Mod: Voting Handler Fix

That's not a bad idea. If someone could try this and tell us the results please as im interested in it.

Marco already did it in his ServerPerks mutator If you add a custom weapon or player model in the ServerPerks.ini, the package containing it will be automatically added without the need of manual adding to the ServerPackages.

Sorry for double post. I quickly wrote a mutator to load server packages in a runtime. Not sure if it works as it supposed to, but you can try it.

Source:

// Loads specified packages to ServerPackages
// (c) PooSH, 2012

Class PackageLoader extends Mutator
	Config(PackageLoader);
	
var() globalconfig array<string> Packages;

event PreBeginPlay()
{
	local int i;
	
	if ( !MutatorIsAllowed() )
		Destroy();
	//add myself
	AddToPackageMap();
	
	for( i=0; i< Packages.Length; i++ ) {
		AddToPackageMap(Packages[i]);
		Log("Package" @ Packages[i] @ "added",Class.Outer.Name);
	}
}

static function FillPlayInfo(PlayInfo PlayInfo)
{
	Super.FillPlayInfo(PlayInfo);

	PlayInfo.AddSetting("PackageLoader","Packages","Packages to Load",1,1,"Text","42",,,True);
}

static event string GetDescriptionText(string PropName)
{
	switch (PropName)
	{
		case "Packages":			return "Package list to load to ServerPackages.";
	}
	return Super.GetDescriptionText(PropName);
}


defaultproperties
{
  bAddToServerPackages = true;
  GroupName="KF-PkgLdr"
  FriendlyName="Package Loader"
  Description="Mutators adds specified packages to the ServerPackages"
}

Has v2 been whitelisted yet?

Not yet as the whitelist hasn't been updated. It will do when the Summer event ends.

Does V1 and V2 still need 2k4menus.utx, or is it just V1 that needs it

They both need it.

Good post!, Thank you very much!

[aztechrome]

So, the summer event has ended... has v2 been whitelisted? I'd like to try it out, but anything that stops perk progression drives people away from my server.

Alright guys so back to square one. For some reason the mapvote handler (versions one and two) cause an error somewhere and this dewhitelists macs. What i mean is when a mac user plays a server with votehandler they have level zero perks. Can we fix this cause I love the handler but my mac buddies cant play on the server because of it.

Are you definitely sure that its that mutator? I've had a friend on a Mac play on our servers with no issues. I believe with both versions.

I've added the mutator to the server and then macs had no perks. Once I take it off perks are back. Idk why though, my logs have never showed anything to point to the reason.

Hello, I'm a mac user in EpharGy's servers and I had the same issues once.

I solved it by doing this: http://forums.tripwireinteractive.co...9&postcount=24

Try installing the mutator/s, let your friend join (so they download the mutators on cache folder) and then tell them to try it.

[hoodedthefox]

umm 1. you have to install the mutator that's how it works. Two you have to download it to cache to play.

If you read the post they linked, it looks like all that might be needed is for the client to install the mutator manually (can just take them out of the cache if they know how to rename them correctly etc)

Then try to reconnect, it shouldn't need to download them from then.


It worth a shot, your Mac users don't really have anything to lose do they?

[hoodedthefox]

I've placed the files onto their computers from a flash drive to make sure they had the files

[hoodedthefox]

So anything new on this issue?

[Dinamix]

Hello all, I am using 2v and there is a bug when you can make many fake vote wich it counts as different player even it's the same person.Could someone fix it?
