Using BDBMapvote to combine maps&mutators ?

[Zur]

Is it possible to instruct BDBMapvote to run a map with a particular mutator or a set of of mutators ? If so, how is it done ?

For those wondering why I wish to do this, our clan specializes in low grav rockets dm. It would be nice to load the low gravity and rocket launcher mutators whenever a suitable map is voted.

MapVote for UT2003 (4.00 b11) can do this but MapVote 3.x can not.

Hmmm, I see. This is for a UT server. Is there some trick you know of that would set a combination of mutators at given times without the intervention of an admin ?

Not sure if this works in UT but you can try adding the mutators list to the mapname
in a maplist. Then set map vote to us the maplist. (this will limit you to 32 maps, doh).

Something like this:
[...DeathMatchMapList]
Map(0)=CTF-Face.unr?Game=botmatch.CTFGame?mutators=mutator1,mutator2, etc...

what about forgetting the mutators and mix the maps, ie ctf and tdm maps.
Anyway to do this?

 

[BDB]

You can show both CTF and DM maps. (bCTF=True, bDM=True).

Or you can log in as admin in-game and invoke Mapvote and change settings there.

I think it does work . I've seen a few admins on UT Demo do something like this. Thanks for reminding me of this possibility.

Now, what would great would be some way of combining gametypes and mutators and have them appear as new gametypes. I shall continue to dream on .

a version of mapvote that adds the ability for users to vote for a mode of mutators, AND maps. with version 2.0, ive added the ability for any mutators to be used

BoneHead, if you make a new thread/post with the download link and a list of
changes, I'll make it sticky.
