limit maps to vote for

[zyxstand]

this is probably a simple and most likely useful idea for hosts:
Limit which maps can be voted for.  If you want to host a strictly CTF server, then you can't vote for non-ctf maps.  Likewise, if you want to do only climbing or TW or something special, this could come handy.  Perhaps a separate .txt file containing allowed maps to vote for?

If you want to host a strictly CTF server, then just remove the non-ctf maps from the maps folder. Simple as.

I don't see the point of having a separate .txt with votable maps based on the problem you posed in your post.

This is a well discussed topic

IMO The textfile approach would be a quick way to implement, but clumsy to use.

but then you can't host different servers at the same time or if you host different kinds of servers at different times.  There should be a programming way rather than a "let me remove all the maps i don't want" to do this.

i agree, quite often ppl try to vote on a map that isnt on my list, and wonder why it doesnt work, i think i know what zyxstand is getting at

in any game you can attempt a vote for any map in your computer, which is often not on the servers list

so, is there a way that soldat can be programmed to only show the maps that are on the servers list only when picking a map to vote?
