How can it be done?

I can't even make a custom map with only stalkers and even thought I've made a stalker only mutator, i can't progress with my perks because it isn't "white" listed as one TWI guy said.

So how can we go about getting our mutators "white" listed/flagged etc.

Not to flame or anything, but im absolutely sure that the mutator your talking about would never be whitelisted. The reason they didn't ship a stalker only mutator with the game is because of the obvious fact that the commando class uses them to level up. Based on your entire message, it seems your reasons for making this mutator and map are to exploit this leveling requirement.

Anyways, aside from that... I'm sure that you simple need to contact one of the higher-ups of TWI to get your mutator whitelisted. That being said, im sure they would be pretty strict about what they allow. Good luck!

Obviously i want to level quicker, i play on suicidal as the noobs often die in the first wave they play and quit, and it's a ***** having to use so much ammo for one kill with the Bullpup.

But cmon, no other class has to kill a few thousand of one zombie to level, it's unfair.

thats like saying medic is unfair because no other class has to heal their team mates.

You have to kill stalkers, because you are able to see them better.

At what, 5 meter ranges per rank? It would be Helpful if the range was atleast 25 meters per rank. because at close range you can hear them and it isnt very hard to guess where they are..

And i love playing as a medic, i love the fact that 100% of pubs don't heal each other :D more medic points for me mwahahaha, and the 30% speed buff lets me kite fleshpounds while the rest of the team blow them to hell.

Would you calm down with the Perk point whoring. It's simply lame. If you can't handle the specimen, you might want to search the cause on your side, not on the perks.
Very few people care about each others perk levels. Just play and enjoy the game.
I know, I do.

Anyways, aside from that... I'm sure that you simple need to contact one of the higher-ups of TWI to get your mutator whitelisted. That being said, im sure they would be pretty strict about what they allow. Good luck!
Who are those? :p

Actually I don't know if there will be any mutators that are going to be allowed. Everyone is whining about something.
The reason for playing the game should not be basing on leveling perks. Because one day, there will be an end at level5.

Guys what the hell would be wrong with a stalker only mut?
So the commando uses the stalker to level up, so what?
Sharpshooter and berserk can easily use the clot only mut to level up.

You cannot level up while using mutators. They disable the use of Perks.

Stalker only mut is not required due to the fact that you can use the Sandbox to create your own Wave configs.
Sandbox also does disable the use of Perks.

Red frog. you can level up with mutators that are already supplied with the game, not custom ones..

The idea of my stalker only mutator was so people can level commando easier as its bloody unfair, im at 1.7mill dmg with the bullpup and ive only killed 360 ish stalkers...

You're doing something wrong then, I level up sharpshooter just fine with clots-only

Same. It's bloody ridiculous. Flamer/Zerk only require damage, Sharp can just pwn clots in Clots Only, Support needs to weld some of the massive amount of doors in the game, and medic can get at least 1k HP easy on harder difficulties as long as they stay on top of the game. As for Commandos? They are stuck hunting some of the rarest zombies in the game. No love for us man.

I also agree it is a bit unfair. Seeing as I got a level 5 support and did use mutators once in awhile when I had no one to play with it only seems fair to add the stalkers only mutator to white list.

I also hope they will support custom models to a certain extent eventually as well.

I think you guys are missing the point. Commandos are supposed to be able to pick out stalkers easier because they have an attribute that allows them to see them uncloaked from a certain distance. They want you to take advantage of this and concentrate on killing stalkers when you spot them. Using a stalkers-only mutator would defeat the point of this. The amount you have to kill seems too high though. It'd be far more fair if no mutators were white-listed, that way you couldn't grind with other perks.

You could always make a map where all the spawn points can only spawn stalkers as I'm pretty sure maps don't have to be white-listed.

Darkcoder, i'm a "noob" mapper but not even a few of my friends could get stalkers only to spawn.

Instead we replaced the zombievolume with actor spawns ;)

200 stalkers on the map in a lovely thing i call a shooting gallery.

Then i've got 4 patriarches sitting in a box with over 10 billion health. oh and they dont hit/shoot/move either.

Would you kindly post your map? I know of a lot of people who would really enjoy it, including myself.
