Do you have an interface showing all the maps dynamically, that save user previous votes and show it correctly?

(doesn't need any server work for all that).

If you do, from there, I can explain you what you need to do to update the matchmaker protocol to use these votes.

That's why I thought about the solution I posted above: it doesn't require any interface work. Players who really care about this veto function would update their user forum preferences and not cry about the lack of interface as long as they are sure they won't play on their hated map.

I thought about something concerning this function. How about an information in the user control panel / preferences of the forum in the same way the faf username can be linked with the forum account (and allow GW access for instance)?

The information would allow users to pick a "veto for ranked map number X". If there is 20 maps in the map pool, a number from 1 to 20 would be assigned to each map and the users would write a single number. Then, the server would ignore it when a ranked game is launched involving that user. 0 or blank would mean there is no veto. I think numbers are easier to handle than map names (which can change, etc).

It's not for GW, and that was the function I was talking about.

Send that to the server, catch the right signal back, and you've got your map list dynamically.

Just wanna say that if you type "QCheckBox doc" into google (or any other QThingy doc) the first result is the official doc.

You'll probably want to use a curried function to do stuff with the signals of the checkboxes.

Code:: self.checkboxes = [list of checkboxes] def generate_stuff(index): @QtCore.pyqtSlot(int) def f(self, index): handle_checkbox(index) return f for i in range(len(self.checkboxes)): self.checkboxes[i].stateChanged.connect(generate_stuff(i))

hope it helps

Thanks johnie
I haven't been active for more than a week because of TI3 (dota) and a couple other things. Only got back to work on this two hours ago.

Alright, here's where I'm at right now:

...

As you can see, I successfully managed to add a button and the dialog itself =P
That was a bit tricky for me but I got through it without major frustration.

Now here's my plan:
Somehow, I'll get the map list from the server. Somehow. I haven't figured ANY of that out yet.
The code will "manually" create checkboxes for each map in a loop. That'll be a shitload of trial and error.
Then, I'm going to count the amount of vetos already done and disable all checkboxes when the limit of 3 is reached.
When "Save Vetos" is pressed, I'll save the maps that got vetoed to an array.
This array should then be available to the client. (I haven't figured global variables out yet, so wish me luck.)

After that, I got no clue how to continue.

As I have literally NO idea about how to do any of this, expect a couple days to go before I report back with my next results. As an alternative to that, you can continue helping me

What I'm still not really getting is where the actual game UI is drawn... If I wanted to add a button to the game widget, where'd I place it?

The UI is made using Qt Designer. It is a program installed when you install pyqt. Designer creates .ui files that are loaded by the program.
Check \src\client\_clientwindow.py line 51. It loads it.
Designer should be easy enough to use.

Btw, the .ui file is actually just xml, so if you can't figure Designer out, you could just manually alter the xml

You will have to look at Qt/pyQt tutorials to understand how signals and slots are working.

This is not that complicated once you grasp the basic concept behind them.

Alright. I got no clue what the signals are yet and how to interpret them but if I'll come back to that after I managed the basics of the new interface.
