Layers and Game Modes

[drummerzoid1]

If you read the star wars mod tools doc on layer it says you can make your own mode. I've been thinking, would that be posible to make a more objective based gameplay like one player?

You mean like the campain levels? Yes.
You mean like the assult mode in UT? Yes.

yeh, i don't know why other people aren't trying this yet, i will once i get my new windows xp OS but until then i'm just blabbing away at GT. There's endless posibilities if we can make our own game modes, this is cool!

i even heard that someone made a racing game for BF1. never played it though

Technically, you can make any game mode. The problem is that it has to replace an old one, and it will still show up as the old one. So you could use the Conquest LUA to make a UT-style Assault map, but it would still say "Conquest" on the Instant Action screen.


There is no way to make brand new game modes.

Are you sure about this? You can lanuch any 'game mode' through a batch file. If its just the GUI not displaying them, we can fix that once we figure out how to munge the shell.

Yes, you can launch them, but they all crash within two minutes after starting up.

I had a tag game mode running for about 30 min (I shut the server down). All the files used tag as the game mode. In the instant action map list, you couldn't select the game mode. It tag didn't show up. In the server list, you could see the server, it just didn't have anything listed for a game mode (used a batch file to setup and run the server).

The tag mode was just normal conquest with some deathmatch functions added to it. You could play conquest on it fine too. The tag mode didn't replace anything.
