ULX Votemap Help

[Nerf Herder]

I'm stuck on an issue with my Garrysmod server. I want to get rid of several of the maps so that they don't show up in my Votemap list (ex. many of the CS:Source maps). I tried excluding them through the ULX admin GUI, however even though I have them listed in the exclude list, they'll still be available to vote on when the time comes. I've websync'ed and restarted my server to make sure those weren't the issues.

Any suggestions would be helpful as the solutions I have found other places online have not helped me fix the issue. I appreciate the help.

You can go to addons/ulx/lua/ulx/modules/votemap.lua and you should be able to edit them out from there.

I'm honestly confused as to what changes I would need to make as my skill level just isn't here. Just getting frustrated since every change I have made to the server so far regarding the maps has done nothing to change the list. Here's the current coding of the file you mentioned.

------------------
--Public votemap--
------------------
ulx.votemaps = {}
local specifiedMaps = {}

local function init()
local mode = GetConVarNumber( "ulx_votemapMapmode" ) or 1
if mode == 1 then -- Add all but specified
local maps = file.Find( "maps/*.bsp", "GAME" )
for _, map in ipairs( maps ) do
map = map:sub( 1, -5 ) -- Take off .bsp
if not specifiedMaps[ map ] then
table.insert( ulx.votemaps, map )
end
end
else
for map, _ in pairs( specifiedMaps ) do
if ULib.fileExists( "maps/" .. map .. ".bsp" ) then
table.insert( ulx.votemaps, map )
end
end
end

-- Now, let's sort!
table.sort( ulx.votemaps )
end

ulx.convar( "votemapWaittime", "5", _, ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN ) -- Time before a user must wait before they can change their vote.
ulx.convar( "votemapSuccessratio", "0.5", _, ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN ) -- Ratio of (votes for map)/(total players) needed to change map. (Rounds up)
