    Like in almost every multiplayer game there is Vote Option to:
    - Change map
    - Kick someone (ex. cheating)
    - Disable/enable custom classes
    - Poll option
    - Etc.

    So why not add here?

    As far as I know, there already is an votekick implemented into the game. As for class limits, those can already be determined by the server settings.

    Map change voting would be nice, but there's only 5 maps in the game right now, so it's not exactly heartbreaking if it's not implemented soon. :lol:

    It is. I have no idea how it works though.

    If we can veto maps I'll probably never play on Steel Peel again... :D

    That's the point :p

    Voting is done through the console, you have to enter a command to initiate the vote, then everybody else needs to go into the console to vote yay or nay. I forget the command.

    Voting should be toggled serverside. I hate votekick, even though it's almost useless now. I'd like to turn it off. If people want it they should still be able to have it though.

    1. Press Tilde(~) to open the console(may be different depending on country)
    1a. If name is screwy, type in PlayerList. It will list every player and a 3-digit number in front of their name, you can use the number instead of name
    2. Type in votekick (or kickvote, can't remember which, console will show autofill list when you get the right startoff) followed by playername or playerID. Press Enter Ex: votekick George or votekick 439

    To vote Yes/No, open the console again and type in vote yes/no, press Enter

    It's one of the screwier methods I've seen and like you guys pointed out, a bulk of people won't know how to start a votekick or even how to vote. I've seen people just hit the chat key and end up saying "yes/no" without it registering as a vote


    Unfortunately from what I can tell, it requires a unamimous* vote to remove someone from the server. This makes the votekick a near-pointless endeavour
    *Seems like it. Had a smallish game where a guy was idling making the teams uneven; 3 vs 1+idler. 4 people voted Yes to remove the idler but of course the idler didn't vote so the vote failed
