Brad:

<div class="townBox" style="background-color:pink">It is <span style="color:red">'''strongly'''</span> recommended that you disable both '''nextmap.amxx''' and '''mapchooser.amxx''' from within your '''plugins.ini''' file when using this plugin.</div>
Provides a variety of next map choosing features. Intended to be used in place of all other map choosing plugins such as Deagles' Map Manager and <span title="AMX Mod X" style="border-bottom:1px dotted">AMXX</span>'s own mapchooser. It contains more customizable features than either of those.

All the features of <span title="Map Chooser Plus" style="border-bottom:1px dotted">MCP</span> are described below. The biggest three are [[#Map Nominations|nominations]], [[#Rock the Vote|rock the vote]], and [[#Runoff Voting|runoff voting]].
<br>
<br>
==General Voting==

These CVARs and commands may be used with or without enabling any of the other features. When specific features utilize any of these CVARs and commands, they'll be listed again in that feature's section.

===CVARs===
====mcp_vote_mapfile ''<cFile>''====
:{|
|-
|
|-
|Specifies the file to use which either holds the names of the maps that players can nominate or is used in the map group feature to indicate how many maps to use from each group as determined by the ''mcp_vote_mapfiletype'' CVAR.

There is no default value.

If left blank, which it is by default, addons/amxmodx/configs/mcp/votefill.ini will be used. Otherwise, you must specify a fully qualified filename starting from your game mod folder (i.e. "cstrike", "dod", "czero", etc).

Example Values:

:* mapcycle.txt
:* ../../common_configs/mcp/votefill.ini
:* addons/amxmodx/configs/mcp/nominatable.ini
|}

====mcp_vote_mapfiletype ''<1|2>''====
Specifies the type of file ''mcp_vote_mapfile'' is being used as.

{|
|- class="t2th"
| Setting
| Description
|- class="t2td"
| 1
| map listing
|- class="t2td"
| 2
| map group listing
|}

The default is '''1'''.

When the value is '''1''', the file specified by ''mcp_vote_mapfile'' is a listing of maps. Each map should be listed, one per line. Just like is done in '''mapcycle.txt'''.

Here is a short example:

as_oilrig
cs_747
cs_assault
cs_backalley
cs_estate
cs_havana

When the value is '''2''', the file specified by ''mcp_vote_mapfile'' is formatted differently. Instead of listing maps, you would list the count of maps to pick from each map group, one count per line. You can have a maximum of 8 counts listed. This allows you to prioritize different groups of maps to use in filling a vote. It allows you to say, "pick up to X maps from this group first, then pick up to Y maps from this other group". You can have a maximum of 8 groups.

Here is an example of 3 counts listed:

3
3
2

The counts should not total more than the number of maps you allow in the vote. In the case of this example, the counts add up to 8, which happens to be the maximum number of maps that can be allowed in a vote.

Since I've listed three different counts, I'll need 3 different files to keep my map listings in.

The files must be named and located as such:

:./amxmodx/configs/mcp/votefill/1.ini
:./amxmodx/configs/mcp/votefill/2.ini
:./amxmodx/configs/mcp/votefill/3.ini

Each of those files, '''1.ini''', '''2.ini''', and '''3.ini''', should contain a listing of maps.

MCP will first load any nominated maps into the vote. It will then grab up to 3 maps from '''1.ini''', up to 3 from '''2.ini''', and up to 2 from '''3.ini'''.

====mcp_vote_duration ''<iSeconds>''====
Specifies how long a map vote should last.

The default is '''15''' seconds.

====mcp_vote_expirationcountdown ''<0|1>''====
Specifies whether the vote expiration countdown should be displayed when there are 10 or fewer seconds left in a vote. It will count down from 10 to 0, at which point the vote will be over. It will only show to players that have not yet voted.

:{|
|- class="t2th"
| Setting
| Description
|- class="t2td"
| 0
| do not show the countdown
|- class="t2td"
| 1
| show the countdown
|}

The default is '''1'''.

====mcp_vote_announcechoice ''<0|1>''====
Specifies whether to announce each player's choice.

:{|
|- class="t2th"
| Setting
| Description
|- class="t2td"
| 0
| do not announce player's choice
|- class="t2td"
| 1
| announce player's choice
|}

The default is '''1'''.

====mcp_vote_showstatus ''<0|1|2>''====
Specifies when the vote progress should be shown to a player. A value of 0 disables this feature.

:{|
|- class="t2th"
| Setting
| Description
|- class="t2td"
| 0
| never
|- class="t2td"
| 1
| after player has voted
|- class="t2td"
| 2
| after vote ends
|}

The default is '''0'''.

====mcp_vote_showstatustype ''<1|2>''====
Specifies how to show the progress of a vote.

:{|
|- class="t2th"
| Setting
| Description
|- class="t2td"
| 1
| as vote count
|- class="t2td"
| 2
| as percentage of all votes cast
|}

The default is '''2'''.

====amx_extendmap_max ''<fMinutes>''====
Specifies the maximum number of minutes a map can be played.

A value less than ''mp_timelimit'' will not let the map be extended. This is the same CVAR that AMXX provides.

The default is '''90''' minutes.

====amx_extendmap_step ''<fMinutes>''====
Specifies the number of minutes a map will be extended each time the "Extend Map" option wins the map vote.

This is the same CVAR that AMXX provides.

The default is '''15''' minutes.

===Console Commands===

====mcp_startvote====
Immediately starts a map vote.

====mcp_createmapfile ''[cFlags|cFilename]''====
Creates a map file listing all the maps located in the '''maps''' folder of the server.

There are various parameters that can be used with this command.

*If the command is used without any additional parameters, it will create a file named "allmaps.ini" in your game mod folder (i.e. "cstrike", "dod", "czero", etc).
*If a filename is specified, it will attempt to create that file. It must be a full qualified filename starting from your game mod folder. See the '''mcp_nom_mapfile''' CVAR for examples of what you can enter as a filename.
*If "n", "v", or "nv" is specified, the files created will be based on the CVARs for nominatable maps and/or votefill maps, as applicable. See the '''mcp_nom_mapfile''' CVAR to determine the name of the file that will be created when using the "n" flag. See the '''mcp_votefill_mapfile''' CVAR to determine the name of the file that will be created when using the "v" flag.

==Server Features==

A variety of features related to the server.

===CVARs===

====mcp_srv_onrestart ''<iAction>''====
Specifies which action to take when it is detected that the server has been restarted.

|}

The default is '''0'''.

==Map Nominations==

Allows players to nominate maps for inclusion in the next map vote.

Not all nominations are guaranteed to be used. If there are more nominations than are allowed in the vote, a random selection of the nominations will be used. See the mcp_nom_qtyused CVAR description for more detail.

If a player disconnects, any nominations they had made will be cancelled.

===CVARs===

====mcp_nom_playerallowance ''<iNominationCnt>''====

If a partial map name is given, only maps that contain the partial map name will be listed.

====mcp_createmapfile ''[cFlags|cFilename]''====
Creates a map file listing all the maps located in the '''maps''' folder of the server.

There are various parameters that can be used with this command.

*If the command is used without any additional parameters, it will create a file named "allmaps.ini" in your game mod folder (i.e. "cstrike", "dod", "czero", etc).
*If a filename is specified, it will attempt to create that file. It must be a full qualified filename starting from your game mod folder. See the '''mcp_nom_mapfile''' CVAR for examples of what you can enter as a filename.

== Map Chooser Plus (MCP) ==

Provides a variety of next map choosing features. Intended to be used in place of all other map choosing plugins such as Deagles' Map Manager and AMXX's own mapchooser.

None of the features are enabled by default. As such, it acts much like AMXX's mapchooser. The power comes when you enable some of the features of MCP.
