Votekick Control

Description

Overview

The Votekick Control Mod enhances administrative capabilities in Mordhau by intelligently managing votekick requests based on configurable rules and admin presence. When enabled, this mod can automatically cancel votekick attempts either always or only when an admin is online, while logging all votekick activity to Discord for complete transparency. This ensures fair play, prevents votekick misuse, and provides administrators with comprehensive oversight of server moderation.

Key Features

• Smart Votekick Management: Automatically cancels votekicks based on your configuration — either only when admins are online, or regardless of admin presence.
• Configurable Admin Requirement: Use RequireAdmin to control whether admin presence is needed for votekick cancellation.
• Discord Integration: Logs all votekick attempts to Discord with detailed information including initiator, target, admin status, and outcome — even when the mod is disabled.
• In-Game Commands: Simple commands to enable/disable VKControl and check current status without server restarts.
• Complete Transparency: Full audit trail of all votekick activity for server monitoring and analysis.
• Easy Configuration: Minimal setup with clear configuration options.

Installation Guide

1. Open the Game Configuration File:

   • Locate and open your game.ini file, typically found in the server's configuration directories.

2. Edit the Game Mode Settings:

   • Add the following line under the [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameMode] section to load the mod when the server starts:
     SpawnServerActorsOnMapLoad=/VKControl/VKControl.VKControl_C

3. Register the Mod ID:

   • Under the [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession] section, include the mod ID:
     Mods=3955438

4. Configure Discord Integration:

   • Add the [VKControl] section and under it place your Discord webhook URL and configure admin requirement:
     WebhookUrl="YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL_HERE" RequireAdmin=True
   • RequireAdmin — When True (default), votekicks are only cancelled when an admin is online. When False, votekicks are always cancelled regardless of admin presence.

Important: The Discord webhook URL is required for the mod to function properly. Without it, votekick logging will not work.

In-Game Commands

• .vkcontrol - Check current VKControl status (enabled/disabled)
• .vkcontrol enable - Enable VKControl
• .vkcontrol disable - Disable VKControl (all votekicks will proceed normally)

Note: Commands are available to server administrators and can be used without requiring server restarts.

How It Works

VKControl Logic:

• VKControl Enabled + RequireAdmin=True + Admin Online: Votekick is automatically cancelled
• VKControl Enabled + RequireAdmin=True + No Admin Online: Votekick proceeds normally
• VKControl Enabled + RequireAdmin=False: Votekick is always automatically cancelled
• VKControl Disabled: All votekicks proceed regardless of admin presence

All scenarios are logged to Discord with complete context, providing administrators with full visibility into server moderation activity.

Benefits

This mod provides essential quality of life improvements for Mordhau server administration by ensuring votekick powers are used appropriately under proper oversight. The automated management system combined with comprehensive Discord logging helps maintain a fair and enjoyable environment while giving administrators the tools they need for effective server moderation.
