plugin_map_random by yensid

   This plugin will bring up a vote for 5 random maps at the end of the round 
   This is a direct replacement for plugin_hldsld_mapvote.sma.  It will use all
   of the cvar settings for that plugin.  It is *highly* recommended you remove
   that plugin if you are running this one.

   Idea for this plugin, all features, and testing done by Platinum of gamesniffer.com:27015 
   Go there to see it in action! 

For instructions on how to compile and install plugins, please refer to the Admin Mod manual, located online at http://www.adminmod.org - at the time this readme was written, the URL for the manual was located at http://www.adminmod.org/help/online/
The specifics for downloading and installing plugins is in the section titled 'Admin Mod Plugins'

COMMANDS

The commands for this plugin are as follows:
	admin_startvote [<mapnames>]: Starts a random map vote.  Optionally, include mapnames.
	say mapvote [<mapnames>]: Starts a random map vote.  Optionally, include mapnames.
	say rockthevote [<mapnames>]: Starts a random map vote.  Optionally, include mapnames.

<mapnames> The names of up to 5 maps you would like included in the map vote.  If invalid names, or names of maps that were recently voted for, they will be ignored.

HOW IT WORKS

This will grab 5 random maps from your maps.ini (or mapcycle.txt, if your maps_file is not defined) and present them in a voting format for people to choose.
You can also specify maps to include in the vote, though maps you choose are also restricted as mentioned below.
Like plugin_hldsld_mapvote, you can also have the option to extend the map.
The last 5 maps to successfully be voted for cannot be voted for again.  This can be changed with the MAX_DENY_MAP setting at the top of the .sma file.  Note that this number must be half or less than the maximum number of maps you have in your maps.ini (work it out logically why ;-) ).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Note that the maps that were previously voted for are stored in the server's memory and will be lost when the server is restarted.

As stated before, this plugin is a direct replacement for plugin_hldsld_mapvote.  plugin_map_random will use all of the server configuration cvars that plugin_hldsld_mapvote uses (such as how many times you can extend, whether the vote autostarts, etc)  For information about those settings, please refer to the Admin Mod documentation.

Version 1.3:
Updated for 2.50.26 (new map changing method)
Fixed bug which would allow admins to call a vote while a previous vote was still in progress.  This was OK in the plugin_hldsld_mapvote plugin, because it didn't use the normal vote system.  However, Admin Mod pukes on it in the voting system.  I could work around that, but I decided I'd rather leave it restricted :)

Hopefully this all makes sense to you!  If you have any further questions, please check on the forums at http://www.adminmod.org - we'll be happy to help you!
