Partly Adequate Mapvote (Legacy)

Description
Disclaimer
There is a new version which is more modular and more configurable, but doesn't work on it's own. (Which is why I'll keep v1.5.2 available here)

Description
This Garry's Mod addon adds a comfortable way to democratically vote on maps. This addon already works for a couple of gamemodes (full list below). There also is an easy to use api to make this work for even more gamemodes (see below). The code is available here [github.com]. I no longer intend to update this version however.

RTV
When enabled, players can use a the command "pam_rtv" to start a vote without needing admin permissions. Once enough players ran this commands a vote starts.

Gamemode Independence
Pam natively supports these gamemodes:
You can add support for other gamemodes by:
  • running PAM.Start() when a certain number of rounds is reached
  • running PAM.CheckForDelayedRTV() when a round ends. (or another point is reached where the map can be changed)
The implementations for natively supported gamemodes are in this file[github.com].

Default UI Features
  • Maps can be marked as favorites for easier access.
  • There is a search bar.
  • Maps can be sorted.
  • There is an option to only show maps that are being voted on currently

Playcounts
PAM saves how often each map was played on a server.

Extensions
Other addons can change the ui of pam entirely. Use the command pam_extension_manager to open a menu to enable/disable different extensions. There are a couple of differently sizes votescreens by default. This is useful for displays with higher resolution

Another example would be:
PAM - MapVote-Like Map Voting which allows clients to use the UI of MapVote - Fretta-like Map Voting

Commands
  • The command "pam_toggle_menu" toggles visibility of the votescreen.
  • The command "pam_rtv" makes the player vote for rtv.
  • The command "pam_extension_manager" opens the extension manager.

Easy to configure
PAM is configured via convars.

Hey, ich hab ein Map Icon Pack mit meinen Screenshots (89 pics) aufm Workshop veröffentlicht. Will vorschlagen, ob du es unter Shoutouts auflisten möchtest

I gotta say, this is a really nice and moddable system you've created here. As easy as fretta-like map voting is to use, it doesn't have nearly the kind of customisation or informative UI as yours does (at least for a layman like me).

Good work! I'm really happy with how this addon functions when my friends and I play TTT.

The new version is now released. (Bugs are to be expected)

Thanks figured it out. Just need to upload my own addon with my thumbnails then just add it to the server collection.
Reispfannenfresser  [author] 24 Feb, 2021 @ 12:19pm 
I don't know why that would be the case, but i will create a guide at some point since lots of people seem to have similar issues.

For now this is all I've got:
1. Make sure the files are in the "maps" or the "maps/thumb" folder (preferably "maps/thumb")
2. Make sure the name of the image is the exact same as the name of the map
3. The resolution shouldn't matter as long as it's a square (larger images take longer to load though which will negatively affect performance)
4. Have you tried turning it off and on again?
CoolChiz 23 Feb, 2021 @ 2:14pm 
Is there a reason why some thumbnails show up and others don't? I made them 200x200, png, and same map name

It momentarily is very difficult to configure pam properly on this branch, but i'm working on creating a proper configuration system. I will update the workshop version once it's finished.
Reispfannenfresser  [author] 3 Feb, 2021 @ 8:38pm 
here [github.com] no guarantee on it working though. (feel free to report bugs if you want :UltimateChameleon:)
