Hello, i am very grateful for the mod. It helps me with every basic gamemodes. But sadly i have a server in a .bat file and for some reason maps like CTF4 and MultiteamCTF and it does not work even if i added the packages of the mod.
And this command "mutate bdbmapvote reload" says i can not use it for some reason.
Is there something i can do? Thanks!

Re: Map Vote Extended - MVE2h
New game types are not automatically detected.
You need to edit MVE_Config and define the new gametypes.
The easiest way is to copy paste an existing one and edit it.
Code: Select all
CustomGame[4]=(bEnabled=True,GameName="Capture the Flag",RuleName="InstaGib",GameClass="Botpack.CTFGame",FilterCode="ctf",bHasRandom=True,VotePriority=1.000000,MutatorList="Botpack.InstaGibDM",Settings="",Packages="",TickRate=0,ServerActors="")
To set up a different gametype you need to set the correct GameClass.
For CTF4 this could be GameClass="CTF4.CTF4Game" but depends on which CTF4 you're using
Here is the modified gametype below
Code: Select all
CustomGame[4]=(bEnabled=True,GameName="Capture the Flag",RuleName="InstaGib",GameClass="CTF4.CTF4Game",FilterCode="ctf",bHasRandom=True,VotePriority=1.000000,MutatorList="Botpack.InstaGibDM",Settings="",Packages="",TickRate=0,ServerActors="")
To run it you need to be logged in as admin.
Code: Select all
adminlogin yoursecretpassword
Code: Select all
set input f9 adminlogin yoursecretpassword
set input f10 mutate bdbmapvote reload
Alternatively a reload can be triggered from the config file MVE_Config if you set
Code: Select all
bReloadOnNextRun=True
After reload this flag is turned off automatically, if you want something more permanent:
Code: Select all
bReloadOnEveryRun=True
BUT: while map list reload is running the server will LAG out, you don't want this to be permanently enabled.
It's meant only to make setting things up easier in the beginning.
To get the most out of this mapvote, you'll need to familiarize yourself with MVE_Config.ini
Out of the box you get an example with all classic gametypes and mutators, as a way of showing off what it can do and to get you quickly started.
But it's meant to be customized to your needs.
Always make small changes and test it.
Once you got a good config, make a backup of it.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
Re: Map Vote Extended - MVE2h
If you use Notepad++ to edit your config files then this may be useful to you.
I've put together a small configuration for a user defined language for Notepad++
It has a delimitation of key-values, brackets and parenthesis and it also
identifies known mapvote configuration properties.
1. Download and extract the zip 2. Open notepad++ and goto Language > User Defined Language > Define your language...
3. Import the extracted xml file

Re: Map Vote Extended - MVE2h
I think you got "User Defined Language selected under Language options, make sure that's on the XML file.
When i select a different one, i get the black selection you posted in your screenshot.
Make sure you imported the *.xml file, and then it should be selectable in the dropdown menu.
You might want to enable darkmode under Settings>Style Configurator;
Re: Map Vote Extended - MVE2h
Yes, the colors chosen were assuming that you were using a dark theme.
And the default styling comes with an override for a dark background.
I've updated my previous post with a better version.
Please take a look at "Map Vote Extended Notepad++ v2.zip"
The color styling is now theme agnostic, it should be more compatible with light and dark themes.
However to achieve this the colors are more muted.
If you need more contrast you will have to edit the colors yourself.
