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

Why not make it mtl based?

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

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

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)

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"

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.

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?

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

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

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();
}

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)

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

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