v1.0.44

Game Mode Manager v1.0.44

Important

• Back up your GameModeManager.json configuration file and let the plugin generate the new version. This version has minor changes to the configuration file.

• This update requires you to add css_gamemode to all game mode configuration files. You can use the mode name or the configuration file name. This is the new replacement for css_mapgroup. You can keep css_mapgroup if you would like, but you do not need it any longer.

New Features

• Multiple Map Groups: A single game mode can now support multiple map groups. This is configurable within the JSON.
• All Maps: Admins and players can now use !allmaps or !showallmaps to search for maps within each game mode. This can cause issues if MapConfigurator is not used to properly load the correct game mode per map. Consider keeping disabled unless using MapConfigurator.

UI/Configuration Changes

• Map lists are now updated based on the game mode rather than map group.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug where the change game message was occurring when RTV was enabled.

Installation

1. Install Metamod:Source and Counter Strike Sharp.
2. Copy addons and cfg folders to /csgo/.
3. Make sure your gamemodes_server.txt or custom map group file is in VDF Format and contains a list of map groups.
4. Update each game mode configuration file (i.e. comp.cfg) to include css_gamemode <mode>.
5. After the first run, update the configuration file GameModeManager.json as detailed below.

For more information on the configuration of these features, please see the updated README.md.

Upcoming changes

• css_mapgroups will be retired completely unless otherwise necessary.
• Map and game mode rotations will be improved to adjust for max round wins and max time limits.

Refactoring

There has been a lot of code refactoring to adjust for the addition of these features as well as for readability.

Full Changelog: v1.0.43...v1.0.44

v1.0.43

Game Mode Manager v1.0.43

Important

• Back up your GameModeManager.json configuration file and let the plugin generate the new version. This version has minor changes to the configuration file.

• This update will also install CS2-CustomVotes and overwrite any custom JSON configuration you may have for this plugin. Please make a backup before installing this plugin.

• If switching from v1.0.41, make sure to remove the old enable_course.cfg and disable_course.cfg files from the settings folder.

New Features

• RTV Enabled Command: A new server command for enabling or disabling RTV.
• Game Menu: A new game menu for displaying game mode manager player commands.
• Map Menu Style: Map menus are now based on the new MapGroup.Style configuration option.
• Current Map Player Command: Players can now use !currentmap to display the current map.
• Current Mode Player Command: Players can now use !currentmode to display the current game mode. This is based on the mapgroup rather than the game mode list and required map group friendly names to be configured for consistency.

UI/Configuration Changes

• Reduced default map and mode change delays to 2 sec.
• More language translations for new commands and menus.
• Maps can now use friendly names by modifying the key value in the map group file.
• Auto bhop setting no longer includes unlock_movement.cfg for mode gravity consistency.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug where the show maps menu was not updating properly.
• Fixed a bug where map and mode delays were not referencing the configuration values.

Installation

1. Install Metamod:Source and Counter Strike Sharp.

2. Copy addons and cfg folders to /csgo/.

3. Make sure your gamemodes_server.txt or custom map group file is in VDF Format and contains a list of map groups.

   If you want to use friendly names, include the "displayname" property within your gamemodes_server.txt or custom map group file for each map group. You also need to add a friendly name for maps.

   Example

   "mg_dm"
   {
     "imagename"				    "mapgroup-bomb"
     "displayname"				  "Deathmatch"
     "nameID"				      "#SFUI_Mapgroup_allclassic"
     "tooltipID"				    "#SFUI_MapGroup_Tooltip_Desc_DeathMatch"
     "name"					      "mg_dm"
     "icon_image_path"			"map_icons/mapgroup_icon_deathmatch"
     "maps"
     {
       "ar_shoots"						                  "Shoots"
       "ar_baggage"						                "Baggage"
       "workshop/3070550406/de_safehouse"			"Safehouse"
       "workshop/3070563536/de_lake"				    "Lake"
       "workshop/3070581293/de_bank"				    "Bank"

       "workshop/3070238628/fy_iceworld"			  "Iceworld"
     }
   }
   

4. If needed, update each game mode configuration file (i.e. comp.cfg) to include css_mapgroup <map group>.

5. After the first run, update the configuration file GameModeManager.json as detailed below.

For more information on the configuration of these features, please see the updated README.md.
