In terms of something like, new units that you've downloaded?

Idunno, that tutorial doesn't seem very helpful. It seems a more of a fish giving tutorial then a teaching you how to fish tutorial.

Then write a better one yourself.

Honestly, I don't see what's so HARD about it. I went over the "tough" part in detail, and left the rest up to your own understanding.

In other words: you hurt Grif's feeling, real bad.

Well, the first part in the tutorial I get confused at is when it references Grif.rte when I don't have it, does this require a download somewhere that isn't shown?

EDIT: also, alot of the problem with the tutorial is theres alot of 'how' but pretty much no 'why'

It seems a more of a fish giving tutorial then a teaching you how to fish tutorial.[/quote]

What do you mean? Giving you a fish would be you giving us your folders and we make it for you. That is a good tutorial. A tutorial shouldn't do it all for you. It should teach you how to do it.

BUT if you want, I'll do step by step instructions for you.

1. Open your mod folder.
2. Open Index.ini
3. Copy ALL of it from DataModule down to the bottom.
4. Unless you want two copies of the mod, put // at the beginning of each line.
5. Close Index.ini
6. Go back to the main CC folder.
7. Open Base.rte.
8. Open Index.ini.
9. Go to the second to last line, right above Activities.ini
10. Paste the thing in there.
11. Close Index.ini.
12. Open Activities.ini.
13. Go to the bottom of the file.
14. Go up a bit until you see AddActivity = GABaseDefense.
15. Here's the harder part.

Code:
16. Find this piece of code:
   AddAttackerSpawn = ACDropShip
      CopyOf = Drop Ship MK1
      AddInventory = AHuman
         CopyOf = Soldier Light
         AddInventory = HDFirearm
            CopyOf = SMG
         AddInventory = HDFirearm
            CopyOf = Pistol
         AddInventory = HeldDevice
            CopyOf = Riot Shield
         AddInventory = HDFirearm
            CopyOf = Medium Digger


Here's a list of what each thing does
1. AddAttackerSpawn = ACDropShip
This says what type of thing that holds the enemies.

2. CopyOf = Drop Ship MK1
This says the name of what holds the enemies.

3. AddInventory = AHuman
This says the type of thing enemy.

4. CopyOf = Soldier Light
This says the name of the enemy.

5. AddInventory = HDFirearm
This is the type of thing the enemy holds.

6. CopyOf = SMG
This says the name of what the soldier is holding.

For example, if you put your activities as:
Code:
   AddAttackerSpawn = AHuman
      CopyOf = KMF Officer
      AddInventory = HDFirearm
         CopyOf = KMF Silencer

Then KMF Officers would drop from the sky, carrying KMF Silencers.

OIC, I got confused at the going into the mod folder part, it makes more sense now. Thanks.

It's giving me an error at index ini at line 9 (where I started to paste the file paths)

EDIT: Nevermind, as a quick fix to kill all the / I replaced ALL slashes with nothing... including the filepaths, d'oh!

On the forum, since if a person is too lazy to figure out themselves, they certainly won't go to the wiki.
Sixteen's one was good, but I'm thinking something stickier.

I MADE that on the forums. It's only on the Wiki because TrouserDemon was proactive, and the mods are apathetic.
