Custom Campaign Mutator v1.5 (Asw v1.3 version)
Readme
1.
Description
This mutator adds support for custom campaigns in Alienswarm. You can
either create one yourself or select the predefined Upsilon campaign.
There are also the Phalanx and Telic campaign which you can (and should!) install and play.
2.
Installation
The mutator is automatically installed when you install Alienswarm v1.3.
If you have an old version of the mutator (e.g. AoCustCamp140.u) you can delete those files.
3.
How to use
The mutator is automatically loaded when you start Alienswarm.
Creating your own campaign involves subclassing the AoCCampaignInfo class in AoCustCamp.u, and filling in the defaultproperties and making link lines for the lobby map. Feel free to extract the source and examine how it's done. And remember that you need an MyCampaign.int file to accompany your MyCampaign.u file.
