[!NOTE] The ingame votemap feature is only available on PC, as it relies on keyboard inputs in chat.
Console servers owners can still use a third-party tool to enable votemap on Discord.

Enabling votemap will allow your players to choose the next map to be played.

When enabled, votemap will superseed any defined map rotation.

In-Game Texts

These are the messages content your players will receive ingame.
Remember these messages pop in the top-right corner of the screen :
most players won't read them when engaged in an intense fight,
so try to keep them as short as possible.

[!TIP] Don't forget to click on the "SAVE CHANGES" button when done.

Reminder text sent to player to vote

Make sure you add the {map_selection} variable in it

Vote for next map
ie. for map [2], enter: !vm 2

{map_selection}

Hide vote calls:
!vm never

Thank you for voting message

This one isn't mandatory.
Leaving it blank will disable it.

Thanks {player_name} !

You voted for:
{map_name}

Help text

This one will be displayed when the player enters !vm help, a blank vote command or a wrong vote number.

Available maps: !vm
Vote for map [2]: !vm 2
Hide vote calls: !vm never
Reenable vote calls: !vm allow

Other settings

Players will be able to choose the next map from a selection of maps that are on a defined whitelist (see below).

Here you'll define the way this selection is made, amongst other things.

Player preferences

Displaying the message

  • Reminder frequency minutes

    Min : 0 (will only be displayed at match's end)
    Max : a warfare match can last 90 minutes, offensive can last 150 minutes
    Recommended : 0, as ingame messages are intrusive and players tend no to read them
    Reasonable : 45 (mid warfare match, so it's displayed only 2 times)

  • Warfare

    The number of warfare maps you want to be in your selection
    Min : 0
    Max : as much as you have warfare maps in your whitelist

  • Offensive

    The number of offensive maps you want to be in your selection
    Min : 0
    Max : as much as you have offensive maps in your whitelist

  • Control skirmish

    The number of skirmish maps you want to be in your selection
    Min : 0
    Max : as much as you have skirmish maps in your whitelist

  • Number of recently played maps excluded

    That number adds up to the current map, which is always excluded
    Min : 0
    Max : as much as the number of maps in your whitelist minus two
    Recommended : 1

[!TIP] Don't forget to click on the "SAVE CHANGES" button when done.

Defining a whitelist

You can add as many maps as you want in the whitelist.

[!WARNING] Having defined votemap whitelist in autosettings will overwrite your manual map whitelist.

[!TIP] Don't forget to click on the "SAVE WHITELIST" button when done.
