This project, initiated in March 2020, enables players to vote for the next map and/or game mode in upcoming matches. The project does not provide compiled files; if needed, compile the file using the gsc-tool.

It is possbile to download either the source code or the released code. The source code is not fully test and could run into issue that need to be reported while the release is tested code that could have some bug not fixed but working as intended.
I highly recommend using the unreleased version and keeping it up to date for implementing features and patching reported bugs.
