Switch from Skirmish to Deathmatch

Workshop Discussion

Hey fellow workshop people!

I’ve been playing around with the workshop a bit, I created some rules and I changed some stats for the heroes, like abilities enabled/disabled, cooldowns, movement speed etc, you know it. The problem is that I’ve been setting everything up & playtesting stuff in the Skirmish gamemode (6v6) but I would like my mod to be FFA, aka Deathmatch.

When switching the game mode and I start playing, my settings don’t carry over. Do you know if there is any easy way to fix this? For instance, I disabled Moira’s orb ability but it was still active in Deathmatch. When I enabled it and disabled it again in the settings, it was disabled in game, as it should be. It would really suck if I had to reset every single setting again. As far as I can tell, my rules are unaffected.

my solution is that you have to either 1. try to remember all the things you set for each hero, or 2. take a photo of all your changes for each hero. after you do that you just click death match 6v6 and then you redo what you did in skirmish but into FFA death match. let me tell you this, when you set things in a different match and you select like a new gamemode, your changes will be instantly gone unless you saved a preset of it. your best bet is too save your changes into a preset.

As long as you are on PC Notepad or any Text file editor is your best friend.

You copy your game mode Settings
(Most Right Button on the screen where you Save / Import Presets)

Take your game modes Settings paste them into the Editor.

And remove / add the “Disabled” to the game mode you need.
Paste the Settings back into the game
and voilà all changes are copied to the new Game mode.
