Go play some Rust, don't have to worry about a map vote since it's up for a month.

DO NOT PLAY RUST!! The admin team in there are asshats... They'll kick you just for fun...

See? See?  Bitched at if we DO switch maps  and  bitched at if we DO NOT switch maps.  Darn idiots don't know what they want.

I would never let a bad map have this many fights. But as a cod5 guy who made a cod4 map that drives the cod4 crew crazy I would say my map is AWSOME  

[J3st3r]

@Labob It's a good map but the sound is ALL fucked up. There are constant ambient sounds that are so loud that you can not hear anything else. Can't hear a grenade land at your feet or even hear the damn thing go off. Ambient sounds work ok in COD5 maps but tend to glitch out on COD4.

 

The 1st version has random spawns. IMO that is unplayable. Especially when people quickly figure out that all you have to do is spawn and back up a couple of feet and camp where you just spawned and spawn kill the shit out of people.  That's horrible.

We really do not understand your reaction yesterday. There was a vote... Am not American but I could vote and anyone else could. This is not rocket science... just read the chat in the game... during the game.

I watch text chat all the time as well as play - if there had have been a vote then I would have voted - I don't believe there was a vote

Just to put this all to rest. Yes there was a vote. Yes it is in the logs. Along with the discussion you had with the others about it on the next map.

I think an apology would be nice FlyingDutch, looks like you are wrong, takes guts to do it but for the best.

so playing COD4 main server just now and a map was skipped which is a good map.  I asked why this happened and was told there was a vote.  then i was told that the vote was only for americans, then i questioned that the vote didn't happen in game.

I then got told i was going to be kicked for questioning this.

I quit.

 

Can a senior admin tell me what on earth happened or perhaps pull up the logs of this "vote" ??

Is it not easier just to have the old F1 and F2 "Yes" or "No" vote system in? It will save so much time and people getting bitchy. Or, you know, take out the maps that don't get played. It's always down to majority vote and learning which maps don't get played. I moderate CoD2, I know what maps don't get played and I remove them from rotation. I will also ask everyone if they want me to change the map. If there are more Yes votes than No then I change it. If those that voted no get pissy, tough shit really - it was a majority. So I agree with Crimson here, he did the right thing in moving the map after calling a vote.

What does annoy me though is when everyone gets into spec and starts throwing a bitch fit at those still playing.

Sure, you can handle counting yes votes as they come over the text chat, making sure to only count XI member votes and ignore all the other stuff flying across the chat at the same time.  Sounds easy.

shift + ~ brings up the expanded chat history, as long as a scrolling 'Icecrack' or some other shit doesn't spam it out of sight in .005 seconds.

Yeah - usually there is some sound file or some other fugly thing on the maps that streams a bazillion errors in the console on me, so that doesn't always work.  Sometimes it works out that way.

Thankfully skipping maps is generally not common, anyway.  Sure would be nice if we had a 21st century solution for this.  If an admin or mod could simply call a vote and have an actual voting app in-game so people could vote and take the human counting part of it out... I think everyone would like that.

[Sammy]

For voting, there are a whole lot of players that are regulars but not in-fact members. Shouldnt they have a voice?

@Bogleg Cod4 actually has this function built in : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxkfrcusXtg  

It seems to be disabled currently on our server, not sure if its because of the mod or not. Perhaps @Sammy could shed some light on this, as it may simplify voting if it can be enabled.

[Sammy]

I think because in the past people were abusing it by constantly calling for votes. There is no way to limit it to admins.

And just for clarification in case anyone asks,  quite a few mods (including a much older version of OW2) did use a menu-based method that allowed limited access. But it also required adding a guid based system to access an admin menu. You could do some pretty fun things with it.  But if anyone remembers, there was once a time where a hacker somehow got my guid and used it to get into that menu. He wreaked some havok and went so far as to ban people, under my name. So that kind of admin control was removed from it and wont be back.
