Call of Dutuy: Black ops II mapvote

Special thanks to @ZECxR3ap3r & @JezuzLizard for their contributions to the development. Additional thanks to @John Kramer for image editing and birchy for the LUI starting point.

This project, initiated in March 2020, enables players to vote for the next map and/or game mode in upcoming matches. The project does not provide compiled files; if needed, compile the file using the gsc-tool.

Support

• Multiplayer (Call of Duty: Black Ops II Multiplayer): PC, XBOX, PS3
• Zombies (Call of Duty: Black Ops II Zombies): PC

Installation

Zombies (ZM)

1. Compile the Script: Compile the mapvote.gsc file using a GSC Compiler. This step is not required if you are working with the plutonium client.

2. Place the Compiled File: Copy the file into your directory %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t6\scripts\zm\.

3. Configure Server File: Copy the content of mapvote.cfg into your server configuration file (e.g., server.cfg, dedicated_zm.cfg, dedicated.cfg, etc.) that manages the Zombies server.

4. Edit Dvars on your configuration file:

   • Set the Dvar mv_maps to specify the maps shown in the mapvote. For example:

     set mv_maps "zm_tomb zm_buried zm_town zm_busdepot zm_farm zm_transit zm_prison zm_highrise zm_nuked"
     

   • Set the Dvar mv_enable to 1 to activate the mapvote on your Zombies server.

5. Run the Server: Start the server and enjoy the map voting experience. You're done!
