plugin_kwan_mapvote.sma

Abstract:
This Adminmod plugin delivers a better map vote interface 5 minutes before the end of a game (mp_timelimit).

Introduction:
plugin_kwan_mapvote.sma is a replacement for plugin_hldsld_mapvote.sma that comes packaged with Adminmod.
As well written and robust hlds_ld style voting is, it seems that some players don't vote since they
do not realize an hlds_ld style vote is in progress, or that an hlds_ld style map vote requires too many keystrokes.

The command admin_vote_map seems to alleviate these problems.  admin_vote_map appears on every client until
a vote has been cast or until voting is closed, thus fixing the ignorance problem.  In addition, in order
to vote, the client simply needs only 1 keystroke to enter a vote.  However, admin_vote_map does have
a couple of drawbacks.  admin_vote_map only allows for only 1 map to vote on and does NOT autostart.

I present this plugin to the Adminmod community.  plugin_kwan_mapvote.sma is a plugin which starts a vote
in the same format as admin_vote_map, however, a list of maps (up to 9) appears as voting options
as opposed to "1.yes 2.no" that admin_vote_map only allows.  This gives your clients a wider choice of
maps to vote on with simply 1 keystroke.

The list of maps are customizable and robust.

Instructions:

Usage - admin_map_vote2 - to kick off a map vote.

Advanced users:
If you want to autostart the vote enable admin_vote_autostart in your adminmod.cfg, also disable other auto map_voting schemes.
Place a list of maps to be voted on in your cstrike directory called map_vote2_pool.ini, one map
per line.
