This tutorial will cover how to add a custom gametype to the Set Game Mode list in Custom Games. This is only for Multiplayer mods.
In your core_mod.zone, add the following:
structuredtable,gamedata/tables/common/mod_game_types.json
In your mod folder, add the following folder structure: gamedata/tables/common/
From the raw files, copy the default mod_game_types.json file from Call of Duty Black Ops III\share\raw\gamedata\tables\common to your mod's gamedata/tables/common/ folder.
It should look like this:
{
"_meta": {},
"data": [
{
"comments": "Keep GameType Index Between 200 - 250 For Readability",
"id": 20,
"index": 201,
"session_mode": "mp",
"name": "tdm",
"name_ref": "MPUI_TEAM_DEATHMATCH",
"name_ref_caps": "MPUI_TEAM_DEATHMATCH_CAPS",
"hardcore_name_ref": "MPUI_HCTDM",
"description": "MENU_KILL_PLAYERS_ON_THE_OPPOSING",
"hardcore_available": "YES",
"is_team_based": "YES",
"groupname": "standard",
"image": "playlist_tdm",
"loading_screen_image": "t7_menu_mp_icons_gamemode_graphic_tdm",
"presence_ref": "PRESENCE_TDM"
}
]
}
Change MPUI_TEAM_DEATHMATCH and MPUI_TEAM_DEATHMATCH_CAPS to localisation keys for your mod. And change "tdm" to the name of your gametype.
For example, in my Onslaught mod I created a onslaught_menu.str file in english/localizedstrings, with the following:
VERSION "1"
CONFIG "C:\projects\cod\t7\bin\StringEd.cfg"
FILENOTES ""
REFERENCE ONSLAUGHT_LOWER
LANG_ENGLISH "Onslaught"
REFERENCE ONSLAUGHT_LOWER_SHORT
LANG_ENGLISH "Onslaught"
REFERENCE ONSLAUGHT_CAPS
LANG_ENGLISH "ONSLAUGHT"
REFERENCE ONSLAUGHT_CAPS_SHORT
LANG_ENGLISH "ONSLAUGHT"
ENDMARKER
And in the mod_game_types.json for the mod I did this:
{
"_meta": {},
"data": [
{
"comments": "Keep GameType Index Between 200 - 250 For Readability",
"id": 20,
"index": 202,
"session_mode": "mp",
"name": "onslaught",
"name_ref": "ONSLAUGHT_MENU_ONSLAUGHT_LOWER",
"name_ref_caps": "ONSLAUGHT_MENU_ONSLAUGHT_CAPS",
"hardcore_name_ref": "ONSLAUGHT_MENU_ONSLAUGHT_CAPS",
"description": "MENU_KILL_PLAYERS_ON_THE_OPPOSING",
"hardcore_available": "YES",
"is_team_based": "YES",
"groupname": "standard",
"image": "playlist_onslaught",
"loading_screen_image": "t7_menu_mp_icons_gamemode_graphic_tdm",
"presence_ref": "PRESENCE_TDM"
}
]
}
Once you have done that, re-compile and you should see this ingame:
