All humans on one team. Uneven teams mutator.

[euchreplayer23]

I meant that yours and my version both crashed the PS3 at the same point. When loading into the PS3, I did not get the chance to test it out or even look at the config screen. It froze while it was unpacking (stuck at 100%).

For now I created a collection of useful snippets and currently holding 2 snippets with a minimal config scene.

• XUIConfigEmptyExt --- [PC|PS3][Latest release]
  External empty config Scene.
• XUIConfigEmptyInt --- [PC|PS3][Latest release]
  Integrated empty config Scene

Can you try both of these and report back if it works on PS3 (or if it just had to be re-cooked).

Both files loaded right and was able to get to the blank screen in the config mutator screen. Both also loaded when I successfully started a match.


You didn't say if your userdata.jam file looked similar to the above. There should be one .xxx for the .upk and one .xxx for the .u file. Ignore the guidecache file.

So, both versions did work. That says, the problem is not related to the integrated menu. It is probably something i'm referencing in code which isn't available on the PS3.

Cooking is just one button press, why would it look different

[RattleSN4K3]

So I guess, Alpha3 is not working (and Alpha4 probably as well). To track down the issue with Alpha3, I removed specific things from the codebase which might be related to the problem.

Alpha3-1: Removed config asset and code
Alpha3-2: Removed a specific per-object-config specifier
Alpha3-3: Removed the special single instance config class

Please, check each single version and report back which version is working (or if none is working at all).

[euchreplayer23]

All three loaded properly, have no config screens, map all launched fine. Player loaded fine, but no bots loaded regardless of how many bots were selected in all three cases.

Alpha3-1: Removed config asset and code
Alpha3-2: Removed a specific per-object-config specifier

[RattleSN4K3]

Player loaded fine, but no bots loaded regardless of how many bots were selected in all three cases.

Nothing is changed in regards of that. THis is only the Alpha3 version without the UI.

If Alpha3-1 is working and the empty UI (XUIConfigEmptyInt), there is something wrong with the UI which PS3 doesn't support on loading the package. This can be the case if the UI (of Alpha3) is referencing a class/property which the codebase from PS3 doesn't have. The crash when a package is hardcoded referencing a non existing class/property happens on Linux as well. Maybe the Dynamic page does not exist. Going to create some versions to track down the issue with the UI scene.

[RattleSN4K3]

New version:
Alpha-3-4: Removed references to dynamic page class.

You don't have to check anything game related. Try to install the mutator and open the config scene. The config scene is mostly empty. You can also try to run a game with the mutator.

Does not unpack correctly, 99% then freeze. Can't test other features.

[RattleSN4K3]

I did check the dependencies on Alpha3-4 and I probably missed some code snippets which still reference the dynamic page/list class. I created several versions where each version would have removed a specific feature/code.

Alpha-3-5: No UI population
Alpha-3-6: No 2D-String datastore
Alpha-3-7: No settings class reference in UI
Alpha-3-8: No struct
Alpha-3-9: No setter/getter for UI elements
Alpha-3-10: No reference to OptionList/DynamicList
Alpha-3-11: Empty scene

Hopefully/probably Alpha3-10 will work and this would indicated that PS3 doesn't support UTUIDynamicOptionLis (or maybe even UTUIOptionList).

[euchreplayer23]

Alpha-3-5: No UI population
Alpha-3-6: No 2D-String datastore
Alpha-3-7: No settings class reference in UI
Alpha-3-8: No struct
Alpha-3-9: No setter/getter for UI elements
Alpha-3-10: No reference to OptionList/DynamicList
Alpha-3-11: Empty scene

Well unfortunately I tested them all and none of them unpacked properly all stuck at 99%/100%. Was Alpha-3-11 really an empty scene like b4? Anyways, no luck with any of them.

[RattleSN4K3]

Strange. 2 new versions.

Alpha3-12: No scene asset
Alpha3-13: No scene class

Alpha3-13 is quite similar to Alpha3-1. I got the intention that something's wrong with the cooking process even if I do that precisely by clearing all cache data etc.

Did you cooked any version by yourself and tested it it could be installed?

[euchreplayer23]

I did not recook any of them, I will do a couple of them.
Alpha3-12: No scene asset
Alpha3-13: No scene class
These both got to 100% then froze.

I went back to the last working one this version does load properly.

https://github.com/RattleSN4K3/UT3-M.../tag/Alpha-3-3

V3 loads correctly

[BotBalancer UTUIDataProvider_Mutator]
ClassName=BotBalancer.BotBalancerMutator
FriendlyName=BotBalancer
Description=Balances the teams based on set conditions (Players vs. Bots, Bot-ratio, Map recommended players, ...)
GroupNames=
bRemoveOn360=False
bRemoveOnPC=False
bRemoveOnPS3=False

[LoadForAllGameTypes]
Package=BotBalancer

V4 onwards doesn't. I think that the last part may be causing the problems, I thought that was right but it may be wrong. I will re cook everything with the above working ini.

[BotBalancer UTUIDataProvider_Mutator]
ClassName=BotBalancer.BotBalancerMutator
FriendlyName=BotBalancer
Description=Balances the teams based on set conditions (Players vs. Bots, Bot-ratio, Map recommended players, ...)
GroupNames=
UIConfigScene=
bRemoveOn360=False
bRemoveOnPC=False
bRemoveOnPS3=False

[LoadForAllGameTypes]
Package=BotBalancer

[Engine.PackagesToFullyLoadForDLC]
MapName=UTFrontend
Package=BotBalancer

Give me several hours to test.

[RattleSN4K3]

It hardly looks like we have to try the external package for this mutator even if the empty internal scene was working.

Btw.
Alpha3-5 (and up), Alpha3-4 and Alpha3-3 (3-2, 3-1) are all from a different branch.

In case of trying to use an external package, you can use the u-file of a release and use the content package in the source files, the current content package is not referenced.

For Alpha3 use the u-file of the release and the content package of the source files.

[RattleSN4K3]

Any news? Should I provide a PS3-version with an external package?

[TKBS]

Ok, sorry for taking so long.
- no joy with cooking for PS3. but that's no surprise and probably not your fault, i simply cannot get it to cook.
- (maybe because i have the files in the Unpublished folders?, usually i cook my PC maps test thoroughly, then cook PS3, but im just thinking out loud)
As for the PC version:

• Other than 1 grammar mistake in the configuration descriptions the mutator seems to work. ← this is not an issue, it's just slightly unclear.
• Really nice work. UI system, functions, everything.

again, sorry for the late reply. I realized i was using the physx tutorial editor to try to test the mutator when it was in my published folder and using the normal game shortcut when the file was in the unpublished lol. It should have been the other way around

Edit:
i got your links, now i think i have all the latest stuff so i can test the PS3 version you cooked. will report back in a few hrs
Many Thanks to you RattleSN4K3
