Re: [hlds] Is there a cvar controlling Eternaween?

Re: [hlds] Is there a cvar controlling Eternaween?
Voting needs to be enabled, apparently. I haven't had time to test that yet myself, but if valve-based voting is enabled it's supposed to work. - Peter On Nov 22, 2013, at 3:16, Doctor McKay mc...@doctormckay.com wrote: Any update on this?

Re: [hlds] Is there a cvar controlling Eternaween?
Thanks, enabling sv_allow_votes and disabling the issues one-by-one achieves the same thing (disabling all built-in voting) but allows Eternaween to work.
