Problems with Map voting Setting up

[NakedApe]

To fix this you need to find out the GameType and MapList class of your mod.

Then look at the following thread which should give you an idea of what you need to put in you INI: http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums...hlight=MapList

You might also take a look at a mutator called UT2Vote49 which may be able to do what you want.

Are the maps for your AS mod called ASMOD-whatever then put Prefix=ASMOD in the vote config for that mode. The part of the map name before the first hyphen (-) is the map prefix and setting Prefix of a vote mode tells xVotingHandler to only display maps with this prefix in the list of maps to vote for.

This is described in the tutorial.

No it isn't. It tells you how to configure map voting. You can do this via the webadmin too if you want, the same info is relevant. There is no way to configure map voting within the GUI.

If you have a mod that doesn't use a special map prefix (e.g. CTF4- or JB-) you're only way to show only a selection of maps is maplists.

All this is covered by the tutorials on UA.

ITs for a listen server .. i have all the maps in the right folders i dont know what the options r in map voting game configuration .... "Game title" i put Assault MOD.."game class "assault"....Abberviation <<no idea what that is .... Map prefixes <<<< no idea ither...Parameters i dont need.....i know if i want just the game maps that come on the cd it does it its self.. i tryed to change it but its all goes like what i put in last post...Thanks if you can help more.

do you mean for instant action or for running a listen server (or something along those lines),
i thought for instant action you could create/ save map lists and have those be for your current map rotation. But depending on what map list you select is what will show up.
I thought this was basically the same for online as well, so i think you may need to make sure both lists contain the same maps ie the downloaded and standard maps, otherwise you will only get the certain ones to show up.
i think, i am merely speculating but would assume it would work along those lines....i will do further checking when i get home tonight and post more info if i find something different from what i said.
