Map voted -> wrong map was loaded

Postby mczero » Sun May 20, 2007 7:54 pm

I was alone with some bot buddies on the wasteland testing server, playing some duel. Then I voted for wq_canyon_r, but the server loaded br_backwater! This happened two times... I think this shouldn't be, so I post it here... The third time I tried it in a row, it was loaded correctly.

Hmm ... that's really curious ...
If you manage to reproduce it, tell me more about it. I would be glad to fix it ;)
I analyzed the server's log file and I saw you were playing duels just before.
It might be a good search begin.

Hi,

This is not really a bug ;) I always vote for the "wrong" map. br_backwater is simply the first one in the list. I guess it depends on the order in which the gametype and the map are selected ...

it is rather a matter of "unintuitive UI design" or something ...

At least for me ;)

Cheers

I have to agree with Breli's observations. There is porbably something like a bug in a different sense:

When you select "Single Player", then choose a map but don't start a game, then go back to the main menue, then go to single player again: then you will see the previously selected map highlighted, but the first one is actually selected.

Similarly for voting: start to call a map vote, then select a map but don't click ok, then hit escape, then try to call a map vote again: same thing: the previously selected map is highlighted again, yet the first in the list is selected.

@mczero: your observation is probably something like this?!
