UTJ redo

[Hermskii]

I'm amazed to find out that one or more of the files I have been using for years to install this game of UT is corrupted somehow. I downloaded all new stuff and installed from a UT disk rather than a data image I have. It installed like lightning and theis mod now works. This really makes me wonder about the internal condition at the software level of my servers now. Anyways...

I have found that everything works well EXCEPT:

Health stops regenerating while you are underwater.

I can't control the rate of ammo regeration at all.

Wait! There's more...

I can't turn off the multi kill, ultra kill stuff in the ini

The ammo renerates at a rate of 16 every .75 seconds. Way too fast.

I can't control the max amount of ammo.


Someone is going to get a PM from me right now.

I suspected there might be trouble in MHM gameserver land. Over time anything will corrupt. I've had it happen a bunch.

No underwater regen is by design. It can be changed of course, but it was created that way. I don't really get it, as a bunch of maps have long underwater sections, but that's just how it's made.

Ammo regenerates at a set amount per second. I'm not exactly sure but K and I have looked at the actual code for ammo regen very closely and it looks to us like at one time there was an adjustable amount you could set (probably via an ini), but the code was changed some to use a set amount. My guess is that adjusting the ammo count might have screwed with the mod's tick rate, and therefore caused problems with the server.

On a side note, changing the size of the jpg made no difference in the mapvote splash screen. I just scrapped it. It doesn't matter anyway.

Someone is going to get a PM from me right now.

There's no real reason to turn the announcements off. If you don't want the announcements, you could use the MHhud mod for monster radar. I just didn't see a reason to add a setting to turn off the reason the mod was written.

I hit on ammo regen a post back. That's all easily changed but adding a sliding scale by way of an ini was removed for a reason, and I'm hesitant to add it back not knowing what will happen. If you are considering running a UTJ I can make this anything you think it should be.

Max ammo...Ugh. I hate this setting. All kinds of conflicts. Sometimes the maps override the mod, sometimes it's the mod over the map. I can set a rock hard ceiling for it though if you have a particular number in mind.

[Hermskii]

Time out. Let me specify that I was speaking of corrupted files on the last few installs I tried here on my PC with your mod. The problem was only on my end and not on my server or on yours. I was in practice mode the whole time. Did you get my PM?

[Hermskii]

Here is the set of instructions I used when I set up my welcome window. These instructions and more can be found in the readme file which is includd in the MapVote 3.04 version. Here is what I used:

The Welcome Window is a new feature that allows server owners to post
information for the players to see when they join the server.
When configured the Welcome Window will open as soon as the player
joins the server. The player can then read the inforamation or just close
the window by clicking the "Close" button.
Note: The window only opens the first time they join a server.

Requirements: 1. HTTP Web server (Micro$oft IIS, HTTP server, etc.)
2. An HTML file.

Welcome Window Setup:
---------------------
First you need to make the Welcome Window HTML source file.

*** The in-game web browser is very very limited.
You can not use images,tables tags,java-script, style-sheets, etc.

So, What can you use ?
Here are the comments directly from the "UWindowHTMLTextArea" class
that is used to render the HTML:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
HTML Currently Supported
========================
Parsed on add
-------------

<ul><li>item 1<li>item 2...</ul>
<table>...</table>

Bugs
----
The parsing is pretty slack!
------------------------------------------------------------------

So create an HTML and place it on your HTTP web server.
Note: Do not use FrontPage or Visual Interdev to create this page.
Then goto the Admin configuration window in MapVote and scroll down to
the Advanced section.
In the "Welcome Page Web Server URL" text box enter the web server address,
port, path, and filename.
Syntax:
webservername.domainname:port/path/filename.htm

Note: The port is not required, the default is 80.
Do Not include "http://"

Example: www.planetunreal.com:80/BDBUnreal/serverinfo.htm

Note: Leaving the URL blank disables the Welcome Window.

Also, I have include an example ServerInfo.htm file in the zip file.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
New
If you want to use the Welcome Window or the ServerInfo window and do
not have access to an HTTP web server or software then you can try
the ingame web server included in ServerInfo.u.

This is something I whipped up real quick and have not tested it under a
full load, so be warned. If this causes lag on your server remove it.
It will make you UT server act as a web server for the Server information
page in mapvote.
It will only serve one page and that page has to be named ServerInfo.htm

Installation Instructions:
1. Save the ServerInfo.u file to the \UnrealTournament\System directory.
2. Save the ServerInfo.htm file to the \UnrealTournament\Web directory.
3. Edit the ServerInfo.htm file with a text editor and change it to show what you want to show.
4. Edit UnrealTournament.ini file with a text editor and change the following: (marked with <==== *)

[UWeb.WebServer]
Applications[0]=UTServerAdmin.UTServerAdmin
ApplicationPaths[0]=/ServerAdmin
Applications[1]=UTServerAdmin.UTImageServer
ApplicationPaths[1]=/images
DefaultApplication=0
bEnabled=True <==== *
Applications[2]=ServerInfo.ServerInfo <==== *
ApplicationPaths[2]=/ServerInfo <==== *
.....~

Note: if Applications[2] is already in use by another
addon then change it to one that isnt in use.(ie, 3 or 4)

[BDBMapVote304.BDBMapVote]
.....~
ServerInfoURL=192.168.1.100/ServerInfo/ServerInfo.htm <==== *
Note: Replace "192.168.1.100" with the IP address of your server.

D'oh. :slap:


PM'd ya back. Thank you for this. Now I know why it won't work. I'm not gonna fix it though. My ping is crappy and I don't plan on running a server other than to test.

BTW is 3.04 better? I looked at my readme and it has nothing like that in there. It's just the LA13 zip file, not 3.04

[Hermskii]

MapVote 3.04 is easy to use and is what I started with but then moved to MapVoteLA13 later so that I could show more maps at one time. MapVote 3.04 only has a little box that makes you scroll through to see all of the maps. Is it netter? No. MapVoteLA13 has many more options and does everything that 3.04 can do. But 3.04 is easy and is what I suggest for newer admins to start with. It also has much better documentation as you can see. You can get it here:

http://www.wootabulous.nl/download.php?view.196

[Hook]

I DL'd DBDMapVote304 and found NO documentation.

Are you sure you didn't mean MapVoteLA13 has extensive documentation?
It does but, as I said elsewhere, it is a bit sucky and I am re-writing the MapVoteLA13 readme so it can be much easier to follow.

[gopostal]

I downloaded LA13 and the readme was crap that I got. Please rewrite it, it needs some love.

[Hermskii]

I will post the readme when I get back home. That will be Sunday. Until then, google MapVote 3.04 and see if you can download it and see if it has a readme in it.

[K]

This is the LA13 Readme.

I really don't understand what the trouble is with it?
I didn't have trouble configuring. It is pretty straight forward.

=======================================================
MapvoteLA for UT99 by Cratos (cratos@gmx.at) 
=======================================================


What is MapVoteLA? 
======================
MapvoteLA is a Mapvote Mutator that allows the players to vote for the next map being played


Main Features:
===============

- Voting for up to 1024 maps
- 4 Customizable Map Lists
- Up to 16 Custom gametypes where you can assign Prefixes, Mutators and Settings
- Filter system (supporting Wildcards) to implement detailed Maplist assignments (up to 4x48 Filters)
- Predefined Maplist if noone voted (return to default maps)
- Automatically mapswitch to a predefinded Maplist if server is empty for a certain time (return to default maps)
- Priority System for Maplists
- Re-Vote limit (avoidable for certain maplists)
- Kickvote to kick players
- Displaying a Clanlogo within the votemenu
- Support for Assault and LeagueAssault
- Automatic removal of crashed maps (to prevent them to be revoted)
- Mapplaycount report and Mapsequence report
- Detailed in-game Admin page for most of the configuration


Installation (Server)
======================
1) copy the .u, .int and .ini files to the UT\System folder
2) add to the UnrealTournament.ini in section [Engine.GameEngine] the following entry

[Engine.GameEngine] 
ServerPackages=MapVoteLA13


Configuration
==============
The configuration is done in the file MapVoteLA.ini
Most of the settings can be changed in-game too. If you log in as admin and open the Mapvote you will get an additional Admin Tab


UPDATE FROM MAPVOTELA12 TO MAPVOTELA13
======================================
In MapvoteLA13 the MutatorActorConfig[] has been removed and merged into the CustomGameConfig[]. 
Remove the MutatorActorConfig[] entries and start the server and do a servertravel. The CustomGameConfig[] settings should now 
have been expanded and you can apply the Mutators there.


Starting up Mapvote
====================
Fire up your server and choose "Map-Vote LA13" from the Mutator Tab


Hints:
======
* to open the votemenu midgame use the following keybinding: "mutate bdbmapvote votemenu"
* to adjust settings in-game log in as admin and open the votemenu, you will get an additional admin tab for configuration ;)



FAQ: What settings do I need in MapVoteLA.ini?
===============================================

1) Step 1: Loading Maps
-----------------------

   For default gametypes there are predefined keys to enable the maps:
	bDM=True
	bLMS=True
	bTDM=True
	bDOM=True
	bCTF=True
	bAS=True
	
   To load cusom gametypes, mutators and settomgs you can use up to 16 'CustomGameConfig's. 
   Here some examples to load iDM, iCTF, iAS, RocketArena and Bunnytrack:
   
   	DefaultSettings="FriendlyFireScale=0.0"
   	CustomGameConfig[0]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="Botpack.DeathMatchPlus",NewPrefix="iDM",Mutators="BotPack.InstaGibDM",Settings="")
   	CustomGameConfig[1]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="Botpack.DeathMatchPlus",NewPrefix="proDM",Mutators="",Settings="FriendlyFireScale=1.0")
	CustomGameConfig[2]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="BotPack.CTFGame",NewPrefix="iCTF",Mutators="BotPack.InstaGibDM",Settings="")
	CustomGameConfig[3]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="LeagueAS140.LeagueAssault",NewPrefix="iAS",Mutators="BotPack.InstaGibDM",Settings="")
	CustomGameConfig[4]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="RocketArena.RocketArenaGame",NewPrefix="")
	CustomGameConfig[5]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="BunnyTrack.BunnyTrackGame",NewPrefix="")
	
   * Mind: to distinct Maps with same name but different gametype/mutators/settings you have to change the prefix.
   	 E.g.: to load Deathmatch and Insta-Deathmatch just change the prefix of the Insta-Deathmach to 'iAS'
   	 
   * Custom Settings:
     You can use several custom settings by seperating them with a comma. E.g.: "FriendlyFireScale=1.0,Aircontrol=0.8"	 
     IMPORTANT: If you use custom settings in the CustomGameConfigs you have to make sure those settings get reset to Default for all other maps:
     E.g.: DefaultSettings="FriendlyFireScale=0.0,AirControl=0.35"

	
3) Step 2: Assign the maps to a maplist
---------------------------------------

   Tell the mapvote in which list the maps should be displayed. Use the (up to 48 per list) 'List1FilterX[Y]' variables for this.
   You can use wildcards in the Filters. Some Examples:
   
   Loading all Assault maps into List 1:
   	List1Filter[0]=AS-*
   	
   Loading AS-Asthenosphere, AS-Bridge and AS-Rook into list 3:
   	List3Filter[0]=AS-Asthenosphere
   	List3Filter[1]=AS-Bridge
   	List3Filter[2]=AS-Rook
   	
   Loading all iDM maps into List 4:
   	List4Filter[0]=iDM-
   	
   Hint: If you have changed some prefixes you can/have to use the new prefixes in the Filters (like iDM for Insta)
   Hint: You can use Wildcards. E.g.: DM-A* or *castle*


Q: How do I add a clanlogo into mapvote (displayed in the middle of the Votewindow)?
A: LogoTexture=ClanLogoPackage.TextureName
   Make sure the Clanlogo is added to the Serverpackages aswell
   
Q: Can I use wildcards in the filter?
A: Yes you can. E.g.: List1Filter[0]=AS-B* will filter all AS maps that start with the letter 'B'

Q: What are all the other parameters for?
A: Try to find out yourself :P or just ask in the support forums: http://forums.utassault.net/forumdisplay.php?f=9



Version History:
==================

MapVoteLA13:
* Enhanced: You can now apply Custom Settings to the Maplists/Gametypes. Switching e.g. FriendlyFireScale or Aircontrol is now possible
* Enhanced: No 256 maps limit per MapList any more. All 1024 maps can be put into one list if desired
* Enhanced: Filter Arrays increased from 32 to 48 per List
* Enhanced: Mutator configuration now merged into Gametype configuration. Custom Gametypes are now easier to configure in only one line
* Enhanced: Custom Gametypes can now be enabled/disabled via admin window
* Enhanced: The mapvote window doesn't open/interrupt the user any more if he is typing. It will open after you finished your typing
* Enhanced: Message Timout Slider is back
* Enhanced: If MapListIfNooneVoted is set to 0 the map will be chosen random out of all lists
* Enhanced: Improved maploading/filter algorithm. Maps that get filtered off do not count for the maplimit any more. So all 1024 map slots can be used for visible maps.
* Enhanced: New Parameter: 'bReloadMapsOnRequestOnly': If you have many maps or large filters the loading time will increase and the servertravel will take longer and longer. If you set bReloadMapsOnRequestOnly the maplist will get buffered into an ini. This will cut down the loading time to almost zero. The maplist only gets updated if you login to the admin page and click 'Reload maps' (recomended!)
* Enhanced: Added an ExcludeFilter[16] to remove special maps. This Filter can be enabled/disabled via admin menu
* Fixed: The Map-Screenshot preview now works on all custom prefixes
* Fixed: The 'who kicks who' feature now displays the correct playernames
* Fixed: Crashed maps list was ignored when filling maplist 1
* Fixed: An error that could cause a servercrash
* Fixed: MutatorActorConfig only executed the first matching line if found
* Fixed: Window autoopen didn't work when bKickVote was false
* Fixed: If noone voted sometimes the server got stuck (if repeatlimit was > 0)
* Fixed: No more accessed nones if the maplist overflows (>1024). It now logs detailed Errorlogs/Info
* Fixed: The 'RemoveCrashedMaps' feature didn't work for maps that were loaded from a custom game config
* Fixed: MultiCTF and Bunnytrack (CTFv5) should now work properly

MapVoteLA12:
* New configuration system: Up to 16 CustomGameConfigs and up to 16 MutatorActorConfigs
* Removed the old custom configuration vars (bOther, bOtherClass, PrefixSwap,....)
* BugFixes

MapVoteLA10?:
* Configurable dynamic Mutators for Maptypes/Gametypes
* Configurable dynamic Serveractors for Maptypes/Gametypes
* Spectators/Admins can get a votemenu too (but not vote)
* Remove bExactFilter parameter. You can now use wildcards in the filter (*)
* Ability to disable kickvotes but still see the playerlist
* Show who kicks who (optional)
* Filling of maps is now more smooth
* Removed a bug where the last map loaded was not show in the List
* Showing who voted failed on ppl that opened their mapvote after others have voted: fixed
* Return to a predefined maplist if noone voted
* Ability to disable repeatlimit of certain Lists
* Bigger say button
* Better tracking of players leaving during vote: removing from list and tally votes
* Support more custom gametypes
* Optimized Network Replication (no more lag spikes if someone opens the votemenu midgame)

Post the readme for MapVote 3.04 if you can find it. We have our reasons for needing it eh.

[K]

Code: Select all

Title	Map-Vote 3
Game	Unreal Tournament
Version	3.04
Release Date	8/14/2003
Filenames	BDBMapVote304.u, BDBMapVote304.int, BDBMapVote304.u.uz , MapVoteHistoryX16.u, ServerInfo.u, ServerInfo.htm
Author	Bruce Bickar aka BDB
Email Address	Please check my Message Board and the trouble shooting guide before emailing me.
Thanks
I've removed my email address from this to avoid SPAM
Web Page	http://www.planetunreal.com/BDBUnreal
Description	This mutator allows players to control what maps are played on a server through voting.
Features 	

- Graphical user interface. At the end of each game a Voting Window will pop up automatically,
  so no key binding is required and there are no console commands to remember.
  
- Screen-Shot preview. When a map is selected a screen-shot (picture) of the map will be displayed 
  along with information about the map such as the author and the recommended number of players. 
  If the player doesn't have the selected map file on their computer then it will indicate that 
  downloading is required.
  
- Mid game map change option. The players can vote for a map at any time during the course of the 
  game. If the required percentage of players place votes a Mid-Game vote will be initiated and all
  of the players voting windows will be opened. They will have a limited time to vote.
  
- Players can configure a keyboard key that can be used at any time during the game to open the 
  voting window. This is not required because the voting window can/will automatically open it 
  self at the end of each game. But if the players want to take advantage of the player kick voting
  or the early map voting features then this would be required. Also, the key configuration does not
  require any console commands or opening of the preferences menu. This key configuration is built 
  in to the voting window which makes it much easier to do. It also will work with-out a Mod Menu 
  INT file, this is important because INT files are not automatically downloaded from the server in 
  network play and Mod Menu configuration windows require an INT file.
  
- A KeyBinder window will automatically pop-up when a player joins to the server. This KeyBinder 
  will allow the player to select a keyboard key by pressing the key and then clicking the 
  "Set/Save" button. If a player joins a server and already has a key bound the window will pop up
  and remind him/her what the hot-key is and the close it self after 4 seconds. They can also 
  prevent the keybinder from poping up.
  
- Tie breaker feature. Each player can only vote for one map. If all of the players vote the votes
  will be counted and the map with the highest vote count will win. If there is a tie, then a map 
  will be choosen at random from the maps that tied for first place. 
  
- Player Kick feature. Players can place "kick" votes against other players. If the percentage of
  players that vote against a particular player reaches the configurable kick requirement 
  percentage then that player will be disconnected from the server. If the kicked player reconnects
  to the server during the same game that he was kicked from, he/she will be re-kicked automatically.
  To clairify, This kick/ban only lasts until the end of the current game, or until the map is 
  changed. Note: The server administrator can not be kicked. Also, kick votes are tracked by 
  PlayerID and not name so changing names will not affect it.  
  
- Remote dedicated server configuration window, which can be used by remote administrators to 
   configure Map-Vote. There are no console configuration commands to look up and remember.
  
- Works with all games types. The server administrator can configure which types of maps will be 
  loaded in to the map voting list. The following Map types can be turned on or off:
  - Auto Detect - Automatically detects the game type that the server was started with.
  - Death Match (DM)
  - Team Death Match (DM)
  - Last Man Standing (DM)
  - Assault (AS)
  - Capture The Flag (CTF)
  - Domination (DOM)
  - Other Game Type - This is a configurable game type. It can be used for Mods like Rocket-Arena,
    Tactical-Ops, Strike-Force and any other mod. (It has only been tested with Rocket-Arena 
    ,Tactical Ops, Strike-Force, and Unreal Fortress)
    
- Configurable message expiration time. Players can use this feature to change the amount of time
  that messages remain on their HUD/screen. This is good for people who can't speed read messages
  in 3 seconds.
  
- Voting status. The main window displays a list of maps that were voted for and the amount of 
  votes for each. It also shows player names that were had kick votes cast against them.
  You can now click the name of a map or player and it will select that map in the map list.
  
- Configurable End-Game voting time limit. At the end of a game the players have a set about of 
  time to place their votes. If all players have not voted with in this time limit then a map 
  change will be forced.
  
- MapVoteHistory - MapVote now keeps track of all winning maps and supplies a report that shows 
  how many times each map has been played. Note: running the report take a bit of time. It was 
  made to be slow on pupose to avoid adding lag to the server.
  
- Welcome Window - MapVote now has an optional welcome window the will open up when a player 
  joins the server. This welcome window can be used to communicate server specific information
  , schedules, rules, etc. Note: it requires an HTTP web server. (more details below)
  
- New Modes: MapVote now has 4 voting modes: 
  1. Majority - Each player gets to place 1 vote and the map with the most votes wins.
  2. Elimination - Maps are removed from the list until there are only X number of maps left.
  3. Accumulation - If the map that a player has voted for does not win that vote is carried 
     to the next game.
  4. Score - Player scores are used as the ammount of votes placed. So basically, the top 
     players get choose the map.
  
- Configurable No Repeat limit - You can now configure MapVote to remove the last X number 
  of maps that have been played. X being some number.

Requirements	Required version 413 or better of Unreal Tournament. (This include the players as well as the server)
Installation Instruction 	

   1. Place BDBMapVote304.int in the \UnrealTournament\System directory.
   2. Place BDBMapVote304.u in the \UnrealTournament\System directory.
   3. ***Note: this if very important, it will not work without this.
      Add "ServerPackages=BDBMapVote304" to the \UnrealTournament\system\UnrealTournament.ini file under the "[Engine.GameEngine]" section.

Other files:

    * BDBMapVote304.u.uz - this is the compressed version for servers that have redirected downloads enabled.
    * ServerInfo.htm - this is an example server information file for the Welcome Window

Upgrading To Keep you existing MapVote configuration settings follow these steps:

Note: * is a wildcard in the following lines.

Server.bat - change mutator=BDBMapVote3*.BDBMapVote* to BDBMapVote304.BDBMapVote

UnrealTournament.ini - change "[BDBMapVote3*.BDBMapVote*]" to "[BDBMapVote304.BDBMapVote]"
                     - change "MapVoteHistoryType=BDBMapVote*.MapVoteHistory1" to
                              "MapVoteHistoryType=BDBMapVote304.MapVoteHistory1"
                     
MapVoteHistory1.ini - Change [BDBMapVote3*.MapVoteHistory1] to
                             [BDBMapVote304.MapVoteHistory1]

Server Setup 	

   1. Set the settings that you want for each game type using the normal UT menus or edit the UnrealTournament.ini file.
   2. For example set the number of frags in deathmatch before the match ends and then change to CTF and change the number of flag capture's before the match ends. Close the Multiplayer window to save the settings.
   3. Select any mutators that you want plus the "Map-Vote" mutator.
   4. Start the game. (see dedicated server setup below for dedicated servers)

Configuration 	There are two ways to configure Map Vote on a server. Configuration Methods: (choose one and only one) Note: There is No MOD menu configuration menu with version 3.
A.

   1. Open the UnrealTournament.ini file, located in the \UnrealTournament\System directory, with any text editor.
   2. Modify the values for each configuration setting.

Example UnrealTournament.ini file contents (Note: DO NOT add this to your ini file):

-----------------------------------------
[BDBMapVote304.BDBMapVote]
bAutoDetect=True          <= used this to automatically set the gametype to what ever gametype the server was 
                             started with

bSortWithPreFix=True      <= Set to True to sort the map list with the mapname prefix (this is faster) or
                             Set to False to sort the map list with out the mapname prefix (much slower loading).
VoteTimeLimit=50          <= Number of seconds to allow for voting at the end of the game.

bCheckOtherGameTie=True   <= For MODs there is no way for MapVote to know if there can be Sudden Death Overtime 
                             when there is a tie game. If there is a tie and the game goes into Overtime MapVote
                             might think it is the end of the game and open the windows. 
RepeatLimit=4             <= This will cause MapVote to disable (shows in red) the last 4 maps that were played

HasStartWindow=<Auto> 
      This is only for the OtherClass Game types (Mods). It indicates if the Mod has a 
      Starting window or not. 

KickPercent=<1> 
   The percentage of players that are required to place kick votes against one player before
   that player is kicked from the server. Set this to 100 to disable kick voting since most players
   will not place a kick vote against them selves.

MapInfoURL=<www> 
   The web URL address to use to get the Map Information html file. See MapInfo section of doc.

MapPreFixOverRide=<DM> 
      This can be used for the OtherClass game types  (MODs) only. 
      It allows you to specify a different Map Prefix. eg. "DM-", "CTF-"
      Use this setting to load a different type of map than the default.

MapVoteHistoryType=<BDBMapVote304> 
   Defines the class that contains the code for managing the Map Vote History data.
   See the MapVoteHistory section of this document for more details.
   This can also be set to name a custom made 3rd party class in a different package.

MidGameVotePercent=<0> 
   The percentage players that are required to place votes for any maps before a 
   "Mid-Game Vote" is initiated. When a Mid-Game vote is initiated all the voting
   windows will be forced open and the voting time limit clock will start.
   When time runs out the server will switch to the winning map.

MinMapCount=<1> 
   Only used when the Mode is set to "Elimination". It is the number of map names that will
   be present before the map list is refreshed with all the maps.

Mode=<Majority> 
   Majority - Each player gets to place 1 vote and the map with the most votes wins.
   Elimination - Maps are removed from the list until there are only X number of maps left.
   Accumulation - If the map that a player has voted for does not win that vote is carried 
                  to the next game. Therefore players can multiple accumulate votes.
   Score - Player scores are used as the amount of votes placed. So basically, the top 
           players get choose the map.

OtherClass=<WFCode> 
         This would be the Package name and the Class name of the MOD, See the documentation
         that came with the MOD that you are trying to use MapVote with for the name of the
         Game class. Leave this setting blank if bOther is False. Also NOTE: Sorry, you can
         can NOT list more than on class here. MapVote will not work with more than one Mod.

PreFixSwap=<MyPreFix> 
      This can be used to change the way the map names show for the OtherClass Gametype.
      This value can be blank. This swaps the map name prefix of the maps belonging to the 
      OtherClass gametype to this value.

RepeatLimit=<0> 
   The number of previously played maps to remove from the list of available maps.
   This is used to prevent players from voting for the same maps over and over.
   Set this to 0 to disable it and show all available maps or maps in the rotation list.

ScoreBoardDelay=<1> 
   The number of seconds after the end of the game to delay the automatic opening of the voting windows.
   During this delay the players have a chance to view the score board. If bAutoOpen is set to false
   then this setting does nothing. 

ServerInfoURL=<www> 
   The web URL address to use to fill the ServerInfo window.
   Leave this blank to disable the server info window. 
   This is also used in the Welcome Window that can pops up when a player joins 
   the server. See the Welcome Window instructions for more details.

VoteTimeLimit=<1> 
   The number of seconds to allow players to place votes after the end of a game or after
   a mid-game vote was initiated. When this time limit expires the server will be forced to swich
   to the map with the highest votes. If there are no votes then a map will be chosen at random.

B. (This method is for configuring a remote dedicated server)

   1. Start the server with the "Map-Vote" mutator. (See decicated server setup instructions below)
   2. Connect to your server with UT.
   3. Login as Admin with the "ADMINLOGIN password" console command. Note: If you don't see a message like "YourPlayerName has become the administrator" then the password was wrong.
   4. Press you MapVote HotKey. You should have seen the KeyBinder window when you first joined the server.
   5. Click the "Admin" tab which should be all the way to the right. If there is No "Admin" tab then you have not successfully logged in as administrator, close the window and go back to step 3.
   6. Change the options in the scrolling Admin window. There is a second half of the page which does not show. Just use the scroll bar on the far right to scroll down.
   7. Click the "Save" button. This will save your selected options on the remote server and reload the maplist on the server.
   8. Now close and reopen the voting window to refresh the map list.

OtherGame Classes 	If you want to use Map-Vote with a MOD then you can just use the Auto Detect option. This will setup the game class automatically when the server is stared.
You still have the option of specifing the Other Game Class option and Check the Other Mod Game check box in the Configuration window. You would have to do this if you wanted to have a MOD and UT maps/games types available for voting in the same list at the same time.

***Note: UnrealFortress games can have Sudden Death OverTime during a tied game,
therefore you need to change the "Check Sudden Death Overtime" option in the configuration.
Or change bCheckOtherGameTie to True in the UnrealTournament.ini file.

Infiltration 2.85:
-----------------------------
UCC server CTF-Face.unr?Game=InfiltrationUT.InfilCTFGame?mutator=BDBMapVote304.BDBMapVote

***Note: You must enable the "Check Sudden Death Overtime" option in the 
         configuration for MapVote to work correctly with Weapons-Factory. 

MapVoteHistory 	

MapVote now keeps a record of maps played , the number of times each was played 
and the sequence each was played. This information is stored separate from the default 
UT ini file because of the potential large size (up to 1020 maps). By default this
information is stored in the MapVoteHistory1.ini file. I do not recommend editing 
this file manually, but if you do here is the layout: 
Example: MapVoteHistory1.ini
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[BDBMapVote304.MapVoteHistory1]
M[0]=                <== Note: this is left blank on purpose
M[1]=AS-Coldsteel    <== M = MapName, maintained in alphabetic order
M[2]=CTF-2symple                  
M[3]=CTF-4Faces
M[4]=CTF-AAhuNui
...etc.
M[1022]=
M[1023]=
P[0]=0
P[1]=1               <== P = PlayCount
P[2]=7
P[3]=11
P[4]=9
...etc.
P[1022]=0
P[1023]=0
S[0]=0
S[1]=41              <== S = Sequence
S[2]=197
S[3]=166
S[4]=10
S[1022]=0
S[1023]=0
LastMapIndex=251                 <== This is the index nuber of the last map
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you run multiple servers on the same computer and want to keep history 
information separated, you can do so by configuring the MapVoteHistory 
type in the Advanced section of the Admin configuration window.
You have 4 options:
- BDBMapVote304.MapVoteHistory1  - stores history info in MapVoteHistory1.ini
- BDBMapVote304.MapVoteHistory2  - stores history info in MapVoteHistory2.ini
- BDBMapVote304.MapVoteHistory3  - stores history info in MapVoteHistory3.ini
- BDBMapVote304.MapVoteHistory4  - stores history info in MapVoteHistory4.ini 

If are running more than 4 UT servers on the same physical server then you can 
do this. 
Included in the Zip file is a MapVote History plug-in that allows you to keep 
up to 16 different history files (one for each instance of UT on a single server). 
You Do Not need this if you are only running 4 or less servers on the same computer.
Just save the MapVoteHistoryX16.u file to your \UnrealTournament\System directory.
Then in the UnrealTournment.ini file for each server change the 
"MapVoteHistoryType" setting under the  "[BDBMapVote304.BDBMapVote]" section 
to "MapVoteHistoryX16.MapVoteHistoryZZ"
Change the last "ZZ" to a unique number between 1 and 16.
 
So you might have (for example):
 
Server1.ini
MapVoteHistoryType=MapVoteHistoryX16.MapVoteHistory1
 
Server2.ini
MapVoteHistoryType=MapVoteHistoryX16.MapVoteHistory2
 
Server3.ini
MapVoteHistoryType=MapVoteHistoryX16.MapVoteHistory3
 
....
Server16.ini
MapVoteHistoryType=MapVoteHistoryX16.MapVoteHistory16

Additional Feature:
-------------------
There are two in-game console command that you can use to set
the Play Count and Sequence of each map in the History.
You have to login as Admin with the ADMINLOGIN command first.
MUTATE BDBMAPVOTE SETPC mapname play_count
MUTATE BDBMAPVOTE SETSEQ mapname sequence_number
examples:
MUTATE BDBMAPVOTE SETPC CTF-FACE 10
MUTATE BDBMAPVOTE SETSEQ CTF-FACE -1

Note: Setting the Sequence of a map to -1 forces it to never show in the 
map list. This can come in handy if you discover have a bad or just 
ill conceived map on your server but don't want to actually delete the 
file.

Welcome Window 	

The Welcome Window is a new feature that allows server owners to post
information for the players to see when they join the server.
When configured the Welcome Window will open as soon as the player 
joins the server. The player can then read the inforamation or just close
the window by clicking the "Close" button. 
Note: The window only opens the first time they join a server.

Requirements: 1. HTTP Web server (Micro$oft IIS, HTTP server, etc.)
              2. An HTML file.
      
Welcome Window Setup:
---------------------
First you need to make the Welcome Window HTML source file.

*** The in-game web browser is very very limited.
You can not use images,tables tags,java-script, style-sheets, etc.

So, What can you use ?
Here are the comments directly from the "UWindowHTMLTextArea" class 
that is used to render the HTML:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Bugs
----
The parsing is pretty slack!
------------------------------------------------------------------ 

So create an HTML and place it on your HTTP web server.
Note: Do not use FrontPage or Visual Interdev to create this page.
Then goto the Admin configuration window in MapVote and scroll down to 
the Advanced section.
In the "Welcome Page Web Server URL" text box enter the web server address,
port, path, and filename.
Syntax:
webservername.domainname:port/path/filename.htm

Note: The port is not required, the default is 80. 
      Do Not include "http://" 

Example: www.planetunreal.com:80/BDBUnreal/serverinfo.htm

Note: Leaving the URL blank disables the Welcome Window.

Also, I have include an example ServerInfo.htm file in the zip file.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
New

If you want to use the Welcome Window or the ServerInfo window and do
not have access to an HTTP web server or software then you can try 
the ingame web server included in ServerInfo.u.

This is something I whipped up real quick and have not tested it under a 
full load, so be warned. If this causes lag on your server remove it.
It will make you UT server act as a web server for the Server information 
page in mapvote. 
It will only serve one page and that page has to be named ServerInfo.htm
 
Installation Instructions:
1. Save the ServerInfo.u file to the \UnrealTournament\System directory.
2. Save the ServerInfo.htm file to the \UnrealTournament\Web directory.
3. Edit the ServerInfo.htm file with a text editor and change it to show what you want to show.
4. Edit UnrealTournament.ini file with a text editor and change the following: (marked with <==== *)
 
   [UWeb.WebServer]
   Applications[0]=UTServerAdmin.UTServerAdmin
   ApplicationPaths[0]=/ServerAdmin
   Applications[1]=UTServerAdmin.UTImageServer
   ApplicationPaths[1]=/images
   DefaultApplication=0
   bEnabled=True                           <==== *
   Applications[2]=ServerInfo.ServerInfo   <==== *
   ApplicationPaths[2]=/ServerInfo         <==== *
   .....~
                 
   Note: if Applications[2] is already in use by another 
         addon then change it to one that isnt in use.(ie, 3 or 4)
 
   [BDBMapVote304.BDBMapVote]
   .....~
   ServerInfoURL=192.168.1.100/ServerInfo/ServerInfo.htm     <==== * 
                               Note: Replace "192.168.1.100" with the IP address of your server.
   ....~
     

Map Info 	

Map Info is a new feature in MapVote that can be setup to provide 
players with information about about maps. There are two ways the player
can request information about a map.

1. Select a map in the Map List on the Map Voting window and click the
   "Info" button. This will cause the window to switch to the "Info" tab
   and then use the in game web browser to display information if 
   it is avaliable.
   
2. Select the "Info" tab window in the Map Voting window and click the 
   "Map Info" button. This will cause the in game web browser to display
   information about the current map if it is avaliable.  

Map Info Setup:
---------------
You will need an HTTP web server to provide the map information.
You will also need to take all the ReadMe text files that are were provided
with custom maps and convert them to HTML format.
I have ask someone to write a converter program that will do this for you
and will make it available for download when it is ready.
The name of the map information file has to follow this scheme:

MapName.htm

For example: If there was a readme file for CTF-Face.unr then the info file 
would be have to be named CTF-Face.htm

All of the map info files must be in the same directory on the web server.

To enable this go to the Admin configuration window in MapVote and scroll
down to the Advanced section.
Enter your web server URL and the path to the map info directory in the 
"Map Information Web Server URL" text box.
Note: do not use "http://" and end the path with a "/"
Example: www.myserver.com:80/MapInfoDirectory/

Known bugs 	

1. When tested with "DOM-LittleThings" map , it always played under 
   DeathMatch and dropped the mutator. I couldnt figure out the problem , 
   but it works fine with all the other maps. I might have a corrupted map file.

2. Both the Welcome window and KeyBinder window hide the RocketArena and 
   the UnrealFortress Starting Menu Window when they are closed. 
   This is acceptable with UnrealFortress because the player just has to
   click his/her fire button to bring back the menu. But with RocketArena
   that doesnt work. To solve this problem you can turn off the welcome 
   window and keybinder windows in the MapVote Admin configuration window
   (option is at bottom).

3. I broke the map name quick search box under the maplist in this version.  


Version History 	

1.0 DM-MapVote.unr Map (3D Voting, cool idea but not practical)

2.0 Initial Testing Version (Dropped the Map and used UWindows and Mutator)

2.1 Fixed the Assault mid-game RestartWait problem. (game waited 5 minutes 
    before continuing to second half of match) Add a Config tab window to 
    the MapVote window for players who autodownloaded the mutator and do 
    not have the .int file. This will allow them to configure a keyboard 
    key to launch the voting window.
    
2.2 Added a 20 second voting restriction at the beginning of the game so 
    that the first player to enter the game after a level switch can not
    vote and force a level switch before the other players have joined the 
    game. Also changed the voting message type from critical to normal so 
    that others can see the message that tells which map you voted for.
    
2.3 Added a 20 second timer at the end of the game that when triggered 
    forces open the players voting window if they have not voted and the 
    window is not already open. This will help out any player who has 
    closed the window and dont have a key bound to reopen it.
    
2.4 a. Fixed the RestartWait-ini problem by setting bDontRestart to true
       instead of messing with the RestartWait.
    b. Add a configurable "Message Expiration Time" option. This allows 
       you to configure the amount of time a Say & TeamSay message stays 
       on your HUD. 
    c. Also added a little note at the bottom of the config screen that 
       explains that the Load Map options only apply on the server.
    d. Added "Download Required" text to the map screenshot window to 
       indicate when a player doesn't have the map that he/she selected.
    f. Add client message to tell the player that they can not kick 
       the server.
    g. Changed tie detection function so that it always returns false 
       for Domination games because once during testing I encountered
       a tie game and it did not go into over-time.
       
2.5 a. Added a configurable Kick Vote Requirement percentage.  
    b. Added a configurable voting time limit at game end. 
    c. Increased the size of the map list box and screen shot.
    d. Moved the game type configuration options to an "Admin" tab that
       only shows up for the player that is logged in as the admin. 
       (via adminlogin console command). This Admin tab can save the 
       configuration values to a remote server.
    e. Added LMS, Team Deathmatch, and an "Other" game type. The Other
       game type can be configured to work with custom Mods such as 
       Rocket-Arena,Tactical Ops, and Strike-Force. 
       (These are the only Mods that have been tested.)
    f. Added a "Status" tab that shows a report of the maps and players 
       that were voted for and the number of votes for each.
    k. Added an "About" tab and renamed the "Players" tab to "Kick" to 
       make more room for tabs.                          
       
2.6 Fixed the problem that prevented voting windows from opening when 
    connected to a listening server.                          
          
2.7 - Added an option to load map names from the map cycle list instead
      of all maps.
    - Added mouse wheel and keyboard (up,down,pageup,pagedown) scrolling
      support for list boxes.
    - Added a 1 second screen-shot loading delay to the map window. This
      reduces scrolling delays caused by the loading of the screen-shot image. 
    - Integrated message sender. Pops up when the Talk button is pressed.
    - After placing a vote the window will now switch to the "Status" tab.
    - Moved the configuration settings into UnrealTournament.ini instead of 
      MapVote.ini.
    - Add a configurable Score Board time Delay. This is the amount of time 
      that it waits before opening the voting windows after the end of the 
      game. This will allow players to look at the final scores before voting. 
    - Added an option to disable player kick voting.
    - Added an option to disable End-of-Game voting. Allows server to run as
      normal and cycle through the map list. Players can only vote during 
      the game. 
    - Added code that eliminates the currently played map from a tie. 
      This was requested by a user.
    - The "Remove Save" button on the "Admin" configuation window will now 
      reload the map list with the new configuation. In other words you can
      change game types and the map list will change right away.
      Note: Any open voting windows will have to be closed and reopened to
      refresh the map list on the player/client side.
    - Added a 3 second delay between the closing of all voting windows to 
      the switching of the level on the server. 
    - Fixed the "Failed to load 'NULL': Can't resolve package name" error 
      log message by preventing the loading of the Other game class if the
      Other Game type has not been checked.
    - Changed the WRI class back to the original code. This will break 
      compatiblity with V400 of UT.
    - Added a fix for the Tactical Ops v1.6 Tie Game problem where the 
      voting window would not open at game end because of sudden death 
      overtime. Also added a config option to disable this if needed.
    - Added an option that determines if a tie game is checked for when 
      using a Other Game type (Mods). This is used to tell Map-Vote if 
      the Mod game can go into OverTime so that it will not open the voting 
      windows during a sudden death overtime situation.

2.8 - Added an "Auto Detect" option that will automatically detect the game 
      type that the server was started with and load the appropriate maps. 
      This will make configuration incredibly easy, especially for MODs.
    - Fixed Spectator voting problem. Spectators can not vote now.

2.9 - Fix the 256 map limit bug. In network play the Unreal engine will not 
      replicate arrays that have more than 256 items in them. So, I created
      4 arrays. The limit is now 1020 maps. 
    - Removed the ".unr" from map names. 
    - The map list is now sorted correctly and NOT case sensitive. 
    - Client side GPF crash fix - Removed the MyWRI variable from the 
      MapVoteTabWindow to eliminate the GPF crash caused by garbage 
      collection and converted all Client-To-Server replicated function 
      into Mutate console commands. 
         
2.9a - Fixed the Map Rotation list problem that was introduced in 2.9

3.0 - Main Voting Window redesigned. Consolidated the Map, Kick, Status,
      and Message sending windows into one.(Thanks to Ouch for the idea.)
    - Added Welcome Window
    - Added KeyBinder Window
    - Moved code for detecting players entering the game from the 
      ModifyPlayer() fuction to Tick().
      This fixes StrikeForce,TactOps, and UnF Kick vote problems.
    - Added Accumulation,Scoring, and Elimination modes.                
    - Added MapPreFix OverRide. So that users playing MODs 
      can filter out maps.
    - Added Configurable Mid-Game voting percentage.               
    - Added Configurable Map Repeat limit. (Don't load previous X maps)
    - Added PlayerIDs to the KickVote player list.
    - Added MapVoteHistory which keeps track of how many times each map
      has been played.
    - Added Double Click voting. Just double click the name of the map 
      in the list.
    - Doesn't broadcast a message when the player votes for the same 
      map again. 
    - Fixed Spectator detection so that Dead Tactical Ops players can 
      still vote.
    - Added client side option to disable screen shot loading.
    - You can now click the name of a map or player in the voting 
      Status list and it will select the map or player for you in
      the main list.
    - Map Search option. Users can type the beginning of a maps name
      to find it faster.
    - Added the total map count to display on the window.
    - Spectators now show in the kick vote list box, (in gray) so 
      that you can kick them.
    - Player names are shown in Red or Blue to indicate which team 
      they are on.
    - Fixed Player Kick percentage detection. Had a rounding error
      in version 2.x.
    - Added Map Information viewer.

3.01- Added a Debug Logging option (to the mutator code) that logs extra 
      code execution flow identification information  to the log. 
    - Fixed the Keybinder button on the Config tab.
    - Added a 20 tick delay in the processing of new players that join the server.
    - Changed the KeyBinder Window so that it is only opened if the player doesn't 
      have a hot key bound. Once he binds a key it will never pop up again.
    - Added a new "Reload Maps" button to the Admin tab window and moved the 
      reloading of maps out of the "Save" button code. Now you can save configuration 
      changes without reloading maps. This was a problem with servers that have a 
      large number of maps, it would cause bad lag while reloading maps.

3.02- Fixed the OtherGame type PreFixOverride option. 
    - Added map name prefix swapping. This allows you to change the map prefix when
      displayed in the maplist. For example you could show all CTF-* maps as FLAG-*.
    - Added Debug config option to Admin window.
    - Added option to specify sorting with or with out prefixes. 
    - Automatically closes admin window after reloading maps.
    - Added ability to load LMS, TDM, and DM maps at the same time.
      It changes the map names for TDM and LMS 
      (ie , DM-Conveyor would become TDM-Conveyor and LMS-Conveyor)
    - Removed "show welcome window" check box from config window tab
    - Admin override that will allow an instant map changes and kicks by the server admin.
    - Added automatic suicide and disconnect if "AIMCHEAT" keybind is detected.
    - Change Eliminated maps names instead of removing them from the list.
      Displays them in red and prevents players from voting for them.
      Note: The admin can vote for them.
    - Limited history reports to 100 map names results to prevent lag
    - Detects Map Switch failure. Sometimes map switching fails because the server is
      missing a texture or music file that the map depends on. When this happened the
      server would keep retrying the map switch and end up in an infinite loop.
      If a map switch failure is detected then MapVote automatically select another map
      from the list at random and switch to it instead.
    - Included the new MapVoteHistoryX16 addon that allows you to keep your map history
      information separated for up to 16 servers on the same physical server.
    - Included the new ServerInfo UT web server addon that allows you to server up a 
      single HTML page for the Welcome Window without web server software. 

3.03- Fixed PlayerID array indexing bug in CleanUpPlayerIDs function. 
      (Thanks to [CTCR]TheCatcher for catching this one.)
    - Added extra safegards to trap invalid player indexes. 
    - Fixed post LevelSwitchPending voting bug that allowed votes to be calculated after 
      a map has already won. Also prevents windows from being opened while level switch is pending.
    - Fix bug that prevented admins from voting for eliminated maps.
    - Fix bug that prevented other mutators from getting the HandleEndGame mutator function call   

3.04- Decreased WRI NetPriority from 10 to 1 (server network performance)
    - Decreased WRI NetUpdateFrequency to 1 (server network performance)
    - Fixed Elimination mode bug, Thanks to Mr.Mitchell from the Bad-Lands mod for finding this bug.

Wow , that one looks pretty explanatory and descriptive too.
