Custom Gametype

I'm looking into scripting stuff to work on an idea I came up with a few weeks ago.
Basically, I want to both create my own custom multiplayer gametype, as well as my own custom version of territories. Do I have to use an existing gametype to make a new gametype or is there a way to create a new one by itself via Fear & Loathing?

No automated way, you'll have to basically pick one of the gametypes and then add all the scripting for your custom gametype.
Some examples if you want to see how other people did this are: Fetchball (a soccer variant, complete with team scoring in the menubar) & DorfBall, TrowBall (don't remember how much scripting this has)

There is a gametype from the mesh options in Fear called "Custom". When it's enabled as an option it shows up in the pregame list as "None" and as an empty space in the pregame picture box. "None" can be changed to something else by editing internal netgame names but the space in the pregame box I don't know how to change. No internal netgame rules string displays when playing the "None" gametype. Is it at all possible to make the Custom/None gametype work in netplay?
