Game Type List

A game type list determines what game types to run the mod on. The list is array. Numbers are used to represent each game type. If a game type number is not in the list then the mod will not run for that game type. The numbers are:

• “0” // SP ( single player )

• "1" //FFA

• "2" //TDM

• "3" //RBM

• "4" //OBJ

• "5" //TOW

• "6" //LIB

Below is an example game type list. It does not contain the single player game type number so the mod linked to this list will not run in single player.

You can find an example game type list to copy Settings\Documents and Backups. Once you have the list copy it and paste it inside a file. I suggest the settings file that corresponds with the mod you are giving a game type list to. For example if you’re setting up a list for the mines, you would add the list to mines.txt. This is not necessary but makes it less confusing and just makes more sense. Once done you can edit the list to your desire. By removing or commenting out lines the numbers that represent the game types you stop a mod linked with the list from running in that game type number.

From the list above you can see that the game types FFA and TDM have been commented out. This is the same as removing them. The mod will not run on these game types now

From the image above your can see that the game type list gas FFA and TDM missing. They have been removed from the list and therefore the mod linked with this list will not run on TDM or FFA.

The next Step

Now that have a list you need to alter the mod line in mods.txt so the mod you want runs it.  So locate settings/Mods.txt and open it up in a program like notepad. For this example I will edit he camper mod to use this list. I have placed my list inside camper.txt.

Camper is the first mod in the mod list. I want to edit the game type list, so I scroll horizontally across to the 6th section. This section tells the mod to either run in all game types or load a list.

This shows the list before I have edited it. The path to the location I placed my game type list is” settings/camper.txt::gametypes”. The path starts from the “main” directory of the game. “::gametypes” points the location in the file to which the list is located. So I would replace the word “all” with the path to my game types list.
