How to use
Offline:
Start Alienswarm. Then bring out the console and type open
Ao-Research?Mutator=AoCustCamp140.MutCustomCampaign.
This will load AO-Research using the custom campaign mutator. You can
then use the vote menu to create your own campaign (by selecting Custom
Campaign in the maplist) or select one the predefined Upsilon campaign.
On
servers:
Add AoCustCamp140.MutCustomCampaign to the mutator list when starting
the server, i.e.
ucc server AO-Research?Mutator=AoCustCamp140.MutCustomCampaign
-mod=Alienswarm.
Note
that if you use the sigma
vote bug fix mutator (by Butters),
you'll need to remove it because it will most likely cause problems if
used together with this mutator. The custom campaign mutator also
include the vote bug fix.
Defining your own custom
campaign require some work, escpecially if you want a custom lobby map
too. For now, you can export the source and see how it's done, or contact smattbac about it. More detailed information will follow...soon.
4. History
June 23rd 2005
-added support for lobby maps.
-changed how custom campaigns are defined. You can no longer specify
them in Alienswarm.ini. Instead you must compile a class defining your
campaign along with a .int file so the mutator can find it.
-Upsilon campaign updated. Made it use a lobby map, AO-Weaponfacility
was dropped in favour of
AO-Depot, and AO-Lostcontact was updated to AO-Lostcontact-SE8.
24.apr.2005 - v1.35
-fixed some "typos" in mapnames for Upsilon campaign
-if a server doesn't have the maps listed in a campaign the campaign
wont be added to the map vote menu
-custom predefined campaigns now start from AoCustMapInfoOne going up
to AoCustMapInfoSeven
26.jan.2005
- v1.2
-fixed a bug that made a server running the mutator to disappear from
the server browser list
-better parsing of map names when announcing a custom campaig
-added a "mutate CCInfo" command
7.dec.2004
- v110
-bAddToServerPackage=true in mutator so you don't have to add the
ServerPackages line to Alienswarm.ini when running on a server
-added default DifficultyModifiers for ingame created campaigns
-wrote the predefined campaign info in the class file instead of the
ini. This removes the need to supply the ini with the mutator, and
allows server admins to run several servers on one installation.
-fixed a bug where you could overwrite the current campaign info if a
vote for a new campaign failed
3.dec.2004
- First release
