Frequently Asked Questions

This section attempts to deal with some of the more commonly asked questions regarding MapMixer.

I want to select the first map to start the game

Also see Starting a Session With MapMixer.

When starting the Game Session from the MapMixer Configuration Menu
Go to the MapMixer Map List Editor and right click on any map and select "Cue as First Map" (or simply select the map and hit F8), then start the game.

When starting the Game Session in the standard way from the UT Menu
If you want to manually choose the first map to play in a game then make sure you have the First Map in Map List option set to either Move To Start of List or Jump to Position In List.  If you want to make sure that MapMixer has full control over this first map then activate the Reload First Map option.

I want the first map to be a random map from my map list

Also see Starting a Session With MapMixer.

When starting the Game Session from the MapMixer Configuration Menu
Simply make sure that MapMixer will shuffle your map list when it initialises it

When starting the Game Session in the standard way from the UT Menu
If you want the first map that you play to be a random map from your map list then make sure MapMixer will shuffle your map list and simply set the First Map in Map List option to Ignore in List and then switch on the Reload First Map option.  Here's what happens:  MapMixer initialises the map list for the session and then looks to see how you want to incorporate the map you chose to start the game with.  In this case MapMixer is told to ignore this map.  Now because it is instructed to reload the first map, it looks to the first map in the map list and because the map list was shuffled, the first map is a random one from the map list.

How do I play a map in a different game type?

There are various ways to do this but the easiest way is to simply create a map list of the maps you wish to play and then start the game in the desired game type you like.  Note that you must have the Auto Switch Game Types option disabled or MapMixer will try to switch to the game type specified for each map in your custom map list.

How do I add a map to the map list while playing?

Use the console command addmap to add a map or maps to the current position set by the navigation pointer.

For example:

To add BR-Skyline to the current map list then you would type:  mapmixer addmap br-sky
However, if you want to make sure it gets added as a Bombing Run game then type:  mapmixer addmap br-sky br
To add all the 1on1 maps in Deathmatch you would type:  mapmixer addmap dm-1on1 dm
