Viewing Non-Standard GameTypes in Browser

[{UR}Scorpion]

With all of the different gametypes now being developed, here is a quick solution for those of you that cannot see anything but the standard types from your UT3 browser.

Create a file in your "My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config" folder called UTOtherBrowser.ini. Your folder location might be slightly different on your system. The filename also is not important, I just used something that would convey some info. Inside the INI file insert the code below and save the file.

UTOtherBrowser.ini

[Other UTUIDataProvider_GameModeInfo]
GameMode=Other.Other
GameSettingsClass=UTGameSettingsOther
GameSearchClass=UTGameSearchCustom
FriendlyName=Other
Description=File to show other game types in browser

I have not tested completely the minimum settings that must exist in the file but what I have above works fine. I have just inserted some very generic info in place.

Now when you start UT3 you will have an additional gametype of "Other" listed. When you do a search it will then list all of the non standard gametypes.

Cheers!

Works perfectly.

Tho if its picked in Instant Action it will show every map you have installed and play it as DM but you can't configure the bots and how many frags to win, just play with default settings.

Excellent. The minimum required for it to work seems to be:

[Other UTUIDataProvider_GameModeInfo]
FriendlyName=Other
GameSearchClass=UTGameSearchCustom

Additionally, you can mark it as a campaign gametype to stop it showing up in the instant-action menu:

[Other UTUIDataProvider_GameModeInfo]
FriendlyName=Other
GameSearchClass=UTGameSearchCustom
bIsCampaign=true

Thanks for the update on the entries.... Only reason I posted here is this might be more useful to the general player audience.
