Settings under the heading:

[UT2Vote21.UT2Vote]

VoteAdminPass=
This password will give this Admin the same powers as the ServerAdmin.
In other words he/she will have access to anything and everything at any time and can login in with:
Mutate UT2VoteLogin password

Please Note... all the following settings are available ingame in the Admin Menu

ClanAdminPass=
This password will give this Admin the powers to only setup a game for a Clan Match.
Here he will be able to select the GameSetup Menu and do the necessary configurations for a match - again:
Mutate UT2VoteLogin password

NB.. These Admin loose there Adminship when they die. They can of course logout with:
Mutate UT2VoteLogout

GamePassword=
This password is the general Game Password which all players will need to logon onto your Server.
As there was much confusion in version 1.6 about this password it was decided to have a special dedicated place for it.

DefaultGame=
This is whatever you want your server to be as the default game and UT2Vote will set this up for you.
Whatever game you are running the very first time you start UT2Vote it will use that name as your default.
This can be changed at any time by you logging on as Main or Server Admin then calling up the Admin Menu:

You will see a checkbox (Set as Default Game) - just tick it and hit submit.
Basically now what happens is every 2 minutes UT2Vote checks your server to see how it differs from the default.
If there are no players on the server and a voted mutator is running and its not the default game, it will switch
your server back to the default game and remove all voted Mutators and Arenas etc.
When the server switches back to DefaultGame automatically, it will always switch to its Default Map which is setup in its appropriate GameType - see Game Configurations.

ServerMuts=
Mutators that will be common to all games should go in here.
If you have more than 1 Mutator, seperate them with a comma.
Please note also that the ServerMuts must only have Mutators in it.
If you have extra commandline parameters they must go in the ServerLine= - see next item.

ServerLine=
All commandline paramaters (ie. ?AdminPassword=Whatever) that are common to all games must go here.
Any command you have here will over ride a Game command as the ServerLine has higher priority.
Every command parameter must start with a ? (question mark).

bAllowMuts=
bAllowArena=
bAllowGames=
bAllowKick=

Setting these to True or False specifies whether they can be votable or not. Defaulted as True.

bNoVotePopup=
Defaulted to False, but setting it to True will disable the MapVoteMenu poping up at Game End and instead it will just momentarily display a < Mutate UT2VoteMenu to Vote > for the players information.

bDoGamePopup=
Defaulted to False, but setting it to True will force the little Yes/No VoteCast window to popup anytime during a game when someone decides to make a vote. Having this set to True can be very annoying to the game, but some prefer it that way :)

bPlayerLights=
This just tells UT2Vote whether players should have shoulder lights on during a DeathMatch game.
This has no effect on TeamGames.

bTallyOverlay
If set to True, then the Tallyvotes will be overlayed on the Map Image.

bShowBotsKick
If set to True the Bots will appear in the Kick Menu and can be voted out the game.

bAllowBehind=
When set to True it will allow Players to use 3rd person viewing in the games. BehindView 1

bAdrenDisable=
If set to True, all Adrenaline capsules will be disabled from the game.

bComboAdren=
If set to True, all frag and Combo Adrenaline will be disabled.

bVoteWhenDead=
If set to True, then players can vote before the Game starts and while they are dead.

bNoRestart=
If set to True, players will not be able to vote for a Restart at Game end.

bWebAdmin=
If set to True, then then all Mutators and non UT2Vote Games will not be seen in WebAdmin.
This is a safegaurd against Mutator clashing but should only be set to True if UT2Vote21.UT2Vote
is set in the server startup commandline.

bHideNames=
If set to True, then when a player makes a kickvote his nickname will remain anonymous and so will the players that voted Yes.

bAltSwitch=
With the many mutators now available and adding them all to the commandline sometimes causes UT2003 to lockup duting level changes. This function will eliminate this problem

bMutAlone=
Will allow a single player on your server to switch Mutators

bArenaAlone=
Will allow a single player on your server to switch Arenas

bAlwaysKick=
During the Game and once the Voting timelimit has expired and the play calls for the normal VoteMenu, the KickVote menu will pop up instead.

bDisDemoRec=
This will disable UT3Vote Admins from starting a Demo recording.

bSkinGlow=
If True then the next function is available for setting the value.

SkinGlow=
This can be set between 20 and 250 and effects the brightness of all Player and Bot skins.
Best effect is around 100.
Any value below 20 will disable this function and force it back to the UT default of 40
or 70 if you have bBrightSkins=True

GameEndWait=
This is the time in seconds that UT2Vote waits for a map to be voted for.
Should a map not get voted for in the prescribed time, UT2Vote will display a message and switch to the next map on the list or just a random map.

MesgTypeTime=
Many players have complained on how the popup menu interrupts their Say messages at the end of the Game.
Basically what happens now is UT2Vote will first look to see that everyone has finished typing their messages before poping up the VoteMenu. In other words if anyone is typing a message when its time to popup the Menu, UT2Vote will send that person a message:
**** Finish your message - Voting Time ****
UT2Vote will now wait another 10 seconds before it checks again.
Everytime it checks for someone typing it will also check the TypeTime you set above and if this TypeTime has expired, the VoteMenu will popup regardless of who is still typing and send those people a message:
**** Sorry - Time Up ****

Fixes

WebAdmin
In version 2.0 if bUseChatLog=False then the Console commands in WebAdmin for UT2Vote did not work, regardless if bWebAdmin was True or False.

In Game Voting
A bug in which the vote could expire depending on when the 1st player made a vote.
This would be invisible to the voters and just nothing would happen even if everyone voted the same.
Also some players would not be able to get the Menu up even though a Vote was in process.

Deaths Display
In 2.0 the number of Deaths displayed in TTM during a Teamgame was missing.

Additions

[UT2Vote21.UT2VotePackages]
Packages=(MutClassName="Whatever.Whatever", ServerPackages="Whatever")
Added new Packages section for Admin to add Packages for large Mutators that they dont want players to download everytime they join a server.
When one of these Mutators are voted or added to a GameType, only then will the Package be added to the ServerPackages and downloaded to the client if they dont already have it.
All Mutators that you want added to the ServerPackages need to go here.
The ServerPackages= section can have multiple packages seperated by commas.

There now is an option in the Client Menu to disable the Home key. bDisableHomeKey=True in User.ini file

The Menus

The Escape Key
The Escape key will now also Close ALL Menus regardless of where you are, except the ClientMenu simply because of the KeyBind functions in the ClientMenu
