Man, I can honestly say I've gotten nowhere with this thing. The manual is horribly stupid, and as a result, I'm appealing to the pros among you to explain a little something to me.

First, I have completed the first section of the tutorial. I managed to create two simple rooms separated by a hallway. Now when I run the map, how do I switch the default game type from single player to multiplayer disc arena, have my player rez in with a disc and a few subroutines? As of right now, he rezzes in empty handed with no subroutines. And before you ask yourself if I've really read the manual, the answer is yes I have. I'm a manual-reading kind of guy. The hazy description explaining how to create and include my LEVELINFO.TXT file with my map to define weapons and subroutines just ain't workin' for me.

I asked about this a while ago at tron20.net and got a good answer, it worked for me:


Easiest way:

Put the following in the 'command' field in the GameStartPoint properties: Msg Player (AcquireWeapon Disc)

You'll have the weapon, but it won't be in your hands. If you want it equipped at level start, use the following:

Msg Player (AcquireWeapon Disc); Msg Player (ChangeWeapon Disc)

Also set the 'SendCommandOnRespawn' appropriately.

Hope it helps.
