Package: pioneers-server-console Version: 0.10.2-2 Severity: wishlist
I have previously played multiplayer online games that had support for map voting, and had thoughts about what would be minimally required to implement this in the pioneers-server-console. Here's my thinking of what would be required:
* Server broadcast messages -- to allow a supporting script to notify game players of map voting actions. * Server-side logging -- logging of chat events and player join/exit events, allowing a supporting script to be aware that a player has voted for a map (and recording of how many human players there are)
This would have benefit to players, particularly for those people who do not have the ability to create their own server. In particular, it would make the the 'Lobby' level more meaningful, allowing people to vote for maps, rather than having to arrange with another user to set up their own server.
The following is a sample of what might be expected for chat within a game:
Notice: This server supports voting ('map <name>')
player0: map smalleurope
Notice: 1 vote(s) for map 'smalleurope'
player1: map conquest
Notice: 1 vote(s) for map 'conquest'
player2: map small europe
Notice: 2 vote(s) for map 'smalleurope'
player3: map small europe
Notice: 3 vote(s) for map 'smalleurope'
Notice: 3 (of 4) votes for map 'smalleurope'
Notice: map 'SmallEurope' will be the next map to be played
I have attached a diff file for the server source files from the Debian
source version 0.10.2-2, as well as an example script file that is able
to support this modified server (assuming a looping server loading
script that understands the idea of a next map).
