Map Vote Extended - MVE2h

[asosed]

Yo. Can you do option in ini to change the name "Info" tab? I want to change "Info" to "Rules"

Hi! I would like to ask you what would you like to accomplish with the tab rename?

I'm asking because there will be multiple changes regarding this feature. If I know the motivation behind the request then even if I don't implement your suggestion I might do something to be able to accomplish it. But there also might be a different feature that would possibly better accomplish what you are trying to do.

If I were to implement your suggestion I would remove the secondary menu bar at the bottom and covert all the pages under the info tab into tabs for better visibility. And then yes, I would make the tabs more configurable. But as it is right now the info tab groups multiple pages and it would be incorrect to group them all under a "Rules" tab.

ah, ok. I need the "Rules" tab (preferably at the top, before the info tab). Inside this tab, I would put the url with the rules

Okay then the goal here is to have more visibility for the rules content which you configure.

Yes, I don't see a better way to show players the rules of the server and the game than in a mapvote

Hi man,

I'm also having problems with the "Aliases", i edited the original file that comes in your zip "MVE2g-v1"
it recognizes the "Aliases" from MutatorList="", but the "Aliases" from Settings="" it doesn't recognize...

Looks like I'll have to take a look at aliases as well! Thanks for the report. I think it does not work for all properties of mapvote only for some part of them. But the expectation is to work for all off them.

Release: MVE2h
Download at top of thread!

- Map list transfer control has been optimized so that clients no longer need
to load the map list every time a new match starts. This eliminates unwanted
lag at be beginning of the match or every time a player rejoins. This also
eliminates unwanted lag when spectating players. Special thanks goes to
ProAsm here who allowed me to pick his brain on complicated subjects and
patiently answered all my questions.

- Fixed a bug where random map has always chosen the same map. There is
also a new random map algorithm which will prefer choosing a map where
the player count is within the `IdealPlayerCount` as defined by the mapper.
At it's core the choice is still random, and the data in maps is not
reliable but in practice this avoid switching to a 16 player map when there
are only 2 players and it will also avoid switching to a 2 player map when
the server has 16 players.

- The `bAvoidRandom` configuration property has been removed as since `MVE2g`
MVE will only ever choose a random map from the current gametype.

- When browsing throught the list of maps, the selected game mode, rule
and map is saved to disk and restored next time when the map vote client
opens. On servers with a lot of game modes and maps this will helps players
to be able to quickly re-vote their last vote or to continue the search for
the map they want.

- Improved the welcome experience. If a `ServerInfoURL` is configured then
`bWelcomeWindow` can be enabled. This will cause the web page located at
`ServerInfoURL` to be shown to newly joining players. If this is enabled then
on second join a map vote key-binder window will also be shown to players
who do not have a keybind for map vote.

Here is how the keybinder looks:

keybinder-window.png

- Map vote status titles and map list status list box have been adjusted
to stretch across the whole screen. Thank you Deepu for this contribution.

Here is how the new version looks with adjusted layout:

map-vote-screen.png

- The `bFirstRun` configuration property has been removed and can be deleted
safely from config files.

- The `ClientPackage` configuration value has been deprecated and will be
removed. This means you no longer have to manually update it. As long as
`bOverrideServerPackages` is enabled MVE will also automatically inject
the correct version of the package to ServerPackages.

- MVE now includes protection against lag spikes caused by queries when
.int files are missing or are misconfigured. This is enabled by default
but can be disabled with setting `bFixMutatorsQueryLagSpikes` to false.
I'm hoping that this will save headaches for server admins, as I have spent
the last December and January testing and debugging this issue. Special
thanks goes to Buggie who made me fully understand the problem.

- MVE will now log every time it performs a map switch. If the sever switches
maps and you don't know why it happened you will now know if it was MVE
or something else responsible.

- Optimized tagged map list reload to use less jump instructions. We've hit a
limit at around ~700 tagged maps where the map list reload will trigger the
infinite loop detection when using map tags. When this happens the maps
reload will crash. The problem is not fully fixed yet but the optimization
does help.

- Fix merge multiple map tag entries for same map. Previosly the entries
overwrote each other, but from now on they will be merged instead.

- Fixed broken support link in the information page.

Huge significant performance improvements!
