Title : Voting Server Patch Filename : vote_srv.zip Version : 1.0 Date : 15 Apr 1997 Author : Dr. Banzai Email : phosk@tesla.uah.ualberta.ca IRC : Dr_Banzai Type of Mod ----------- Quake C : yes Sound : no MDL : no BSP : no Category : Server Patch Source Included : yes Introduction ------------ This patch works with the Random Map Chooser. Players can input an impulse to vote for a new level. When over 50% of players have voted, a new level is randomly selected and the server changes to it immediately. This patch is especially useful when the server changes to a large level when there are only 3-4 people on. Note that this patch is only a small part of my mega-patch designed especially for Quake deathmatch server carnage. Mail me for more information on my mega-patch.
