Issue 93: Suggestion: Map Listing Tab

Reported by DEMONI...@gmail.com, Jun 8, 2010
I LOVE Evolve! :D I installed it once I started a co-op HL2 game with a friend of mine (so we could both easily use the admin-only things), which especially came in handy once we realized my server WAS publicly accessible :P

However, the thing about playing HL2 in Gmod is... well, when you hit a load trigger, it crashes the server. No biggie, we'll just remember/figure out where the load triggers are and jump to the next map ourselves.

But... I have to be a good admin and actually use the console! :( WTF IS THIS?

Please add a map listing tab so I can be lazy again! :D
(Mainly because then you can also set it up to alert the server the map will change to <mapname> in, say, 10 seconds! And it makes it easier to find the map instead of fishing through map names and figuring out which one is next! :D)


I would highly recommend using a sortable list format such as the list Gmod uses when starting a single or multiplayer game. Having an option for icon display would be cool too, but I think it'd be more useful to admins if you at least had the (sortable) list mode. :)

This would also be a swell way to allow admins to change the gamemode as well, if necessary! :D

Oh. I feel like a retard now.

So, yes, you CAN use the !menu command to change map and gamemode... but my original suggestion still stands :P Could you please add a map-listing tab at some point? :D


Also, what'd be cool is if you could add another parameter to the !map command to initiate a delay and countdown, so for example...

!map <map> [time delay] [gamemode]
!map gm_flatgrass 60
DEMONIIIK is changing the map to gm_flatgrass in 60 seconds!
30 seconds until the server changes maps!
15 seconds until the server changes maps!
10 seconds until the server changes maps!
5...
4...
3...
2...
1...
Server is changing maps to gm_flatgrass.

(What you could do for the countdown is simply have it notify at each minute, as well as at 30, 15, 10, and 5-1 seconds.)

Thanks a bunch!
