Offline Solo & Bot Custom Matches
By Dev
Introduction:

This guide will allow you to play in an offline mode both solo and in bot matches, with a few custom tweaks.

The goal here is to be able to practice with characters, learn their abilities and learn map flow. As well as being able to access and test characters you may not have unlocked previously. As this setup will have all characters available.

This guide was inspired by asangulov.3255 and his "Gigantic Offline Mode" guide. I have added my own custom tweaks and insights that I feel warrant it's own guide. All respect to those who laid the ground work that I am attempting to extend.

Adding Bots and other tweaks to DefaultInput.ini
First things first we need to make some .ini adjustments that will allow us to add bots when in game as well as setup a few custom tweaks.

  1. Go to the folder "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Mission 202\RxGame\Config" (Without quotes) or where ever you have the game installed.

  2. Open the DefaultInput.ini file using whatever text editor you prefer. Feel free to make a backup of this file before making adjustments.


  3. Once you've opened the DefaultInput.ini scroll down to the section labeled "; Debugging Bindings" (without quotes) and insert the chosen text ABOVE that section with a single empty space above and below the added text.

    Which should look like this.

    .Bindings=(Name="P",Command="disablestamina")
    .Bindings=(Name="O",Command="disablecooldowns")
    .Bindings=(Name="I",Command="startbotmatch 5 1 | startbotmatch 4 0")

    This will add 3 commands for in game use while offline (Explained below).

    .Bindings=(Name="P",Command="disablestamina")
    Maps the "P" key to disable the stamina requirement for skill usage.

    .Bindings=(Name="O",Command="disablecooldowns")
    Maps the "O" key to disable the cooldown limitation on skill usage

    .Bindings=(Name="I",Command="startbotmatch 5 1 | startbotmatch 4 0")
    Maps the "I" key to add bots into the match once you've started an offline game.

  4. Save the file and we are done with ini tweaks. Move on to one of the "Launching The Game Offline" Sections.

Note:
The "Simple" section is the easiest way to get into an offline match.
The "Dedicated Launcher" section will allow you to leave the normal game launcher as is for online play while having a dedicated launcher for offline.

Launching The Game Offline (Simple).
So now that we have the .ini tweaks completed we can select a map/mode and play (The easy way).

  1. Select a map/mode from the list below.

    Clash Mode Maps:
    LV_Canyon
    LV_Grassland
    LV_MistForge
    LV_ModCity
    LV_SkyCity2
    LV_Valley
    LV_WizardWoods

    Rush Mode Maps:
    RS_Canyon2
    RS_MistForge2
    RS_ModCity1
    RS_SkyCity1
    RS_Valley3
    RS_WizardWoods2

  2. Once you've selected a map/mode copy or note the text for that map/mode. Go to the game's page in your library and click on the "Gear" icon (Settings button) and select "Properties". Should look like this.

  3. Stay on the "General" tab in properties and insert the the map/mode text into the "Launch Options" section. Only add one map/mode at a time. Should look like this.

You are now ready to launch the game in offline mode.
Launching The Game Offline (Dedicated Launcher)
So now we have the .ini tweaks completed but we want a dedicated launcher for our offline mode setup. Instead of editing the default launcher we're going to add a secondary launcher to play offline.

  1. Select a map/mode from the list below.

    Clash Mode Maps:
    LV_Canyon
    LV_Grassland
    LV_MistForge
    LV_ModCity
    LV_SkyCity2
    LV_Valley
    LV_WizardWoods

    Rush Mode Maps:
    RS_Canyon2
    RS_MistForge2
    RS_ModCity1
    RS_SkyCity1
    RS_Valley3
    RS_WizardWoods2

  2. Go to the bottom left corner in steam, click on the "Add a Game" option and "Add a Non-Steam Game.

  3. Click on the browse option in the "Add a Non-Steam Game" window.

  4. Navigate to the installation folder for Gigantic which is usually here "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Mission 202" and select the Gigantic.exe.

  5. Click the "Add Selected Programs" button which will add a second launcher for Gigantic in your Steam Library.

  6. Go to the new launcher/game page in your library and click on the "Gear" icon (Settings button) and select "Properties".

  7. Here you can change the name of the launcher if you like. The important part is to add the map/mode you want to use in the "Launch Options Section".

Important Note:
Remember to leave the "Target" and "Start In" sections as they are.

Side Note:
You can repeat this process for each map/mode if you feel so inclined. This will add quite a few launchers to your library but will allow you to quickly launch into whichever map/mode you like.
Play Offline, Add Bots and Final Notes.
When you click the "Play" button the game will launch in offline mode. If you want to change maps simply close the game and change the map/mode that was added to the launch options section.

To launch the game normally again (Online), simply delete the map text that was added to the launch options section and launch as usual.


Important notes:

When loaded into an offline game select any character you want to play/test and load into the match. Once in the match you can use the following key commands that were added in the DefaultInput.ini section.

The "P" key will disable the stamina requirement for skill usage.

The "O" key will disable the cooldown limitation on skill usage

The "I" key will add bots into the game but can only be used in an offline match.

Thank you.
I hope this guide has been helpful. I love this game and wanted to be sure that people have as many options to play it as possible. I also want to again thank asangulov.3255 for his "Gigantic Offline Mode" guide which inspired me to go even further. Please feel free to check out his guide as well.
