Well done.

I've had this image of the custom games stuck in my head for a long time. And it feels like Custom Games Options Reimagined.

If I do release a mod like so, I will be sure to mention you and this since it might include this mod.

MisterSipster

Yay!!!

Thank you for pointing me to this and talking about how it could be done.

Sounds awesome.
Imagination is everything, and it sounds like you've got lots!

GOLD3N 4RM

MisterSipster You could be sure of that.

Where do you put the script files?

GOLD3N 4RM

Press WIN + R and type this command: %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t6

Then create a new folder named "scripts" and then create two new folders within that one "zm" and "mp."

Finally, place the scripts in the ZM folder.

_Sloop_

Was actually just thinking about this, would it be possible to put map specific characters onto survival maps? like putting someone from tranzit into town survival? and then from there would it be possible to get crazy with it slam someone like Takeo into farm?

JezuzLizard

_Sloop_ That requires deeper modding than what is currently possible with current Plutonium. In Plutonium's next update it will be possible to use https://github.com/Laupetin/OpenAssetTools to link a new fastfile with assets for different characters and load it on Plutonium.

JezuzLizard Very interesting

Is there a 'random' setting for characters in case you still want that option?

MisterSipster

Sakaarason
Yes. It will default to random for every map:

kyemel_person

can i play any of these in a custom game with friends?

Fyahir22

lord Izaiha

ShayliAra

lord Izaiha I second this. I tried both methods and I can't get this to work at all

GhostForLifeTTV

Esue

it does work for me either

iliketrees

neither

EternalBlade21

Not working for me either, both options
custom maps and character select aren't showing in custom games

The LUA file that this mod replaces got moved to a different path with update r4516, and is overriding the path this mod places the LUA file at. This is why this mod’s additional custom games options aren’t appearing. I personally suggest installing this mod as a mod folder and loading the mod through it so that bypassing the Plutonium updater won’t be necessary to keep this mod applied, but an alternative method would be to modify the install_survivals.bat file and replace the first xcopy line with this:

xcopy /i "%CD%\privategamelobby_project.lua" "%localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t6\raw\ui_mp\t6\menus" /y

Basically, just add raw\ before ui_mp.
