Making a Mutator(Non-MTL branched)

[Allan]

Right, i'm planning to try and make a mutator, and i'm stuck for how to even start with it...

If someone would give me a hand with making a basic Non-MTL mutator, i'll be most grateful

[Gishank]

Why not make it mtl based?

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

because not everyone is called klop and knows everything


@allan: actually everyone just makes mutators not basing on MTL
if you create a class like

Code: Select all

class MyMutator extends Mutator

then it is not based on MTL

to make it possible to base a Mutator on MTL you needed to use the MTL extender pack © [A]Nobody

[Cozmo]

the MTL Extender pack......... is?........

[Alex]

A pack which enables you to use DXMTL152b1.u in your mod. Not really required for mods.

Eh? thats just what i need! so a gametype could expand the mtl game?

I don't think you are able of making a gametype...

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

he wanted to say that this is the ticket to make a MTL based gametype

however.. it's a bit more advanced to make a new gametype anyways (undependent of MTL)
if you know how to make a normal new gametype you can do a MTL based one with the extender pack too (it's just a little bit more advanced)

[Alex]

I suggest making a new gametype not based on DXMTL first, when you managed to do that, come back to the topic of "I want the MTL extender so I can make a MTL based gametype"

[MainMan]

Yeah, almost all mutators are not based on mtl. (apart from the ones included in DXMTL, such as anti cheat etc.)

Your every-day mutator has nothing to do with mtl.

Can someone make a topic on the basics of making a mutator. Seeming as i haven't made one before please?

[Allan]

Huh? How did the topic change to Gametypes instead of Mutators... Well, any of you guys reccomend any websites for making mutators for Deus Ex?

[Cozmo]

Yeah ive made a gametype before with new playerclasses edited dx.ini and it all works but in game it just says the basic deus ex gametypes on the multiplayer menu

I don't think you are able of making a gametype...

Im not absolutely daft...
Yes i am a bad coder but it compiles =]

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

indeed, you don't need to be an [A]lex to make a new gametype

[Alex]

Correct, but actually making an MP gametype is a bit harder than SP I'm afraid...

[Allan]

This is just a stupid quick piece of mutator code, but can someone tell me if it would work, and how to get it set up for DXMP?

Code: Select all

//============
// CarcassRemover.
//============
class CarcassRemover expands Mutator;

Var DeusExCarcass C;

Function PostBeginPlay()
{
   foreach AllActors( class 'DeusExCarcass', C )
         C.Destroy();
}


[MainMan]

that will only delete the carcasses that are already in the map at the beginning. (i'm not sure why you would have them anyway)

[Allan]

Doh! There has got to be an easier way of making mutators than this hit-and-miss crap i seem to be doing...

[MainMan]

well what do you want to do? Make it like in dxag, so the player doesnt have a carcass? (without changing the player class)
