Okay, so I have produced a map all the way to the point where it is ready for beta testing, or so I thought. I have run into a snag that I cannot find a workaround for without putting in a character selection screen before you see the map. My problem is this. I have an 8 player map. 5 v 3. I need each slot in the game lobby to represent a character in the map. I have tried assigning it every way I can think of. This is a port of Heaven's Last defense and ideally, the following would apply.
Slot 1 = player 7
Slot 2 = player 2
Slot 3 = player 3
Slot 4 = player 4
Slot 5 = player 8
Slot 6 = player 1
Slot 7 = player 6
Slot 8 = player 5
Now if i could find a way to do it with 8 teams that would be fine too. I just need the slots in the lobby to correspond to the archetypes in game. Essentially I need the lobby to work like it did in SC1. Anyone have any advice. As it stands now the first player in the game is Player 1 and is defaulted to that role no matter what slot or team he is on.
To change the lobby you need to add a game variant, set it as the default, and change the attributes etc. of that variant (game mode, speed, teams, color, and "player team custom teams").
