I am running a TF2 server on Windows with Mani's latest v1.2s and would like to know of a mod or a way to do 2 things:
1) Lower the respawn times.
2) Vote at the end of each map for the next map
I don't see any functionality in Mani to lower the respawn times and the voting functionality in Mani doesn't seem to work for the next map voting. I think mainly because Mani is looking for some kind of time limit and TF2 changes maps on a win limit which is different from CSS or DOD.
Can anyone help me with these 2 items?

I am currently running a TF2 server with Bettle's Mod and are doing both those with no problems.

Thanks for the info Mooga!
I assume Beetle's mod and Mani can run together and that Beetle's mod runs off of SourceMod.
Currently I am running mani in the VSP mode, will that conflict with the Beetle's mod running with SourceMod? Just wondering because Mani can be run with SourceMod or VSP.

Beetle's Mod runs on it own within the server.
No need for Mani or SourceMod. In fact, I would REMOVE Mani and use Beetle for the time being. I don't plan on switching to Mani until a solid working mod comes out.
While Beetle is NOT perfect, he's been doing a great job with patches and fixes. He added a few special customization to the mod for me to make it easier to run my server and network.
If you need help with an install, PM me and I can give you a hand.

Thanks Mooga. It was pretty dang easy to install. Now I just have to read all the configuration stuff to get the voting and low respawn times.
It appears that it runs off VSP like Mani. I wonder what having two VSP mods running at the same time will do and how the server will run. Well, I guess I'm going to find out because it seems interesting.
I would try just Beetle's, but I love the quake sounds and the stats that Mani provides. I would love to use hlstatsx for stats, but those guys haven't (and I'm guessing won't) release a public version compatible with TF2 because they want people to pay for the premium.
