Not order, but allow choose some name and later vote by find in list, via search function.

nice additions..

would it be complicated to implement a random vote system where by if the last game was CTF and no0ne voted then votesys would select a random CTF map?
instead of going full on exotic and voting for a totally random GameType?

This could be in conflict with DefaultPreset in VoteSys ini. The way it functions right now is by setting DefaultPreset=Category/PresetName. And if nobody votes, VoteSys will switch to that preset.

It could be possibly implemented by Deaod if you've set DefaultPreset empty. This is just an idea, but the scenario would be like this: When CTF map from Preset #3 ends and nobody votes, if DefaultPreset empty, it will remember the last map and what preset it was on, then it will auto-switch to a random map from Preset #3.

Ill do this for the next version.

tell him to look in VoteSys.ini in his System folder
[9:58 PM]
under [ClientSettings] there should be a location for the menu (edited)
[9:58 PM]
in X and Y
[9:58 PM]
setting those to 0 might help

Dark Theme UI

[Psychomorph]

Can I use this to vote maps in the Infiltration (v2.9) mod, so that it loads maps properly within the mod and not just opens it as UT?

Is there a key bind to open VoteSys in-game?

[Deaod]

I dont know the Infiltration mod, so i cant answer your first question.

VoteSys does not automatically rebind your keys. You can use the console commands mutate votemenu or mutate bdbmapvote votemenu to open it. If you bind either of those commands to a key you have a keybind. The latter console command is there for compatibility with other mapvote mutators. I suggest binding that one to a key.

UTCmds also has a !v text command that in turn executes mutate bdbmapvote votemenu.
