New voting system for pubs

Ok most servers don't have map voting or ability to kick players without admins. Let build a default feature into the client side like L4D2:

There already exists one via Sourcemod, though it's kind of buggy in that it prevents weapon switching while the vote menu is up. It would be nice to have something natively built into FF that just works out the gate though.

Can you expand on how that's 'buggy,' Kube? How is it possible to get around that when weapon switching and voting use the same key?

Well with the current SDK, it's not possible. However, with newer SDKs I think starting with 2007, it allows for flash-based content and might be able to be used to make a better voting system.

Are the keyboard options currently capable of having key pad numbers separate from the top row numbers? Maybe those can be used to vote rather than the existing method, and those who don't have a key pad would be able to use the normal method?

Flash-based meaning...? Do you use your mouse or the keyboard to select options? I am stuck in 2006, so I ain't know nothing bout games and how they work.

Seems that L4D is using the F Keys, Most of the F keys in FF are unbound. maybe we could switch our voting to that.
