Teeworlds Server Voting Setup

Teeworlds Server Voting Setup

Teeworlds has a built-in vote system. Players press F3 (yes) or F4 (no) to vote on options you configure, or to initiate vote-kicks and map changes.

Adding Vote Options

Use add_vote in autoexec.cfg or via RCON:

add_vote "Label shown to players" "server command to run"

The label appears in the vote menu; the command runs if the vote passes.

Examples:

add_vote "Change to CTF5" "sv_gametype ctf; change_map ctf5"
add_vote "Change to DM1" "sv_gametype dm; change_map dm1"
add_vote "Restart Round" "restart"
add_vote "Enable Friendly Fire" "sv_teamdamage 1"
add_vote "Next Map" "change_map dm2"

Multiple commands in a single vote action are chained with ;.

How Players Vote

1. Player opens the vote menu in-game (default: F1 shows options, or the server broadcasts a vote prompt)
2. When a vote is active, press F3 to vote yes, F4 to vote no
3. If the majority votes yes within the time limit, the command executes

Clearing All Votes

Remove every configured vote option:

clear_votes

Use this via RCON when you want to reset the vote menu entirely and re-add updated options.

Vote-Kick

sv_vote_kick allows players to initiate a vote to kick another player.

sv_vote_kick 1
sv_vote_kick_bantime 5
sv_vote_kick_min 3

Vote-Map

sv_vote_map allows players to vote to change the current map to any map in the rotation.

sv_vote_map 1

When enabled, players can select a map from the vote menu. This uses the sv_maprotation list to determine which maps are available for voting.

Full Vote Configuration Block Example

Place in autoexec.cfg:

sv_vote_kick 1
sv_vote_kick_bantime 5
sv_vote_kick_min 3
sv_vote_map 1

add_vote "Map: dm1 (Deathmatch)" "sv_gametype dm; change_map dm1"
add_vote "Map: dm6 (Deathmatch)" "sv_gametype dm; change_map dm6"
add_vote "Map: ctf5 (Capture the Flag)" "sv_gametype ctf; change_map ctf5"
add_vote "Map: ctf1 (Capture the Flag)" "sv_gametype ctf; change_map ctf1"
add_vote "Restart Round" "restart"
add_vote "Enable Friendly Fire" "sv_teamdamage 1"
add_vote "Disable Friendly Fire" "sv_teamdamage 0"

Notes

• Vote options persist until clear_votes is called or the server restarts
• Add add_vote lines to autoexec.cfg to restore them automatically each start
• Votes that change sv_gametype should also call change_map to a compatible map in the same command
