Other Gametypes
This is a guide about other (Non Monster) gametypes for TO3.4 and TO3.5
TO3.4 Custom Gametypes
• Gametype Mutator Pack aka "TO Extra Pack" aka "TO Mod Pack" (Works offline/online*)
• TOUT Mods (Works offline)
TO3.5 Custom Gametypes
• ESE CTF v1.1.0.0 (Requires Server with TOST v4+)
Gametype Mutator Pack (TO3.4)
The Gametype Mutator Pack aka "TO Extra Pack" aka "TO Mod Pack" contains DM, CTF, Keep The Flag and other mutators that work in a Practice Session.
* The problem is they won't let players join from the TO Quick Join tool, so in 2022 it is basically unusable for online servers.
Installation for Players
To install them copy over the folders from the download into the TO340 or TO350 folders.
To start custom gametypes you must either activate them from the Mutators button in the Practice Session Window, or sometimes start them from the "Mod" button in the Main Menu bar at the top of the screen.
Configure Gametypes
Some gametypes might create new .ini files, or create new section in TacticalOps.ini, from there you can configure various settings of each gametype.
To find more detailed instructions try searching for a readme in downloads above.
Installation for Servers
#1 - First add its packages to the ServerPackages list in section [Engine.GameEngine] of the server ini.
#2 - Add the Gametype line to the TOST Mutator Section, example:
When using TOST and the builtin TOST Mapvote you can configure it to load from it.
In the section "[TOSTTools.TOSTMapHandling]" you will find the following:
CurrentGameType=1
GameType[0]=Tactical Ops;s_SWAT.s_SWATGame;
GameType[1]=Capture The Flag;TOCTF.TFMod;
In this example i added the CTF gamemode as GameType[1], Wih the setting "CurrentGameType=" you set the default server gametype.
An alternative method is is to add them as variable to the "LocalMap=" setting in "TacticalOps.ini", example:
LocalMap=TO-Trooper.unr?game=TOCTF.TFMod
This can also be combined with starting mutators, example:
LocalMap=TO-Trooper.unr?game=TOCTF.TFMod?mutator=BotunBalancer.BotUnBalancer,sG_Bet.sG_Bet
#3 - If needed add the mutator line to the TOST Mutator Section, example:
[TOST42.TOSTServerActor]
Mutators[0]=TOMonsterFactory6.TOMF6
For more information or alternative way to run gametypes/mutators on a server read Part #17 of the Server Setup & Configuration guide.
