Mapvote

A customizable mapvote script for the multiplayer mode of Modern Warfare 3.

This works for both custom games and dedicated servers.

This is heavily inspired by LastDemon99's IW5 mapvote.
Huge thanks to him.

Mouse and keyboard input. Changed settings: horizontal spacing: 100

Controller input. Custom map. Changed settings: red colors, accent mode: max

mapvote.gsc

Main features

• It allows up to 12 elements (maps + modes) to be displayed on screen
• You can configure how much maps and modes you want on screen
• It will automatically adapt the amount of elements to display if you don't choose a fixed amount of maps/modes to show
• It has separate map and mode choices
• It supports custom maps
• It supports custom display names for maps
• It supports custom DSR
• It supports custom gamemode names
• It rotates a random map from the list when there are no votes for maps. Same applies for modes too
• You can choose to rotate a random map and mode from a list you define when the human players count is between a min and max values you define (disabled by default)
• Controllers are fully supported and work out of the box
• It has a good level of customization
• It has a debug mode to quickly preview the menu and print some values in the console

Getting started

By default the script is disabled to avoid running on all your servers.
Simply set mapvote_enable to 1 and the script will be loaded, which as a result will display the voting menu when the game ends (after the killcam).

To configure the menu before putting it on your server I recommend running it in a custom game with the mapvote_debug dvar set to 1.
To do that use this command in the console set mapvote_enable 1;set mapvote_debug 1 before running a custom game.
Start a custom game and you will see the menu.
You can then configure the dvars directly in your console and restart the map with map_restart in the console to edit the menu quickly and get your perfect setup.

Dvars

Here are the dvars you can configure:

Name	Description	Default value	Accepted values
mapvote_enable	Toggle whether the mapvote is activated or not. 0 is off and 1 is on	0	0 or 1

mapvote_modes	A list of the modes that are available for rotation. The first parameter is how the mode will be displayed, it can be set to anything you like, the second parameter is the name of the DSR file to load	"Team Deathmatch,TDM_default:Domination,DOM_default"	Any text followed by a comma (,) and then the cfg name. Each block is separated with a colon (:)
mapvote_additional_maps_dvars	A list of dvar name(s) that contain additional maps, respecting the mapvote_maps format. See Adding a custom map	""	Any valid dvar name that has a list of maps as value. Each dvar name is separated with a colon (:)
mapvote_limits_maps	The amount of maps to display. 0 will handle it automatically	0	Any plain number from 0 to mapvote_limits_max
mapvote_limits_modes	The amount of modes to display. 0 will handle it automatically	0	Any plain number from 0 to mapvote_limits_max
mapvote_limits_max	The maximum amount of elements to display (maps + modes)	12	2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
mapvote_colors_selected	The color of the text when hovered or selected. This is also the color of the votes count	blue	red, green, yellow, blue, cyan, purple, white, grey, gray, black

mapvote_blur_fade_in_time	The time (in seconds) it takes for the blur to reach mapvote_blur_level. For example if you set it to 10 and mapvote_blur_level is 5 then it will progressively blur the screen from 0 to 5 in 10 seconds	2	Any number
mapvote_horizontal_spacing	The horizontal spacing between the map/mode names on the left and the vote counts on the right. I recommend setting this value according to the longest map or mode name length so that it doesn't overlap with the vote counts	75	Any plain number

Adding a custom map

[IMPORTANT] MW3 has a limit of 1024 characters for dvars so the value of mapvote_maps cannot be longer than that or it will fail to read it properly.

For this reason there are ways to add a custom map to your rotation:

Adding a custom map the classic way

You can simply add your map normally to mapvote_maps while being sure the dvar doesn't have more than 1024 characters.
So for example, if you wanted to add Scrapyard as a custom map in your rotation "Seatown,mp_seatown:Dome,mp_dome" would become "Seatown,mp_seatown:Dome,mp_dome:Scrapyard,mp_boneyard"

Adding a custom map the advanced way

On the other hand, if mapvote_maps is close to having more than 1024 characters or if you want to better organize your custom maps you can use the system I put in place.

Simply create a dvar with any name you want, for example mapvote_maps_mw2 and then add maps to it the same way you add maps to mapvote_maps and respecting the 1024 characters limit too.
Finally, add the name of this dvar to mapvote_additional_maps_dvars.
So in this example mapvote_additional_maps_dvars "mapvote_maps_mw2".
The script will then automatically read all values from mapvote_maps and mapvote_maps_mw2, all your maps will be taken into account for the randomization of available maps.

You can simply repeat this process to add even more dvars in case you go up to the characters limit again or if you simply want to organize your maps dvars.
For example you could create an additional dvar named mapvote_maps_bo2 that holds some maps and then add it to the list of dvars like this mapvote_additional_maps_dvars "mapvote_maps_mw2:mapvote_maps_bo2".

Note that you can change the value of mapvote_maps to a single space " " if you don't want any map in this dvar.
It will then only get maps from the additional dvars and will ignore the original dvar.
This can be useful to organise your maps dvars.

Notes

• Capture the Flag is very buggy and will not be fixed. It pretty much breaks the entire mapvote script so I recommend to not add it.
  From the tests I did it seems a lot of things outside of my mapvote break it and I'm not willing to fight with so much unknown bugs coming from the outside
• If right click is set to toggle ads then pressing right click will make the player go up by one every 0.25s until he right clicks again.
  If I didn't change it to be that way players with toggle ads would have to press right click twice to go up by one all the time.
  Now instead they simply right click once to start going up and right click again to stop which is a better user experience.
• When there's only one map/mode, instead of showing a single vote possibility, your single map/mode will be hidden to make the user experience better but it will still always rotate to your one map/mode
• If some map/mode names or vote count don't display at all then you probably have other scripts that create HUD elements and there's too much elements to display so either remove your script or lower mapvote_limits_max so that the mapvote will have less elements to display
• When two maps/modes have the same votes, the lowest one in the list will win. In the future it would be nice to randomize between both
• The game doesn't seem to have a way to display the correct key for aiming (whether you use hold to ads or toggle ads) so after trying multiple solutions I decided to simply put both keys on screen. It's not perfect but this ensures the players have all the information to use the menu properly
• Once you enable your controller the game seems to never display the keyboard key again for the Use key (Undo). It's a pretty situational/rare bug but it would be nice to find another key or a way to somehow fix it in the future
