Not So Ultimate Custom Map Server with UT2Vote

[legacy-CyberManX.com]

ProAsm,

Evidently the array or whatever that holds the map list for UT2Vote is only capable of holding 256 maps in the list. Well my server is currently running 314 maps and growing. Is this something I can modify myself or can you please release a new version soon that can be capable of listing that many maps? I really do not want to have to go with the default map voting.

I think you'll have more luck asking this here:

But nonethelless it's something I'm interested in too, since I'm closing the 256 mark fast.

If you are running that many custom maps, why not simply deselect the 'use maplist' option in ut2vote.

It will then list all maps installed on the server.

NotoriousBIC,

Any chance you can copy this post and paste it there as I noticed you are already registered? I really do not feel like registering yet again for another forum for one post if I don't have to.

I am not using the Maplist feature for the very reason I am running so many custom maps. The UT2Vote window in game will not list more than 256 maps in it. It simply lists up to that amount and then nothing beyond it. However, if say I go through WebAdmin, it does display them all.

Just curious, How much time to you allow players to vote on that many maps? How do you manage that many maps if one does not redirect ?

I allow 45 seconds for voting on a map, which is typically enough time. Mangement wise, its very simple. I always make a compressed copy of the new map and upload to redirect at the same time I upload to my temporary maps folder (so as to not have to worry about downtime). I have yet to run into that problem and if I do its easy to get upload to redirect.

That's sad to see. I now can no longer use UT2Vote. I understand it has to download the map vote lists to the client each time, but normal map vote does not seem to have this problem. Its disappoints this can't be done with UT2Vote though. =(

Welp I broke down and registered because I miss UT2Vote. Here's what I posted in response. Will let you know more as soon as he replies.
