i've got dots invasion mod for ut99 and want it to show up in the list of gametypes you can choose from in practice sessions. The .ini he/she included with the package is apparently useless.

Code: Select all

[Public]
Object=(Name=Invasion.Invasion,Class=Class,MetaClass=Botpack.TournamentGameInfo)


What's wrong with it? Is that not enough to make it show up in the gametype list? I can start matches from the commandline but that's unnacceptable. I want to use xmaps and play multiplayer etc.

edit: it's really aggravating. I've decompiled a whole bunch of other gametypes, jailbreak, waterwar, slavemaster, etc. In general they all follow the above template. I can't work out what's going wrong. I can start a game by using the commandline, but the instructions for starting a server don't work. and I don't want an online server, i want to optimize for lan etc. It's annoying cause it's a so close yet so far situation. The gametype obviously works, but it doesn't show up in the damn list. dots is a brilliant coder but why the *** couldn't he have added that five minutes of polish to stick it in the list :x *fuming*

Is your version different than the one on HyperNL's site? The invasion gametype there looks like it's intended for Unreal, so that might be why it's not showing up in the UT gametype list.

Yeah, this one is different, has a slightly different readme indicating it's for UT and the filesize is smaller. Can't recall where I got it from originally

Okay, I think I figured it out. Replace the line in the .int file with this:

Object=(Name=Invasion.Invasion,Class=Class,MetaClass=Botpack.TournamentGameInfo, Description="Invasion")

Then you should be able to choose Invasion under the category section, and not the game type section. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not, but it's the only way I could get it to work.

hmm, on my machine that succeeds at getting it into the practice session list, but then when I actually play a game it is just normal deathmatch :S thanks though, feel like I'm one step closer

You might have to restart your Unreal Tournament a few times. When I first got Invasion to show up, it would only let me choose Assault maps. Does it say Tournament Team Game in the game type section?

When you select a gametype you usually need to close and bring up the botmatch menu again before it'll actually let you launch that gametype. It's a bug with UT99's menu system.
