Mapvote on a non-dedicated server.

[JackDeth]

If someone could help me here, it would be greatly appreciated. I host LAN parties with UT3 being one of the main games we play. I would love to enable mapvote so everyone can pick the map we want to play, but don't know how. I am not running a dedicated server and don't want to spend all the time to setup and configure one just to get mapvote working. I have searched the internet and can't find anything about enabling mapvote on a non-dedicated server and if someone has directions to set it up, I would be very greatful.
Thanks,
Jack

Regarding configuration, a dedicated and a listen server (non-dedicated; someone is playing with the same instance of UT3) there is no difference. I would recommend to enable/install the WebAdmin interface for a listen server as well. Another guy can minimize the game and administrate (switching gamemodes, switching maps, adding mutators, etc.). IF the one with the server is minimizing the game, others will have lags on their systems, probably.

To enable mapvote:
Open the ini file "UTVote.ini". Browse to the section "[UTGame.UTVoteCollector]" and set "bMidGameVoting" and "bAllowMapVoting" to "true".

[UTGame.UTVoteCollector]
bMidGameVoting=True
bAllowMapVoting=True

Thanks SN4K3! The main problem I had was that I didn't know where to find the UTVote.ini file. Once I found it, and made that change, it works great!
