    You know how there's a plugin on the viper main server that lets people vote on the next map, how about doing the same for the cvar 'emp_script_path' (for 2.25) on the next map, that way you can have multiple scripts on one server.

    "nextscript vote"
    1: Default
    2: Diversification-Based Tech Tree
    3: Snipers
    4: ...
    5: ...

    But isn't is possible? I know that G4TC has a 'tank wars' script that gives extra res and all research.

    That's just editing cvars not scripts

    And I don't know if this would be a good idea. People probably will then always vote for theinternetisforporn with sniper script. And after they notice that this is bullshit we will have empty servers.

    This is easily done. In fact we could do it right now, not difficult.

    I was under the impression Kylegar had already done it all, and the cvar was in for which line in the script manifest is used. We'd just have a plugin that chose that cvar.

    I'm not totally sure if i read the code right, but i dont think that the scripts are synced to the client yet, well it might work.

    It's a really bad idea, which is why I'm not coding it.

    I don't like the idea but, once the feature of script reloading is working, it won't need any code.

    Isn't Vipers tankwars just another server config?
