Custom Game Types

A MapMixer Custom Game Type is a special user-customised version of a standard game type.  They are always based upon a standard game type and are differentiated by the following items:

• Map Source
• Game Rules
• Player Count Limitations
• Mutators

When you create a custom game type, you specify a "base" game type and select what the map source will be, along with any specific Game Rules, Player Count Limitations or Mutators.

These "new" custom game types can be used wherever you would normally have to specify a game type in MapMixer.  They are a great way to define a standard template for a particular style of play.

Examples

• A classic example of a specially customized game type is Instagib Deathmatch.  In this case you would add the Instagib Mutator to the Mutators list when creating the custom game type and also specify and other special rules you wish to apply.  You also don't have to stick with DM prefixed maps as you could specify any number of map prefixes to use.
• Another example is using the Greed game type (by Mysterial). In this case you could create another customised version that was setup for using a different pickup using the Greed Game Rules, eg:
  CoinStaticMeshName=GreedStatics.Ring
  CoinHUDTextureName=GreedTex.Icons.Ring
  CoinPickupSndName=GreedSounds.RingPickup
