How Events Work

The GamerX Events: the event types, voting with GXT, joining, starting, winning and prizes.

Welcome to the GamerX Events!

One event runs at a time, separate from the races, in its own event world. Events start automatically: when one is over, the next one is chosen by the players' GXT votes.

The event types

Anyone can build and save events: see building-events.

Voting with GXT

Voting is always open. Put GXT on any event, any time:

• /evote <EventName> <GXT> puts GXT on an event. /evote alone opens the vote screen with an EVENTS and a RACES column, each with LIST and SEARCH buttons.
• /evotes shows the events with GXT on them.
• When an event is over, the event with the most GXT on it plays next (a tie: the one voted for first). If nobody voted, the event played longest ago runs.
• All GXT spent voting on an event is its prize. GXT you put on the event that is open for joining goes straight into its prize.
• If nobody wins, the prize carries over to the next event.

Joining and leaving

When an event is about to start, everyone sees "A ... Event is about to start, type /EVENT to join".

• /event (or /e) joins the event that is about to start. You get full health and armour, your weapons are reset, and the event's Player Guide appears.
• /leave leaves the event.
• /pe shows the players in the event.
• /ei <EventName> shows information about an event, and /events lists them all.

While you are in an event you can't teleport, and others can't /goto you.

Rating events

• While you're in an event, a line at the bottom says how to rate it: /like, /dislike or /broken. /rate gives you buttons to click.
• When your round is over, the buttons come up for 20 seconds. Press ESC or X if you don't want to rate.
• You get one rating per event and can change it any time, during the event or up to 10 minutes after. You can't rate your own maps.
• The rotation follows the ratings: liked events come up more often and disliked ones less and less. New maps start near the top until they have ratings. One pick in ten is fully random, so every map still comes up now and then. GXT votes still decide first.
• Broken: when a Host or the map's creator presses it, the event is out of the rotation and the vote straight away. When anyone else presses it, the Hosts get a report and look at it (/eventreports). /brokenevents lists the broken ones, and /fixevent <name> puts one back.
• /ei <event> shows its likes and dislikes.

Starting and ending

• Anyone can load an event when none is on: /lde (choose the type, then the map).
• /ste starts it, /ee ends it, and /fle <Player> removes a player. These belong to whoever loaded the event, or a Host.
• At the start you see "The "MAP" ... Event has started with N players!", then a countdown and GO.

Winning

• The winner gets the prize. In team events (TDM, LSS...) the prize is shared by the winning team's players still in the event.
• When you are knocked out you see "You finished the ... Event in position N."
