Fixed [fixed] Unable to access the ref menu

[JohnDory]

When I and other refs on our server try and access the ref menu in game we enter the ref password, hit the escape key, then select the referee menu item,but, after that the vote menu is visible but when I try and use any command it tells me that vote is blocked 300 seconds after map start.

in our silent.cfg the vote settings are

 

// Votes
set g_voting 4   //changed from 0
set vote_limit 1   //changed from 5
set vote_percent 70   //changed from 50
set g_noVoteTime 0

That may be the inbuilt vote blocking. You can disable vote blocking per vote. Note that this does not allow the voting, so you can mix these and get referees vote to votes that are not allowed. I need to check if the inbuilt vote blocking actually blocks referee votes also and fix it properly to the next version.

Yes but I'm not trying to vote I am trying to gain access to the Referee menu ?

The restart map is in reality a vote that gets passed instantly because it is issued as a ref command. I have confirmed the bug and the referee commands are erroneously also subjected to the vote blocking. It will be fixed in next release. In the mean wile you can do quick fix by removing the vote blocking from the vote if otherwise possible.

Sorry I got the wrong end of the stick cheers.
