Try w/o quotes.. And alot of Spearhead variables work more often when you use the set command rather than the seta command.

set g_allowvote 1

Lots of strange bugs for shore... So if that don't work try typing on the console:

rcon g_allowvote 1

[General_Death]

1 not "1"

That should do it. ;)

Tried that didn't work, thanks for the input though. Any other suggestions out there?

Actually, I just found this out (shoulda tested it sooner), but I can go into the console and do a callvote through that and it works....could my callvote.cfg be screwed up?

We're seeing the same problem on the Mohaa Crew server managed by I-Lan. Have checked all the configuration against another server that is working and they're identical, except the I-Lan one keeps saying CAN'T VOTE ON THIS SERVER. :evil: :evil: :evil:

First, comment out the g_allowvote from the server.cfg:
// set g_allowvote "1"
For some unknown reason, setting it causes the server to disable the call vote menu (although callvote from the console still works). :?: :?: :?:

I tried different variations of the command (set, seta, sets, "1", 1) and the only way to get it to work was to remove it. g_allowvote is enabled by default anyway!

Also fix a typo (missing comment //) on the sv_pure line:
seta sv_pure 0 //(This is the defualt, it disables PAK checking - I wouldnt change it without reserach)
Appears all I-Lan MOHAAS config files have this typo! :evil: :(

Then create an empty ...\mainta\configs\unnamedsoldier.cfg file (create configs since it will not exist). The one provided by I-Lan under the classic MOHAA folder contains a setting for g_allowvote 0 (at least it did in our case).

To call votes this line has to be this format in your server.cfg:

// Allow Vote
// Enables players to call a vote.
set g_allowvote 1

if it is and you still cant vote either there is another conflict in your server.cfg or you may have probs with your callvote.cfg.

Heres my callvote.cfg as a sample:

// callvote options script
//-------------------------
// This is a server-side file that is used to specify what things can be voted for,
// and what the valid voting options for them are. The options clients are allowed
// to do a callvote on are determined by the settings in this file on the server.

// the format is as follows:
// "Option Name" "Command" <Type>
// {
// "Choice Name 1" "VoteString1"
// "Choice Name 2" "VoteString2"
// ...
// }

// "Option Name" is the name that will be displayed for that voting option.
// Command is the command that a change will be voted for.
// <Type> is an optional parameter specifying what kind of option it is
// Valid option types are:
// - "nochoices" : Provides no additional choices are info entry, it just is. (default)
// - "list" : Provides a list of choices for the option
// - "text" : Pops up a text entry window for the option
// - "integer" : Pops up an integer number entry window for the option
// - "float" : Pops up a floating point number entry window for the option
// - "client" : Pops up a list of players in the game for the option
// - "clientnotself" : Pops up a list of other players in the game for the option
// { and } specify the begining and end of a list of choices for a voting
// option. No list should be specified for any type besides list.

Actually, I did what Hammer suggested and removed the g_allowvote setting from the server.cfg, and put in the blank unnamedsoldier.cfg file and now it works fine. Guess maybe this is just an issue with the I-Lan installations. Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions. And thank you Hammer for the solution.
