We'd need something like a map and gamemode voting screen at the end of each match right before the server is going to change the map.

Yeah, that's the thing. VC always comes up with interesting ideas, but they often if not always require people to read up and think - and that's where they fail. Like many people don't get LALD even with the integrated gameplay help. They go like "Why don't I get points and that guy I just shot respawns? And when I'm killed I can't spawn? BS! *ragequit*".

That's why I already proposed - in another thread though - that handicapping should be the other way around. Players can choose to handicap themselves having -10 armor, -10 health or whatever. You could encourage this by giving more points to players playing with a handicap. So good player will go for the handicap (but on a level they feel comfortable with) while bad players won't feel like their hands are being held. Though I like VC's idea that the server offers handicaps to weaker players - and automatically disables the handicap once they're improving.

I know it's close to impossible to do, but maybe allowing people to change settings without the console would help lan parties. Really capture the fun of sitting down with your friends, choosing some fun settings and going at it.

Great idea! (if sv_lan == 1 && ge_lanvote == 1 present lan options screen before starting the match (match time, round time, scenario, weaponset, etc.))


Listen, I'll be square with everyone, we plan on having a voting panel come up at the end of each match for the NEXT map. This would replace all SM plugins and be very interactive and in your face. Voting would be for Gameplay Scenario and Map.

Only if the weapon set is not randomized (ie random_loadout)
