random MUTATOR question

Post by EvilGrins »

When you select whatever mutators you're going to use, do you list them as you add them or do you arrange them in alphabetical order?

I list them as I add them but ... I keep a close eye on whether they all 'work' as intended as, for a variety of reasons, the precise order may be important (so, for example, some may not work properly if placed after, rather than before, another (specific) mutator).

So I normally use the same mutators for each game, though I may remove or add a couple depending on the gametype (for example, removing MonsterSpawn for MH or adding some XVehicles mutators for maps with XVehicles).

The order in that list sometimes affects if mutator are working correctly.
I don't know why (no code insight) but I noticed this behaviour.
