Number of Callvote

Post by PhantomFang »

hi!
I wanted to know why we have a limited number of callvote? ( 5 )
if it's for Spam I find that this reason is not so justified, it means that we can just do for example
vote for
1) put 5 bots
2) Put the bots in sk6
3) finally put only 3 bot
4) change map
5) go to the next map

and if there are people who vote no all the time :frown: bha we are quickly at an impasse could you increase this number? please?

Hi,

that is something I completey forgot about when making the bot vote(s). The bot skill vote is not yet in upstream, but the problem is.

I am quite sure that this limit was introduced as a spam protection. I agree that we should increase this value, at least a little. Map testing server now uses a limit of 12 instead of 5.

Technical details: this is controlled by g_voteLimit, server operators can change it without patching the source code.

ok I see but that means that even on your server we can put 12 callvote?
thank you for your quick response

for g_voteLimit in the console we put g_voteLimit 16 ?

It should not be possible for users the change to vote limit, it is set in the server configuration. One reason to set a limit on votes is this: players can prevent useful votes by repeatedly spamming useless votes. This works, as we can only have one vote at a time.

So I'm not sure if disabling the limit completely is a good idea. I will have to talk to the team about that.

thank you for your quick response

Sure :smile:

@Sweet
it's true that putting only one vote at a time is a good idea, however I'm not saying to set the number of votes to infinity but just to increase it...

I will have to talk to the team about that.

but of course, I understand :grin:

@Gireen
Can we increase the number of votes with a Vote?
for example
/callvote extended vote 10 ? :smile:

hi!
ouais...
on the other hand I used 12 callvote (there was nobody) and in fact it was a bugged map, I broke all the humanis spawns and killed all the Humans and the map did not finish, and I could not put a vote for the end so I was blocked... I think you should be given an unlimited number if you are alone on the server...

that would be indeed a good addition, votes for the limit could only be counted if there are more then one player
