Squad VoteConfig.cfg Builder

Build Squad's most complex server config file. Incorrectly formatted entries silently break voting with no error message — this tool ensures the output is always valid.

Squad v7.2+ voting overhaul: VoteConfig.cfg works alongside LayerVoting.cfg (main pool), LayerVotingLowPlayers.cfg (low-pop), and LayerVotingNight.cfg (night window). This builder covers the VoteConfig.cfg settings file.

Vote Types

UseVoteLayer — vote on specific layer variants

UseVoteLevel — vote on map only (any layer)

UseVoteFactions — vote on faction pairings

Vote Timing

Vote Duration (seconds)

Time players have to cast a vote. Default: 60.

Number of Vote Options

Low Player Count Threshold

Below this count, LayerVotingLowPlayers.cfg pool is used.

Cooldowns (rounds before repeat)

Layer Cooldown (rounds)

Rounds before same layer variant appears in vote options.

Map Cooldown (rounds)

Rounds before same map appears in vote options.

Faction Cooldown (rounds)

Rounds before same faction pairing appears in vote options.

Night Layer Window

Hour Start (0–23)

Hour End (0–23)

Night layers from LayerVotingNight.cfg appear in the vote pool during this server-time window.
