OK, so, I've had a lot of problems with trying to get the game variants working so that it shows the right teams in the lobby. I've just about managed it, but now an additional game mode has appeared called "other" which it selects automatically. If you choose to create a game then you can just pick the second "other" which is the correct one, but if you try and join a game and it automatically hosts one, it picks the first "other" and it cannot be changed.
Only one game variant appears in the editor, the one I made. For some reason the name doesn't show in lobby, but that's fine so long as there is only the one mode.
So to clear this up... The editor adds a Other:Other variant by default. Also the default it creates is Other:Other. If your right click your variant you can set it as the default variant. Which means it will be selected when you host a game etc. You should provide a name for your variant as it just makes things easier.
Ah! Thanks, setting it as default should work fine :) I didn't notice the option.
My problem was that there would be an extra mode called Other:Other at lobby which it chose as default, despite it not existing in the editor. I have named my mode, but that is appearing as Other:Other also, meaning that in the lobby there was one Category: "Other", and two Modes: "Other" and "Other", which is strange (it worked earlier, but since changing it the name refuses to change). But now that I can choose the correct "Other" as default, that should be fine.
Wow that was confusing :D
