine]
ServerPackages=MapVoteULv2_3
Configuration
=============
The configuration is done in the file MapVoteULv2_3.ini
Most of the settings can be changed in-game too. If you log in as admin and open the Map Vote you will get an additional Admin Tab.
Make sure about (bReloadMapsOnRequestOnly=True in MapVoteULv2_3.ini) or (Check "Reload Maps on request only" option in Admin tab)
This option can prevent all time maps loading in server side. This option reduce CPU load & faster server restart.
If you added a new map in server click on "Reload Maps" button. It updates map names to "MapListTemp.ini" file.
UPDATE FROM MapVoteULv2_2 TO MapVoteULv2_3
==========================================
In MapVoteULv2_2 the MutatorActorConfig[] has been removed and merged into the CustomGameConfig[].
Remove the MutatorActorConfig[] entries and start the server and do a servertravel. The CustomGameConfig[] settings should now
have been expanded and you can apply the Mutators there.
Starting up Map Vote
====================
Fire up your server and choose "Map Vote Ultimate 2.3" from the Mutator Tab
Hints:
======
* to open the votemenu midgame use the following keybinding: "mutate bdbmapvote votemenu" or say !v (Command Utility installed).
* to adjust color settings for background, boxes, boxes text & titles, open the votemenu then click on "Config" tab to get color configuration.
* to adjust settings in-game log in as admin and open the votemenu, you will get an additional "Admin" tab for configuration.
FAQ: What settings do I need in MapVoteULv2_3.ini?
==================================================
1) Step 1: Loading Maps
-----------------------
For default gametypes there are predefined keys to enable the maps:
bDM=True
bLMS=True
bTDM=True
bDOM=True
bCTF=True
bAS=True
To load cusom gametypes, mutators and settings you can use up to 60 'CustomGameConfig's.
Here some examples to load iDM, iCTF, iAS, RocketArena and Bunnytrack:
DefaultSettings="FriendlyFireScale=0.0"
CustomGameConfig[0]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="Botpack.DeathMatchPlus",NewPrefix="iDM",Mutators="BotPack.InstaGibDM",Settings="")
CustomGameConfig[1]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="Botpack.DeathMatchPlus",NewPrefix="proDM",Mutators="",Settings="FriendlyFireScale=1.0")
CustomGameConfig[2]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="BotPack.CTFGame",NewPrefix="iCTF",Mutators="BotPack.InstaGibDM",Settings="")
CustomGameConfig[3]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="LeagueAS140.LeagueAssault",NewPrefix="iAS",Mutators="BotPack.InstaGibDM",Settings="")
CustomGameConfig[4]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="RocketArena.RocketArenaGame",NewPrefix="")
CustomGameConfig[5]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="BunnyTrack.BunnyTrackGame",NewPrefix="")
* Mind: to distinct Maps with same name but different gametype/mutators/settings you have to change the prefix.
E.g.: to load Deathmatch and Insta-Deathmatch just change the prefix of the Insta-Deathmach to 'iAS'
* Custom Settings:
You can use several custom settings by seperating them with a comma. E.g.: "FriendlyFireScale=1.0,Aircontrol=0.8"
IMPORTANT: If you use custom settings in the CustomGameConfigs you have to make sure those settings get reset to Default for all other maps:
E.g.: DefaultSettings="FriendlyFireScale=0.0,AirControl=0.35"
2) Step 2: Assign the maps to a map list
----------------------------------------
Tell the Map Vote in which list the maps should be displayed. Use the (up to 512 per list) 'List1FilterX[Y]' variables for this.
You can use wildcards in the Filters. Some Examples:
Loading all Assault maps into List 1:
List1Filter[0]=AS-*
Loading AS-Asthenosphere, AS-Bridge and AS-Rook into list 3:
List3Filter[0]=AS-Asthenosphere
List3Filter[1]=AS-Bridge
List3Filter[2]=AS-Rook
Loading all TDM maps into List 4:
List4Filter[0]=TDM-*
Loading all iDM maps into List 8:
List8Filter[0]=iDM-*
Hint: If you have changed some prefixes you can/have to use the new prefixes in the Filters (like iDM for Insta)
Hint: You can use Wildcards. E.g.: DM-A* or *castle*
Q: How do I add a clanlogo into Map Vote (displayed in the middle of the Vote window)?
A: LogoTexture=ClanLogoPackage.TextureName
Make sure the Clanlogo is added to the Server packages as well
Q: Can I use wildcards in the filter?
A: Yes you can. E.g.: List1Filter[0]=AS-B* will filter all AS maps that start with the letter 'B'
Q: What are all the other parameters for?
A: Support forum: http://forum.ultimateut.tk/
