NextMap Popup ?

(AgentHani) #1

H There guys, ive played on one of the other servers for some time and i noticed they had Jaymod running and i saw that hey had this Nextmap: (mapname) popping up in their banners every 40 seconds,

But however i actually wanted to know how to try adding that “Nextmap: (mapname)” pop up whenever the map ends or in banners? i thought it would only work in other mods other than jaymod tho but i was wrong

Can u guys tell me how… if possible if u guys have any idea about it, also if u can give me the codes for it ? :slight_smile:

I’m not 100% sure but I think it is enhanced mod for jaymod.

There are two options: use a lua script (most of today’s mods feature this) and use something like WolfAdmin or create your own announcer. My WolfAdmin lua add on parses some cvars that are used for the map cycle and displays these announcements accordingly. This option has benefit over the second option in the sense that it does not require edits once your rotation changes.

The second option is actually a vanilla feature, provided your server uses an objective (or stopwatch/lms) cycle. The downside is that you have to edit the announcements as well.

// Simple next map viewer (delete the comments if you use this file)
// g_msg0 of the banner vars is used to show the maps regularly in game 
// so keep in mind if you write your banner texts

vstr d1

This is one of my versions of the default (I believe) NoQuarter objectivecycle.cfg. The objective_maps CVAR that is set is entirely optional, but is used by WolfAdmin to display the !listmaps information (until I find out a nicer way :p).

So it typically shows out for objective maps, what about frag maps/ctf maps? will it work on it too :stuck_out_tongue: ?

and basically it would work on banners like this one? : set g_banners1; g_msg0 Next map: Marrakech Streets by Night"

Yes, this g_msg0 thing should work for all maps, provided you use the above method (for campaign cycle this will not work f.e.).

I do not see how the banners method that you suggested should work?

Have a look at this lua script. Unlike the one posted above, it works fully automatically.

Did I miss Jaymod getting LUA support?
