Default Here goes

Mapvote doesn't know but when it tries to launch the map that you are missing files from, it will loop back to the last map and then try to switch again and again in a main loop. It is a horrible crash requiring you to shut down your server and everything. Usually the players can't escape with out rebooting too.

It's fine to download files straight from the server with MapVote running but that server better have all the required files or at least be running BDBMapVote 3.04. At least it will auto switch by itself once the last map fails to load. The players will then just get a Connection lost error and they can just reconnect then. On MapVote 3.03, the players and the server both have to reboot if the server is missing needed files.

Anything else? Let us know.
