The poll system in Over the Top WWI lets players vote on various actions, such as kicking players, changing maps, or adjusting gameplay settings. This feature improves community interaction and reduces the need for constant admin intervention.
By configuring the poll settings, you can control which polls are allowed and how they behave during gameplay.

The poll system is configured in the ServerConfiguration.ini file. You can edit it in your game server dashboard under the Configuration tab: select the ServerConfiguration.ini file and click Edit directly to change the raw text. Many values are also available as form fields with explanations in this tab. Alternatively, open the file in the config folder under the Files tab. The file contains the following parameters:
PollPercentThresh = 51
EnableBanPlayerPoll = 0
EnableKickPlayerPoll = 0
EnableChangeMapsPoll = 0
EnableMutePlayerPoll = 0
EnableCustomPoll = 1
ChangeMapImmediately = 1

After editing the ServerConfiguration.ini file, save it and restart your server. The updated poll settings will be applied automatically.
Your changes to ServerConfiguration.ini are retained after restarts. The only exception is WhiteListIsEnabled: ZapX sets this value at every startup based on the Enable whitelist startup parameter. The server name, player count, and passwords are not in this file; you can set them under Startup parameters in the Configuration tab.
Congratulations! You have successfully configured the poll system on your Over the Top WWI game server. Players can now take an active part in decisions, and server management is automated.
