Vote filtering

If you wish to limit voting on your server to only certain modes or mutators you will need to

• Take all the the bit shifted values for the modes/mutators you want to allow
• Add them up
• Use this sum value for the sv_modelockfilter/sv_mutslockfilter variable

For example, to lock voting to only deathmatch and bomber-ball you need 4 + 32 = 36

sv_modelockfilter 36

This will also lock the voting to only the allowed maps for those modes.

As of Red Eclipse 1.3 (Galactic Edition), there are now idx vars that represent each bit-shifted value for each mode and mutator. These vars can be easily added when changing settings that involve these filters. For example:

sv_modelockfilter (+ $modebitdeathmatch $modebitcapture)

Would limit the server to deathmatch and capture the flag

To allow the admin to override the filter, set

sv_modelock 3

It is not possible to disable voting for mutators completely, but you can get close by using

sv_mutslockfilter 65536

which will only keep the third mode variation mutator (ctf-protect) enabled.

Server Rotation Filtering

If you wish to filter the server rotation (without blocking rotation completely) use the sv_rotatemodefilter/sv_rotatemutsfilter variables

For example

sv_rotatemodefilter 36

How the Filter Values Work

Filters are simply created using bitwise OR (numbers are bit shifted first):

Example: 2 (Deathmatch) + 5 (Bomber Ball) = (1«2) + (1«5) = 4 + 32 = 36

00000100 +
00100000 =
00100100 (binary) = 36 (decimal)
