Description
KMapvote is the solution for every server that needs a high quality, stable and featured mapvote system. It is designed to look nice, is fully animated and handles everything related to map voting. Sounds and animated avatars make the script intuitive and responsive. Extensive configuration allows you to set up stages for map and gamemode voting. With almost a year of continuous development and improvement with feedback from large gmod communities it has grown to be the most sophisticated and powerful mapvoting system you can get.

Thanks to many of the script's users there is now a collection of over 600 mapicons available for 392 maps, mostly TTT, CS:S, Prophunt, Zombie Survival and Deathrun.

You can customize the colours where an advanced gradient system allows you to create a very nice looking UI that fits your server's design.

Detailed Configuration allows you to customize everything, from the amount of maps shown, their icons and valid gamemodes to minimum and maximum players that are required for a map to show up in a vote. This way the script dynamically adjusts to the number of players and show only relevant maps that are randomly choosen out of a configurable list. Extensive documentation of each option enables even scripting inexperienced users to fully customize the plugin.

A builtin RTV plugin, compatible with ULX, Exsto and Evolve makes sure that if users are unhappy with a map, it can be switched. Through your prefered admin plugin you can also give rtv rights as a VIP or respected feature.

A comprehensive system allows you to set usergroups that can override the vote(for example admins) or have a higher vote power (i.e. the vote counts twice, for VIPs).

Being made with TTT in mind, a config option allows you to trigger the vote whenever the TTT round/timelimit is reached. The extend map feature will reset the round counter and timer.

Map ratings allow users to quickly see how other players think about maps and help server owners clean out maps that are not liked by the community.

The script has integration for many popular gamemodes such as deathrun, murder or prophunt and is designed to work with all gamemodes. If a gamemode you are using is not supported by the addon, support will be added free of charge with the next update.
