Custom teams in UT3

[Shadowhawk]

hee,

when I play instant action, and I want to choose the bots. Can I choose which bots go in which team. I tried to get Iron gaurd to one side and Ronin to the other by using "opposing bot faction", but I still got mixed teams.

Does anybody know how to do it? or do you have a MOD for it?

I'm not sure if it does exactly what you want, but there is a replacement UI called MapMixer that gives you a lot of control over which bots play in offline games. It is quite a bit more functional than the normal UI.

It can't be done with the normal UI. Get MapMixer and fiddle around with it, it makes IA a lot better.

Indeed, MapMixer 3.0 final was just released couple of days ago.

Great UT menu replacement with fantastic list of options you can set, the way it shoulda been from the start.

just repeating yourself, you dont answer the question, what about when that earth manuevers gone and you perchance take another hit? or what about a double attack? and "it will shed its hate more quickly" without a thunder manuever is just bollocks XD lol

I wouldn't quite go that far, because mapmixer's menus are rather complicated for a new user. However, it's totally awesome once you realize what you can do with it.

the "hard" way would be using the command "addnamedbot botname"

and then adding the bots one by one. (Keep in mind you will add one on the enemy team and then the next one in yours and so on.)

If you always want the same bots you could write it out in a text file, put that in /mydocs/mygames/ut2/Binaries

that would look something like that

killbots
addnamedbot Akasha
addnamedbot Matrix
addnamedbot Lorque
addnamedbot Enigma
...

then you could add all the bots by just typing exec filename.txt

with mapmixer it says in the instructions you need to:
Open your UTEngine.ini config file in a text editor, and make the following *single* change:

Locate the section "[URL]", which is usually the first section in the file.
Locate the following line in this section, which should appear as:

LocalMap=UTFrontEnd.ut3

and change it to:

LocalMap=UTFrontEnd_MapMixer.ut3

This will replace the standard UT3 Main Menu with MapMixer's own. So if you need to revert back to the original menu, then reverse the procedure.

Alternatively you could copy and paste the orginal line in the ini file and just prefix the old one with a semi-colon for easy reversion. For example:

LocalMap=UTFrontEnd_MapMixer.ut3
;LocalMap=UTFrontEnd.ut3

but I can't find the right file, where is it?
