Deal with UMC issues

[Krenair]

Fun server depends on this (for voting on groups of maps - i.e. game type - rather than specific maps), and we want it for the others as well

[Azelphur]

To explain this in more detail...

When a map vote occurs on our normal servers, you just get a list of maps, and vote for a map. No problem.

Fun works differently, because fun runs multiple different game modes (eg zombie, prop hunt, etc)
So, for a map vote what happens currently is a menu appears offering a game mode

1. Zombie
2. Prop Hunt
   etc...

Then when a game mode has been voted in, a second menu appears offering a map selection.

The problem is UMC is no longer supported and doesn't build against newer versions of SourceMod.

We are open to any ideas that would work well with fun, or fixing the plugin, or making a new plugin. Essentially any workable solution :)

Just to add to this, @Azelphur mentioned it may be possible to have plugins like this built against an older version of SM, so we may be able to use UMC by doing this?

[Krenair]

Is that sustainable though? Surely new versions of SM won't support plugins compiled against older versions forever?

[RobAWarner]

I imagine not, but it would be a good way to get us off the ground and give us more time to either fix UMC or find something different, if that doesn't happen before releasing this.

For reference, UMC now does compile against SM 1.8!!
