In Game Voting

Personally whilst i see the need for it, the implementation of it leaves a lot to be desired.

Having people call votes during a game is distracting and the fact there doesn't appear to be a limit as to 'how many' votes each player can cast, it's a mess, i've had games where one player would call the same vote over and over and over.

Anyhoo, i disabled the voting using "voting": { "votekickplayer": false, "votechangemap": false, "voteresetgame": false, "voterandomizerr": false } in the ServerConfig.json in the previous builds.

However with this latest patch, the voting is now back and enabled.

Was anything changed?

If so, can i have the updated command to disable it again?

I prefer to use the Shine Admin mod for administration.

Many thanks in advance!

    I know it's been a while, and you might have found the solution already, but it appears that it was moved to under the settings section rather than it's own section.

    This is what I think it used to be:
    {
    "tags": [ "rookie" ],
    "settings": {
    "rookie_friendly": true,
    "auto_kick_afk_capacity": 0.5,
    "end_round_on_team_unbalance": 0.4,
    "force_even_teams_on_join": true,
    "auto_team_balance": {
    "enabled_after_seconds": 10,
    "enabled_on_unbalance_amount": 2
    },
    "reserved_slots": {
    "amount": 0,
    "ids": [ ]
    },
    "voting": {
    "votekickplayer": true,
    "votechangemap": true,
    "voterandomizerr": true,
    "voteresetgame": true
    },
    "end_round_on_team_unbalance_after_warning_time": 30,
    "auto_kick_afk_time": 300,
    "end_round_on_team_unbalance_check_after_time": 300
    }
    }

    But if you move "voting" to a sub-section of the "settings" section like the following, it seems to work:
    {
    "tags": [ "rookie" ],
    "settings": {
    "rookie_friendly": true,
    "auto_kick_afk_capacity": 0.5,
    "end_round_on_team_unbalance": 0.4,
    "force_even_teams_on_join": true,
    "auto_team_balance": {
    "enabled_after_seconds": 10,
    "enabled_on_unbalance_amount": 2,
    "voting": {
    "votekickplayer": true,
    "votechangemap": true,
    "voterandomizerr": true,
    "voteresetgame": true
    },
    },
    "reserved_slots": {
    "amount": 0,
    "ids": [ ]
    },

    "end_round_on_team_unbalance_after_warning_time": 30,
    "auto_kick_afk_time": 300,
    "end_round_on_team_unbalance_check_after_time": 300
    }
    }

    Please only disable voting if you have admins on your server 24/7
    Nothing can kill a server faster than an un fixable problem (a bug, a griefer, bad map, a hacker etc)

    Agreed, there is currently a 'disappearing hive bug' my server suffers from once in a blue moon (been around for a few builds now) so i've given people the ability to vote for new map when this occurs.
