Voting and Vote Percent

gjrc · Post by **gjrc** » Wed Aug 24, 2005 5:19 am

hi,

i have voting set to:

set vote_percent "60"

however often votes which achieve over this still fail on the server. is this becuase a lot of people are not voting at all?

if this is the case is there a way around it? so that if a vote does get over 60% it discounts all non voters and therefor does not fail.

thanks

if your server has 20 people on it, you'd need 12 to beable to pass... not voting is a vote no... no way arround it unless bani mods it so

The funny thing about the voting system is, that you can make votes pass by disconnecting. E.g. 2 players: one player starts a vote (i.e. votes yes) and disconnects. Result: the will votes pass.

abstentions are counted as a no vote.

it could be made an option to not count abstentions.

Abstentions should be counted as "Yes".

this would benefit comp mods too... for times when someone (for some reason doesn't vote), but a kick vote where only 3 people vote, and everyone abstains... the person would be kicked

I guess a simple cvar with 3 options would be enough. Abstentions count as:

no (default),
yes or
not at all.

imho it should either count as a no or abstention... imho it shouldn't be variably controlled, you should know something of what to expect when you join a server

You will know it after the first vote ....
