GG1MapChooser

The GG1MapChooser plugin enhances map selection and management for CS2 game servers. It introduces robust controls over map voting, nominations, and automatic map rotation based on player counts and preferences.

Features

Random Map Selection - Automatically selects the next map with configurable weights.
Map Voting System - Players can vote on which maps to play next. If no one votes, the plugin chooses a random map from the list to vote.
Map Nominations - Players can nominate maps for voting.
Player Count Thresholds - Specify minimum and maximum player counts for maps to be included in the vote.
Command Controls - Includes commands like rtv (rock the vote) and nominate for direct player interaction.
Admin commands - Include commands for admins to start voting or change the map.

Configuration Files

Map Configuration

Define map settings in csgo/cfg/GGMCmaps.json:

Minimum and maximum player counts for map eligibility.

Plugin Settings

Customize plugin behaviour in csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/configs/plugins/GG1MapChooser/GG1MapChooser.json:

RTVDelay - Time delay at the start of the map during which rtv is disabled.
RTVInterval - Cooldown period after a failed vote.

Usage

Voting: Players can initiate a map vote using !rtv or rtv in chat. The required percentage of votes to start a vote is controlled by the VotesToWin setting.
Nominating: Players can nominate a map by typing !nominate <mapname> or simply nominate to bring up a list of eligible maps based on current server conditions.

Admin Commands

Map Change - Use css_maps or !maps to change the map manually or start a vote with standard or custom selections.
Quick Map Selection - Use ggmap <partofmapname> helps find and switch to a map quickly by using a partial name match.

External Controls:

ggmc_mapvote_start [time] - Trigger a map vote externally with an optional time parameter.
ggmc_auto_mapchange - Automatically change a map to random map.
ggmc_nortv - Disable the rtv command temporarily to maintain game continuity.

Disclaimer

The plugin is provided "as-is" and fulfills the specific requirements it was designed for. While I am not planning further major updates, I welcome suggestions that might benefit a broader user base, which could lead to additional features.
