RoAR Assault and MapVote

[swag]

EDIT: This is for the ut2k3 version of mapvote.

There is a problem with using your MapVote package with RoAR Assault. I do not know if Doc has contacted you or whatever but just in case he hasn't ...

When the first map (first being the VERY first when the server starts) goes through the first round it seems to call a vote but does not show the hud. However, you can still toggle it and make a selection. More times than not the players are not paying attention to a vote. When the second rounds get going, the map changes. It appears that it is still going through the vote process, albeit unseen, and using the next default map.

Any suggestions. I can generate a log if you'd like but it seemed to be a code interoperability problem to me.

Could you look into it and point me into the correct direction?

Are you using version 4.00 b11 ?

 

[swag]

Yes.

 

[BDB]

If you run MapVote on your server without RoAR Assult (with CTF for example) does it work correctly ?
Just trying to figure out if you have the server setup correctly.

 

[swag]

Yes it does. It only seems to happen with RoAR Assault.

A point that must be highlighted is that we implemented a soft reset between rounds which basically resets movers and triggers and game specific things (FortStandards) so that they can be triggered again in the second half. However, we have the option of reloading the second round by making a tweak in the ut2003.ini file. Under that state, we get one round only.

It has been about a month since I've looked at it. I can set up my server and do some testing to it .. now, if only ..

We have had a couple of people questioning as to why mapvote isn't working with RoAR Assault. Anything to add?

I'll have to investigate. Do you have a RoAR download link ?

Yes. This is not direct, but the only thing you have to do is follow the Download link to one of the download sites. The package has a 85MB footprint compressed.

Any progress on this. I have the same issue. If you would like a server to test a release on, we'll throw it on our server.

 

[BDB]

I haven't had time to work on this yet, sorry. I'll try to make some time this weekend.

 

[spoon]

Cool. I was going to try to figure it out myself, but you blanked the source in the package.

(i've got a similar perl script which blanks the source off of comments)

 

[BDB]

yep, sorry about that. I can send you the souce if you want to look at it.
Just send me an email requesting it. Make sure you give your email a descriptive
subject so that it doesnt get thrown out with all the spam and viruses.

Hey Spoon, I sent you a fix to test. Did you get it ?

 

[spoon]

Yes, and about a minute after I started look for the problem, I got your other email.

Works perfectly. Is the package you sent me a release or a test version?

 

[BDB]

Since it works then I'll release it.

 

[Tosk]

Since it works then I'll release it.

A new version released?? Where?

 

[BDB]

I still need to update the readme, zip it, and upload it. I'll try to do that tonight.

I'll post the link when its available.
FYI, the ONLY change is the RoARAssault compatiblity fix.

 

[BDB]

Ok, Attacted is version 4.00 b12.
Only change is RoARAssault fix.

 

[swag]

Thanks for all your work! Unfortunately the RoAR team has disbanded. For those of you that are using RoAR Assault this is great.

I suppose this will help in an implementation in ut2k4 assault.

Ok, Attacted is version 4.00 b12.
Only change is RoARAssault fix.

Thank you....

And Thank you too Swag!
