sodakjones · Post by **sodakjones** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:06 pm

okay I am new at this and yes i have been serching but to no avail.
i have sucessfully moved the rally point s for the race so the track is how i want it. but i have 2 issues i am stumped with

i used sparkedit to move the rally points

issue 1
how to i get more than just one wort hog in race and i also want all vehicles in their. doesnt seem to matter even when i make a custom game type they still dont show.

Issue 2 i launch the game with my moded map and i can play it but no one can join it.
if i launch it in DS then i cannot join and play. yes i run ds on a separat computer.

i did save my changes in sparkedit.
thanks in advance.

Good question. i've struggled with this too.

You have to edit the scenario tag in a map editor (HHT, HMT, Eschaton) to change all vehicles to "Always on" in the gametype list..

will i need to extract the map out to get to these tags?

There is no dependency or index that specifies the type of vehicle that spawns for the race gametype. Vehicls in race are spawned from a netgame flag called "race- vehicle" to spawn something else you must change the order of the globals (.matg) list of multiplayer vehicles.

okay i get that i need to change a seeting please pretend i know nothing (not far from the truth and just give me a step by step to get to this setting it will help me understand the structure and how this process works. also let me know what software to use. i am new at this but im having a blast so far just stuck. probley on the terms as no turtorial i have found talks about this kind of editing. thanks. for the help so far i am learning but i think there must be something i am missing as i cant find these settings to change?

found the settings i think didnt have any plugins loaded for hht or hmt guess they needed to be i can find the netgame setting in the scenery tag
now i just need to figure out how to change the order in the globals and which one alows me to get more that one vehicle to spawn in the race game? any idea on that.

Well this is very helpful

But I can't help but wonder, would the scenario tag also have what weapons spawn with certain settings too?

You know like when its set to pistols you know how only pistols spawn... Well thats kinda what im thinking.

Instead of pistols theres like FLAMETHROWERS!
lol
I cant check right now cause im at school

but ill check that out when i get home in 5 or so hours

and edit this post unless someone already posted back.
