This post may be interesting to the general public, not just clanmembers.
I've come to realize that even some experienced players know litte about voting in Nexuiz, so I thought I'd clarify things a little.
Voting basics
Each player on the server can call a vote using the vcall console command, which can be accepted by pressing F1 (or vyes), and rejected with F2 (or vno). vstop can be used to withdraw one's own vcall. The person issuing the vcall is implicitly assumed to be in favor. Use vhelp in the console to see what commands can be voted on the server.
Oh and btw, the console is brought up with SHIFT+ESC.
VCall's available on the ToT server
Now for the interesting part.
Since many servers only offer endmatch and gotomap, these are the only commands many people know. But there are others.
- vcall endmatch
Obviously, this ends the current match. An alias for this is timelimit -1 - vcall gotomap mapname
Ends the current match and starts a new one on the map called "mapname", skipping the "map election". An alias for this is chmap
To see which maps are available, type lsmaps in the console. - vcall restart
Restarts the current map immediately, won't even show the scoreboard. - vcall nextmap mapname
Causes the next map to be mapname, but unlike gotomap, it doesn't end the current match. To introduce your favorite map even more gracefully, use suggestmap mapname (without vcall). This will only ensure that mapname is listed at the next "map election" screen.
To see which maps are available, type lsmaps in the console. - vcall fraglimit N
Sets the fraglimit for the current match to N, for sane values of N. - vcall timelimit T
Sets the time limit for the current match to T, in minutes. - vcall extendmatchtime
vcall reducematchtime
Extends and reduces time limit, respectively, by a specific amount, which is currently 10 minutes on our server. - vcall removepowerups
Removes all powerup items, effective for the remainder of the current match. Only affects the invisibility, speed and extralife powerup items that are present on the map by the time the command gets executed. - vcall kick # N
Kicks an annoying player, where "annoying" is for the voters to define. N is the player's number, which can be determined with the status command (without vcall). The space between # and the number is mandatory. - vcall trainingmode
Switches the game into "training mode" for the remainder of the current match. In training mode, all players take on a health crash test dummy yellow and are invulnerable, while hits are still counted as frags. Also, powerups are removed and players can't mutate. (Some may find this is actually more of an "arcade" or "fun" mode than anything suitable for "training")
