Note

The ingame votemap feature is only available on PC, as it relies on keyboard inputs in chat.
Console servers owners can still use a third-party tool to enable votemap on Discord.

Enabling votemap will allow your players to choose the next map to be played.

When enabled, votemap will superseed any defined map rotation.

In-Game Texts

These are the messages content your players will receive ingame.
Remember these messages pop in the top-right corner of the screen :
most players won't read them when engaged in an intense fight,
so try to keep them as short as possible.

Tip

Don't forget to click on the "SAVE CHANGES" button when done.

Reminder text sent to player to vote

Make sure you add the {map_selection} variable in it

Vote for next map
ie. for map [2], enter: !vm 2

Displaying the message

• Reminder frequency minutes

  Min : 0 (will only be displayed at match's end)
  Max : a warfare match can last 90 minutes, offensive can last 150 minutes
  Recommended : 0, as ingame messages are intrusive and players tend no to read them
  Reasonable : 45 (mid warfare match, so it's displayed only 2 times)

• Warfare

  The number of warfare maps you want to be in your selection
  Min : 0
  Max : as much as you have warfare maps in your whitelist

• Offensive

  The number of offensive maps you want to be in your selection
  Min : 0
  Max : as much as you have offensive maps in your whitelist

• Control skirmish

  The number of skirmish maps you want to be in your selection
  Min : 0
  Max : as much as you have skirmish maps in your whitelist

• Number of recently played maps excluded

  That number adds up to the current map, which is always excluded
  Min : 0
  Max : as much as the number of maps in your whitelist minus two
  Recommended : 1
