In the beginning of the game, If the modes are not selected and voting begins, users must type commands like -nightmare and -noair and -noinvis if they are to participate in voting for mode selection. This process is not friendly to some players because it requires the user to type quickly and takes time away from everything else. We are interested to change the way voting works so that instead of the user typing the modes, they will choose from a Dialog instead.

i think u should pause the game for all players for like 20 sec.. while the voting commences .. so that no time is wasted.

OH YES ABSOLUTELY.

This would also help the problem that there's only one way to vote for something. If I try to vote for Nightmare mode by typing -nightmare , nothing happens. I can only vote for that by typing -nm . (Or is it the other way around?) That might be intuitive to most players, but I've always wanted a more idiot-proof system for voting. A dialog window would be perfect.

I'll add to this as my first post to the community. :) 

Sometimes when I'm...distractted I'll hit enter, ready to type in my load code, and the game will choose Very Easy mode. That's very aggravating if you have a decent size lobby this day in age.

Text commands have always been very useful especially back in the days of SotDRP.

+1 on accidental dialog selections, +1 for commands
