    Description:
    Takes control over commander vote time and adds a lot of features around it for server owners to set up.
    See features.
    --

    Features:
    - Extending vote time if no comms.
    - You can set minimum players needed for each feature to work.
    - Regular info message about comms and votes.
    - Customize almost everything.
    - Skipping to another map if CV stays empty after round starts, set your custom time. (CV with no comm will die)
    - Locking spectators and enabling at custom time after round starts.
    - Ability to limit how many times can the vote be extended.
    - Enable alltalk while both teams have no comms.
    - Config file.
    - And much more!


    Commands:
    Code:
    "sm_nce"
    "Enable extending of comm vote. In chat: !nce"
    
    "sm_ncd"
    "Disable extending of comm vote. In chat: !ncd"
    
    "nc_nce"
    "Enable extending of comm vote. Server command"

    "Enable(1)/Disable(0) compatibility with ScardyBobs PUG plugin." 
    --

    More detailed description:
    To enable or disable extending as admin use "sm_nce" to enable and "sm_ncd" to disable.
    In chat "!nce" "!ncd"
    Server commands "nc_nce" or "nc_ncd"
    If the commander vote time is below "nc_marktime" it will add extra time if no team has yet voted for a commander.
    It will keep extending the vote time by adding "nc_addvotetime" to the current detected vote time.
    It will also display info status message about comms and votes at interval you set by "nc_msgtimer"
    You can set at what time should the vote be extended with "nc_marktime"
    You can enable checking if any commanders entered the CV after the round starts "nc_commcheck"
    Or only enable it at certain number of players "nc_commcheckmp"
    The cv will explode if there are no comms after the custom time limit which you can set by "nc_commchecktime"
    You can set this plugin to lock spectators from start of the map "nc_lockspec"
    Or set minimum clients on the server needed for it by "nc_lockspecmp"
    And customize the time after start of the round of when spectators should be enabled "nc_lockspectime"
    Or hide the message about unlocking spectators "nc_lockspechide"
    Or set the limit of how many times can the vote be extended "nc_howmanytimese" to enable, "nc_howmanytimes" to set how many times.
    Or enable alltalk while both teams have no commander candidates with "nc_alltalkm"
    Set at how many clients should the alltalk managing be enabled by "nc_alltalkmmp"
    Or enable plugin compatibility by "nc_vt" or "nc_pugc"
    Plugin disables on infantry maps, except locking spectators.
    Player must join a team for the plugin to activate.
    Player cant vote for themselves in a comm vote.

    --

    Issues:
    Addition of minimum players setting for lockspec and alltalkm introduced an issue
    where if admin changes the setting of alltalk or allowing spectators, it might get overridden in the next few seconds.

    --

    Planned features
    Need to test it now and work on issues.
    Iam open to suggestions and ideas.

    I intend to keep surrender or comm lock as a separate plugins.

    yeah,
    if you enable nc_commcheck "1"
    and set nc_commchecktime "60"

    After the round starts (after end of comm vote) it will be announcing the status of anyone in the cv and at one minute after, if nobody entered the cv at least once, it will explode and the team loses.

    :)

    Update
    v0.5.2
    - Fixed cv exploding at wrong times with some maps, by first detecting the vehicleid of the cvs.

    Hopefully fixed for good :D

    IF you are updating: It might be the best to replace the config file as well and set your settings again. (few "def" fixes and typos and such...)
    It doesnt seem to replace the cfg on plugin update if one cfg already exists.
    So just use the one you download in the above link.
    Or just delete the cfg from server and the plugin will autocreate updated one at start.
    And then set your own settings.

    Perhaps some ideas for this plugin, make it the "Definitive Commander Plugin", make the circle so you can't steal the CV, incorporate what MrX said where you can !kick NFcommander (message to team) etc to allow better management of commanders.

    I was thinking to keep that for a separate plugin. As this one is already messy enough as it is ( my first plugin xD )

    But considering that my initial (easier to do) idea of detecting when certain player gets out of cv, kinda wont work because one of the cvs seems to miss the vehicle_exit event for some reason.
    (at least when I tested with net_showevents 2)
    So I will need to figure out all the stuff about how to get entity properties, and which property actually means that somebody is in and who is in...and similar stuff...
    Its all a bit deeper than just detecting stuff from game events xD
    So I need to figure stuff out. xD

    CV locking was definitely on my planned to do list.
    Still thanks for the suggestion.

    Not yet sure about the !kick message thing, I would rather want to first figure out the basic plugins like surrender or cv lock.

    I just wanna get to the point where this comm vote extend plugin is more or less issue-less and usable as it is now (event based). And then I look at the other ones like surrender or cv lock. And then maybe later redo this plugin so that it more properly detects stuff (events arent too good way to detect things).

    Link to the latest version v0.6: https://git.empiresmod.com/sourcemo...04388d312da45e52eab/NoCommExtendVote_v0.6.rar

    This version is A LOT cleaner.
    Completely minimized the spam and made a lot of changes and fixes.
    Also new command "nc_commcheckmp" to set minimum players required for commcheck.

    Replace your config if you are updating from older version and set your settings again!
    Or you might be left with confusing descriptions in your config file. Or commands missing.

    Update
    v0.6.1 Clean
    - Added compatibility with Mikleos Votetime Plugin. NCEV will stop extending if !pausevote was used
    - Added admin chat/commands sm_nce and sm_ncd. Or in chat !nce and !ncd. Enables/Disables extending of votes

    Link to the latest version v0.6.1: https://git.empiresmod.com/sourcemo...f7db96fde3b2fa417/NoCommExtendVote_v0.6.1.rar

    Pushed out compatibility patch for Mikleos Votetime Plugin, so that people are not discouraged to use both plugins.
    And added chat commands for admins to disable or enable extending of comm vote: !nce or !ncd

    Only need to replace your config if you are updating from lower than v0.6

    Update
    v0.7
    - Added nc_lockspecmp to set how many minimum clients needed on the server for lockspec to work
    - Added nc_alltalkm If enabled, it will enable alltalk at start of the map and disable when both teams have comms


    Link to the latest version v0.7: https://git.empiresmod.com/sourcemo...b9b2d76461b08d3a9ac/NoCommExtendVote_v0.7.rar

    Added nc_lockspecmp so you are able to set how many clients on the server + clients connecting needed for lockspec to work.
    Added nc_alltalkm Alltalk managing at start of the round. If this is enabled, it will enable alltalk until both teams have comms, or until the round starts.

    Best if you replace your config file and set your settings again.
    Or just add new commands into the config.

    Hi, I'm working on my draftpick plugin and I'm trying to find a way to deactivate your comm vote extension dynamically during the captain vote and pick phases. It seems like you precache all of your cvars so changing them doesn't help. Is there any way I can achieve this?

    Otherwise there's going to be a plugin war.

    I guess you could use commands
    sm_nce - vote extending enabled
    sm_ncd - vote extending disabled

    But I could simply add a cvar or server commands for you, if it detects your plugin.
    Best if you give me a cvar which changes in your plugin when its active.

    This could all be even easier if you participated on the gitlab and hipchat xD
    Iam totally open for compatibilities xD

    I will be adding Server Commands
    nc_nce
    - vote extending enabled
    nc_ncd - vote extending disabled

    https://git.empiresmod.com/sourcemo...mmit/afee36659fef1dab9efaa6a77b302f315715dc27

    Which will do the same thing as the admin commands sm_nce / sm_ncd (!nce / !ncd)
    Which is disabling extending.

    Should be better for this than admin commands.

    It will also print the message about enabling/disabling it only to server console if used over server command.
    Only at marktime it will say that extending was disabled by admin.

    You can freely enable or disable it at any time.

    OK that's good I can use the commands to disable during the draft and enable at the end.
