I would like to see the map choices randomized as well. As an admin, I do have the ability to create a scrambled map vote, but this is time consuming and will only work when Im online. The map vote also prevents me from changing weapons. I know I will select "1" for the sole purpose of regaining the weapon switch functionality (especially mid-life and at critical times during the game). I'm willing to bet that I'm not the only player who does this....I think this partly adds to the problem.
I noticed a couple options that might help. I should mention, I have never implemented a Tf2 mod or plugin.This is likely much more complicated than I can imagine. Regardless, I thought I should share what I found:
I believe the new map voting system we have implemented is called:
Ultimate Map Chooser https://github.com/Silenci0/UMC/wiki
Scramble Map Choices: https://github.com/Silenci0/UMC/wiki/VoteCommandsAbout halfway down the list of CVAR settings, I noticed the scramble maps options
// Specifies whether vote menu items are displayed in a random order.
// -
// Default: "0"
// Minimum: "0.000000"
// Maximum: "1.000000"
sm_umc_vc_menuscrambled "0"
I'm not sure what's involved in changing a CVar setting or value. Does anyone have experience with this? Is it as simple as replacing the 0 with a 1 to implement map vote scrambling? If not, what else is required to change this?
NativeVotesPlugin for Ultimate Map Chooser:https://github.com/Silenci0/UMC/wiki/UMCNativeVotesFrom my understanding, this plugin will change the voting keys to the function buttons [F1,F2,F3,F4]. I would really like to see this implemented. I do think this will reduce the number of people spamming 1 in order to remove the vote so they can change weapons.
