A CobaltEssentials extension to provide vote-based tools on BeamMP Servers

Installation:

1. Place voteTools.lua in

.../Resources/Server/CobaltEssentials/extensions/

2. Add an entry to turn it on in:

.../Resources/Server/CobaltEssentials/LoadExtensions.cfg

# Add your new extensions here as a key/value pair
# The first one is the name in the lua enviroment
# The second value is the file path to the main lua from CobaltEssentials/extensions

exampleExtension = "exampleExtension"
voteTools = "voteTools"

---

Configuration:

At the top of voteTools.lua you will see some configurables:

--config these to your preference
local voteKickTimeout = 60 --how long in seconds a voteKick is open
local immuneLevel = 2 --this CE player permission level and above cannot be voted for
local voteKickRatio = 0.3 --what percent of connected players must vote for a candidate for them to be kicked

local voteMapTimeout = 60 --how long in seconds a voteMap is open
local voteMapRatio = 0.5 --what percent of connected players must vote for a map for the map to change

---

Usage:

By default, Everyone can initiate voteKick and voteMap. I made this decision because the point of voting is that players on a server should be able to use these without the need for mods or admins to be present.

• voteKick uses IDs instead of names, because some names can be difficult to type.

• voteMap uses shortNames for ease of use.

This extension's commands and aliases are:

/votekick or /vk

/vote or /v

/votecancel or /vc

/votemap or /vm

/changemap or /cm

/maps or /map or /maplist or /ml

• To start a voteKick, any player may use /votekick or /vk. This will print the list of players currently on the server, and give usage instructions for /vote.

• When a voteKick is active, players may use /vote <playerID> to vote for a player.

• To start a voteMap, any player may use /voteMap or /vm. This will print the list of maps, and give usage instructions for /vote.

• When a voteMap is active, players may use /vote <shortName> to vote for a map.

• After a configurable length of time (60 seconds by default), the vote will reset, or server mod/admin/owner can use /votecancel at any time.

• Admins can directly change a map with /changemap <shortName> or /cm <shortName>

• Anyone can check the shortName/fullName pairs with /maps or /map or /maplist or /ml
