3 Menu Questions

[mft004]

Hello there,

I have 3 random questions for a wizard out there, on game settings chosen prior to a battle.

1) Currently, when I click on the 'Multiplayer' tab, the first sub-tab loaded up is 'Join Local'. Is there a way to change that so that clicking on 'Multiplayer' will bring up 'Create Local' first?

2) When I click the 'Create Local' sub-tab, the first battle type I see listed is 'Conquest'. Is there a way to change that to bring up 'Coop' battle types first?

3) Is there a way to change the default team loaded at the start of an SP (coop) round? At the moment it will put me on the US forces team, to choose a US kit/spawnpoint etc. Is there a way of starting out, by default, with the MEC team?

Many thanks for any help from wizards.

The first 2 questions are flash menu related I think, and that cannot be modded. You basically would have to make a new menu (or edit the BF2 one). We don't hand out our menu flash source files.

3 can be done through python by listening to onConnect and setting team to whatever you want.
Remember that the order of registering events counts, and if you register it before the autobalance then the autobalance will fire after switching.

Alternatively for 3, you would need to edit the init.con file in the level, and for most cases it's a line like init_usmc.con.

That is in the 16, 32, 64, 128 GamePlayObjects.con files. You switch team 1 or team2 with the team you would like.

Abbreviations can be found in faction_init.con.

Canadian = cf
British = gb
Militias = chinsurgents

Though if you want the voices to be different than the ones set in the main init, edit the init.con with the desired faction and remove any entry in the GPO.
