Map editing question

[EvilGrins]

For a MonsterHunt map, is there a simple method to swap out all the monsters of a particular type in favor of another monster...or do I really gotta switch them all, one at a time, manually?

manually

Manually = One At A Time

Whoops. Thought you had that with a question mark.

I really need to beat this insomnia...

I am not sure if this was in UT2004 or UT, but yes it is possible.
You can add or rename all desired monsters to a specified group or name.
Right click > select all * matching groups. Or use the search actors tool.

I'll give that a shot.

Yes this is how I added the Electric Kralls, much easier

I didn't have much luck with it.

Think I'll stick with skinning.

You have to actually try first, very simple lol

I did try. I selected a spawnpoint, clicked on select all...but I don't know how to alter the properties of the spawnpoints so as to tell when what to spawn.

It's all Greek to me.

In UnrealEd2 There is a 'select all' for sure but there is no 'replace all' that I have seen. The most I have used 'select all' for is to delete everything of a certain actor.

I've upgraded my medToggle version 3 to now include an actor swap ability. More info here: http://www.birdieman.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/ ... 4047/20#26

As long as you know the class names of the monsters to swap in/out, this should do the trick. And it would be dynamic, rather than you having to edit a map.

Sounds good but I play with a random map mutator. Just swapping monsters on a particular map can be fun but I want to be able to have different versions of this one particular map with different monster classes on each.

You could still do that with medToggle, on your harddrive you might have all these versions of a map:

MH-BoogieV1
MH-BoogieV2
MH-BoogieV3

Then in medToggle ini you can tell the actor swap to happen per map, something like

mMap[0]=(MapName="DM-BoogieV1",ActorSwap="MHPackage.BigMonsterClass:MHPackage.LittleMonsterClass")
mMap[1]=(MapName="DM-BoogieV2",ActorSwap="MHPackage.BigMonsterClass:MHPackage.SquidMonsterClass")
mMap[2]=(MapName="DM-BoogieV3",ActorSwap="MHPackage.BigMonsterClass:MHPackage.ThumperMonsterClass")

Thumper??

What's a thumper?
