Summary

0003019: Simple gamemode rotation and voting

Description

It would be nice to be able to callvote different gamemodes.

sv_gamemode_rotation - Server will randomly select a game mode from this list when switching maps. Empty means that it won't switch game modes at all.
sv_gamemode_voteoptions - A list of game mode options that players can vote on. This can be different from the game mode rotation options.

I'm not married to these cvar names. I suppose they would be a simple, comma-delimited list of game modes.

This would be a simple gamemode switcher.

- No per-gamemode dmflags.
- No map-specific disallows.
- No magic lumps that it obeys.
- It's on the server owner to not pick stupid combinations, like coop/ctf or whatever.

Something that MIGHT be up for debate - what happens when you vote for a new game mode? It can't apply the new game mode without switching the map. I think that the game mode should be applied and the map should be reloaded immediately, as to follow the principle of least surprise.

This is technically possible with ACS now, so this is more of a question of if it’s useful to have engineside.
