Destroy HUDs once the timer runs out The mapvote HUDs used to stay until the map rotated which as a result would display the mapvote HUDs even when the timer had run out and the game was trying to only display the scoreboard to have a clean post game screen. It would also unnecessarily allow players to still use the menu although the vote was already ended
Mapvote
A customizable mapvote script for both multiplayer and survival.
It also works on zombies but it crashes after some time.
[IMPORTANT] If you want to use this mapvote in zombies then read the notes section.
This works for both custom games and dedicated servers.
Multiplayer mode. Mouse and keyboard input. Changed settings: horizontal spacing: 100
Survival mode. Controller input. Changed settings: red colors, accent mode: max
Zombies mode. Mouse and keyboard input. Changed settings: purple colors, horizontal spacing: 50
mapvote.gsc
[IMPORTANT] Installing _gamelogic.gsc
in s1x\maps\mp\gametypes
(in the game folder) is mandatory to make the mapvote work normally.
Main features
- It allows up to 10 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 for multiplayer
- It supports custom gamemode names in multiplayer
- It rotates a random map from the list when there are no votes for maps. Same applies for modes in multiplayer 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 in multiplayer and once every players are dead in survival or zombies).
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.

Notes
- In zombies if you set
mapvote_limits_max
to 4 the game crashes after a few games because of an overflow error that I wasn't able to fix.
The temporary fix I found is to set the limit to 3 which makes it crash after dozens of games.
For this reason I only recommend using this mapvote script in zombies if you set the limit to 2 or 3 and play custom games or if your server isn't running 24/7 and you monitor it since it will eventually crash. - Sadly I was unable to find how to set blur on the player screen so there's no blur
- 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. Note that some maps can display more elements than others so I recommend quickly trying all your maps if you change the values - 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
- Ending the game with ESC doesn't work when in debug mode.
Usemap_restart
in the console when your script is compiled. And if you want to leave usedisconnect
in the console until this is fixed
_gamelogic.gsc
A copy of %localappdata%\xlabs\data\s1x\data\maps\mp\gametypes\_gamelogic.gsc
to make the mapvote work.
It has to be installed in the s1x\maps\mp\gametypes
directory found in your game folder so that it replaces the game's _gamelogic.gsc
.
The only thing that was changed is that the mapvote call logic has been added to waittillfinalkillcamdone()
