Players on your Quake Live server can call votes to change the map, game mode, time limit and more. This guide shows you how to turn voting off, block the votes you don't want, and keep map votes inside your map pool.
Changing Voting Settings
- 1Log in to Bropanel and
Stopyour server. - 2In the sidebar, go to
Files. - 3Open the
baseq3folder, then openserver.cfg. - 4Find the setting you want to change from the table below and edit its value. If the line isn't in the file, add it at the end.
- 5Save the file and
Startyour server.
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
g_allowVote | 1 | 1 lets players call votes, 0 turns voting off. |
g_voteFlags | 0 | Blocks specific votes. See the table below. |
g_voteDelay | 0 | Milliseconds after a map loads before votes are allowed. |
g_voteLimit | 0 | How many votes each player can call per map. 0 is no limit. |
g_allowVoteMidGame | 0 | 1 allows votes while a match is being played. |
g_allowSpecVote | 0 | 1 lets spectators call votes. |
Blocking Specific Votes
g_voteFlags is the total of every vote you want to block. Add up the numbers of the votes you want to turn off and use the total.
| Vote | Number |
|---|---|
| Map | 1 |
| Map restart | 2 |
| Next map | 4 |
Game type (/callvote map campgrounds ca) | 8 |
| Kick | 16 |
| Time limit | 32 |
| Frag limit | 64 |
| Shuffle | 128 |
| Team size | 256 |
| Coin toss and random | 512 |
| Loadouts | 1024 |
| End of match map voting | 2048 |
| Ammo | 4096 |
| Item timers | 8192 |
| Weapon respawn time | 16384 |
For example, to block kick votes (16) and game type changes (8), use set g_voteFlags "24". To keep a server on a single game mode, block game type votes and also keep only that factory in your map pool, since the end-of-match vote picks from the map pool.
Note
Factories can override these settings, and a few built-in factories set their own voting rules. See our custom game factories guide.
Only Allowing Maps From Your Map Pool
Quake Live only uses your map pool for the voting screen at the end of a match. Players can still call a vote for any map on the server. MinQLX can stop that, so map votes only work for maps in your pool.
- 1Make sure MinQLX is enabled and
essentialsis in yourMinQLX Pluginslist, following our install plugins guide. - 2Log in to Bropanel and
Stopyour server. - 3In the sidebar, go to
Files. - 4Open the
baseq3folder, then openserver.cfg. - 5Add
set qlx_enforceMappool "1"to the end of the file. - 6Save the file and
Startyour server.
Players can type !mappool in chat to see the maps and factories they can vote for.
These MinQLX voting settings also go in server.cfg:
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
qlx_enforceMappool | 0 | 1 only allows map votes for maps and factories in your map pool. |
qlx_votepass | 1 | Passes a vote that is about to fail when most of the players who voted said yes. |
qlx_teamsizeMinimum | 1 | The smallest team size players can vote for. |
qlx_teamsizeMaximum | 8 | The largest team size players can vote for. |
