Is it possible to make a mod that makes it so the pc in skirmish only uses human actors rather then robots or dummies?
The people are just more fun to shot
anyone willing to make/ already made/ know if its possible?

You don't need a mod. Open up Base.rte. Open Activities.ini (You might want to make a backup copy of Activities.ini). Replace all other instancenames (Dummy, Robot 2, etc) with 'Soldier Heavy' and 'Soldier Light' (without the quotes). Check here for a lot more on the subject: http://www.datarealms.com/wiki/index.php/Activities.ini. |

Ummm... What? The instance name is what the thing is actually called. AHuman is a class name. Robots, dummies, clones, soldiers, are all AHumans. |

if its not obvious I've got little to no modding or program editing experience (what I have is from old homeworld mods) if someone could post an example or an edited activities.ini or whatever it is that has to be changed I'd be grateful. I pretty much suck at this

AHuman is a class name. It refers to two legged, two armed bipedal actors, including Soldiers, Robots, Skeletons, and Dummies. It's the line after that that matter. AddAttackerSpawn = ACDropShip CopyOf = Drop Ship MK1 AddInventory = AHuman CopyOf = Soldier Heavy AddInventory = HDFirearm CopyOf = SMG Just copy and paste that, duplicate the tabbing, and change the weapons to make your own Activities. You might want to back up the original before changing anything. |

Hmm ... That looks like the DSTech Activities.ini ... Is the Activities.ini you are editing located in base.rte or DSTech.rte? If you are editing the DSTech Activities.ini, then: 1) Go to base.rte. 2) Open Index.ini. 3) Make sure the Activities line looks like this: Code: // IncludeFile = Base.rte/Activities.ini If you are editing the Base.rte Activities.ini, then: (Repeat steps 1 & 2) 3) Make sure the Activities line looks like this: Code: IncludeFile = Base.rte/Activities.ini 4) Go to DSTech.rte. 5) Open Index.ini. 6) Make sure the Activities line looks like this: Code: IncludeFile = DSTech.rte/Activities.ini Hope that solves your problem.

do you have any other mods? because mods that load their own activities load over base.rte. make sure you are editing the activities.ini in base.rte, then remove the "." in all other mods, so you end up with dstechrte and darkstormrte and whatever else, then try again. if it loads and you are shooting at only coalition troopers, success! post here again and we'll help you get rid of whats causing the problem. if youre fighting dummies, its likely youve edited the wrong one. |
