Gametypes

A gametype is a set of game rules that makes for a unique gameplay. Warfork has 13 gametypes by default. The full list of gametypes can be seen on the main page. Gametypes can be changed by typing g_gametype <gametype> into the console.

Custom gametype installation

Custom gametypes can be installed by putting the specific gametype files in Warfork.app/Contents/Resources/basewf/progs/gametypes. Gametype files come with 3 different file extensions: .as (scripts), .gt (list of script files to load) and optional .gtd (gametype description). All gametypes are coded in AngelScript language, which is a scripting language used in Warfork and is similar to C.

Additional information

• Stock gametypes aren't available in progs/gametypes folder. They're located in Warfork.app/Contents/Resources/basewf/data0_21pure.pk3 file, which is a zip archive and thus can be opened with most file archiving software.
• Stock gametypes take priority while the game is loading. This means if a player puts a gametype for example called Duel in progs/gametypes, the game will not load the custom gametype and will load the stock one located in data0_21pure.pk3 instead.
• If a player wants to modify a stock gametype, they have to change the name of it to prevent the game from loading the stock one. Do not modify the data0_21pure.pk3 file!
• Gametypes are commonly called gamemodes.
• Most stock gametypes use GPL v2 license.
