[Tutoriel] How to add Battle Royale game mod in your map (office exemple)

In this article, i will explain how you can use battle royale custom game mod in your map.

First you'll need some files that you can find here :

[PM TO GET IT]

The archive contains :
- battle_royale/battle_royale.vmf // Map instance that contain entity's needed
- cfg/battle_royale.cfg //Cvars used for the custom game mod
- vscripts/battle_royale/battle_royale.nut //Vscript used for game logic
- battle_royale.kv //Exemple of kv file that is required for battle royale mod

In this tutoriel, i will convert cs_office into br_office, using the vmf files that you can found in sdk_content_ folder.

1. Backup your files

Because battle royale game mod will change the spawns in your map, you can't use it directly in your map.

So first of all, copy the vmf of your map and rename it with "br" prefix (exemple cs_office -> br_office).

Remember to copy also other files such as radar overviews, soundscapes, kv files, ...

Note : For maps using map instances (like cs_office) it is recommended to copy and rename the instance (exemple : cs_office_main into br_office_main) and to change the func_instance consequently.

2. Place the files in the archive

- Put the battle royale folder where you want (exemple : sdk_content/maps/instance/)
- Put the battle_royale.cfg in your csgo/maps/cfg folder. Then you'll have to rename it to the name of your map (exemple : csgo/maps/cfg/br_office.cfg )
- Copy the vscripts folder in csgo (path of battle_royale.nut must be csgo/vscripts/battle_royale/battle_royale.nut)
- If your map have no kv files, use the one in the archive (and remember to change the values ). What is a kv file and how to use it :

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Choosing_Player_Models

3. Modify your map

- To work properly, BR game mod must have no ct spawn entities. So you'll need to remove all your info_player_counterterrorist on your map (for cs_office, remove the three func_instance that contains the ct entities).
- Then you have to move your terrorists spawn entities to where you want that players spawns. For cs_office exemple, remove all three func_instance that contains those entities and place new info_player_terrorist in differents places of the map.
- Finally, remove all entities related to classic game mods such as func_buyzone, hostages, bomb, ...

Note : Last part is optional but is strongly recommended

4. Add map instance into your map

Add a func_instance on your map. Refer to the vmf previously extracted in this entity (battle_royale.vmf).

5. Modify Battle Royale files

Battle royale game mod count every time how many players are alive. To do that, it use a predefined player model. So if you want that the game mod work (which is legitimate) you have to specify which models were used in your kv file.

- Open battle_royale.nut
- Replace the lines with the anarchist skins with the skin you used for your map.

Exemple : replacing

"models/player/tm_anarchist.mdl", "models/player/tm_anarchist_variantA.mdl", "models/player/tm_anarchist_variantB.mdl", "models/player/tm_anarchist_variantC.mdl", "models/player/tm_anarchist_variantD.mdl"

with

"models/player/tm_pirate.mdl", "models/player/tm_pirate_variantA.mdl", "models/player/tm_pirate_variantB.mdl"

If you use only 3 skin of pirate in your map.

What can be also easily customized :

- Comment any line in order to remove weapon possiblity, exemple for removing awp :

"@br_equip_taser", "@br_equip_hegrenade", "@br_equip_grenades", "@br_equip_tec9", "@br_equip_elite", "@br_equip_usp_silencer", "@br_equip_glock", "@br_equip_p250", "@br_equip_fiveseven", "@br_equip_hkp2000", "@br_equip_deagle", "@br_equip_nova", "@br_equip_sawedoff", "@br_equip_xm1014", "@br_equip_mag7", "@br_equip_negev", "@br_equip_m249", "@br_equip_mp9", "@br_equip_ump45", "@br_equip_mp7", "@br_equip_p90", "@br_equip_mac10", "@br_equip_bizon", "@br_equip_galilar", "@br_equip_famas", "@br_equip_ak47", "@br_equip_m4a1_silencer", "@br_equip_m4a1", "@br_equip_aug", "@br_equip_sg556", "@br_equip_ssg08", //"@br_equip_awp", "@br_equip_scar20", "@br_equip_g3sg1"

- Change the maximum delay between each death :

TIMER_DEATH <- 60; //For one minute

Note : values such as 90 seconds may lead to an error of display in the beginning of a round.

6. Compile and test

Not difficult. Remember to test by lauching your map in custom game mod (exemple : br_office custom") otherwise your_map.cfg will not be read (i guess).
You'll see if the battle royale game mode is running with your console flooded of message from battle_royale.nut (if waiting for players).
The console chat log can be disabled by changing the value of DEBUGCONSOLE to false in battle_royale.nut

7. Enjoy or cry

Please post any questions in the following discussion.

Note : If you publish your BR map in the workshop, remember to include battle_royale.nut in your bsp (using bspzip for exemple) because it is not included automatically by the workshop publisher.

Thanks for this tip. Will this work as well on any custom map from the workshop? :) Im trying to running a [BR] server and starting with your map here. Awesome work!

el_bla' [developer] Feb 4, 2014 @ 12:28pm

This should work on any map were you can have the sources (vmf files). So for any custom map i dont think so (or you can ask the sources for the map from the creators)
