# Map Rotation & Voting
|
|
|
|
__NOTE: This guide uses the terms "level" and "map" interchangeably.__
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
Nazi Zombies: Portable supports Map Rotation as well as in-game Map Voting for server hosters to provide a selection of maps to clients automatically, as opposed to forcing manual map selection and map repetition.
|
|
|
|
## Means of Map Changing
|
|
|
|
### Map Voting
|
|
|
|
`sv_enablechatplugins` is required to allow for map voting on your server.
|
|
|
|
Users can use the `mapvote <mapname>` chat command to vote to issue a `changelevel` after the vote duration and grace period. Issuing this command will alert all clients in the server of a request to change levels, and how they can use `mapvote_y` or `mapvote_n` to vote on the decided level. Votes are public.
|
|
|
|
Votes last 60 seconds, and provided a vote passes, a 15 second wait is in place before the change of level. There is no limit on the amount of votes users can start, but only one can be active at a time.
|
|
|
|
Votes take priority over map rotation settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Map Rotation
|
|
|
|
Nazi Zombies: Portable supports three modes of Map Rotation, controlled via the `sv_maprotationmode` cvar:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
0 : Do Not Rotate
|
|
1 : Fixed Map Rotation
|
|
2 : Random Map Rotation
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Do Not Rotate
|
|
|
|
Rotation mode `0` disables map rotation, the currently loaded level will begin again.
|
|
|
|
#### Fixed Map Rotation
|
|
|
|
Rotation mode `1` picks linearly from a list of rotations from a plain text (`.txt`) file in the `nzp/` directory. The basename is controlled by `sv_maprotationbasename` (by default it is `map_rotation`). The contents should only be the raw (`.bsp`) names for the levels you want to rotate. For example, to switch between *Warehouse (Classic)* and *Warehouse*, your rotation file would look like so:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nzp_warehouse
|
|
nzp_warehouse2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If a rotation file is not found, the *Random Map Rotation* (`2`) setting will be used instead.
|
|
|
|
#### Random Map Rotation
|
|
|
|
Rotation mode `2` chooses a random map from the server's installed maps. |
