Title: Vote confirmation thingy
Post by: Overdose on September 01, 2009, 08:24:35 pm

After accidentally selecting yes on a map vote for Mission One today I came up with an idea. What if when you voted it showed some type of confirmation for your choice? For instance:

Code: [Select]

"Vote: Change to map ATCS?"
<Pressed F1>
"Vote cast (F1) to change to map ATCS."
<Press F1 again while vote still in progress>
"Vote already cast (F1) to change to map ATCS."
Obviously, the syntax could be different so that it would work for more than just map votes. But overall I think it's a decent idea. Comments? Suggestions? Someone willing to try it?


P.S. - I can't code so don't even mention it, I'm just throwing this out there.

I agree. I'll accidentally hit F1/F2 and mean the other.

I also agree, especially during a tough fire fight. It can become a simple mistake when your too busy playing to mind the votes and have to pay for it after the game.

But this in mind that it could mean that the votes could change drastically for the better or for the worst.

I think this could work:

seta F1_first "echo Press again F1 to vote yes; bind F1 vstr F1_confirm"
seta F1_confirm "vote yes; echo Voted yes; bind F1 vstr F1_first"
bind F1 "vstr F1_first"

seta F2_first "echo Press again F2 to vote no; bind F2 vstr F2_confirm"
seta F2_confirm "vote yes; echo Voted no; bind F1 vstr F2_first"
bind F2 "vstr F2_first"

Add it to the "autogen.cfg" on your base folder ^^
I can't try it now, but I think it should work.

I know how to do it in my own config files but I thought it would be simpler to implement it server side so that everyone would be able to use it.

You could change your vote in R1CH's QVM. Bring it back?  :police:

One of the few things I miss from R1's server.
