Phishermans Phriend has released a third instalment of his server script clearance.
His LUA will ease things once again for your server, but this time for the map cycle.
Quoting his words:
Many servers run banners showing the subsequent map. Since these banner cycles are a lot of nasty work to create and need to be changed upon any slightest change of the map rotation cycle, I decided to create a LUA script that does not require to be configured. The script will find out the name of the next map itself and will display it under these three circumstances:
In intermission, a line will be printed to chat showing the name of the next map
A server banner cycle can be set up: Design, interval and location are fully configurable
If somebody calls a nextmap-vote, the same line as in intermission will be printed to chat so players can see at a glance whether or not they want to go to this map
Since campaign mode seems to use some kind of weird syntax, this script does only work with objective mode!
The script was developed for NQ 1.2.9, I do not know about compatibility to other mods/older versions.
Download the LUA script from our TrackBase Filebase (http://filebase.trackbase.net/et/scripts/nextmap.zip)
