Every time I try to boot CC, I'm getting an error that looks something along the lines of this:

" Abortion in file.\System\Reader.cpp, line 534, because:

Referring to an instance ('Green Clone FG Arm') to copy from that hasn't been
defined! in MDCHQ.rte/Actors/Clones/Clones.ini at line 176! "

Line 176? In that index? Looks something like this.

AddActor = Arm
PresetName = Green Clone FG Arm
Mass = 5
HitsMOs = 0
GetsHitByMOs = 1
SpriteFile = ContentFile
FilePath = Base.rte/Actors/Clones/Arm.bmp
FrameCount = 5
SpriteOffset = Vector
X = -4
Y = -3
EntryWound = AEmitter
CopyOf = Wound Flesh Entry
ExitWound = AEmitter
CopyOf = Wound Flesh Exit


Would someone please explain to me why it's telling me the clone actor's script is suddenly missing an arm, when it clearly states right there the 'CopyOf'?
This all started after I installed B24, the Indie update. What ♥♥♥♥ is this?

It's because in an earlier version of Cortex Command there were clones in the game, they are still there now but are commented so they don't load. You will need to modify a file to get them to load.

Open up your Cortex Command folder and go to the base.rte folder, open up Actors.ini in any text editor and scroll to the bottom and delete the // infront of IncludeFile = Base.rte/Actors/Clones/Clones.ini.

That will uncomment them and they will load when you run the game.

Thanks. Saved me a whole lot of backtracking in scripts just now, you did.

EDIT: I still can't find the script you're talking about. They use the "Add" command instead of Include, and the only lines that have a // next to them are gibs. Would that mean I need to just delete the spacing that Notepad will give them? Or do I just look at it through another program?

Just scroll down to the very bottom of the Actors.ini file Helifreak mention, there is a section there with the include statment described. Looks like:

just remove the // in front of //InculdeFile and you should be good to go.

That can't be right, because all I see at the end of this .ini file is this:


Spread = 2.25
MaxVelocity = 10
MinVelocity = 1
AddGib = Gib
GibParticle = MOSRotating
CopyOf = Gib Flesh Small C
Count = 1
Spread = 2.25
MaxVelocity = 10
MinVelocity = 1
GibImpulseLimit = 1800
GibWoundLimit = 8


Is the file just incomplete or am I reading the wrong section? Because I don't see those files anywhere.

EDIT: Never mind, I found the file. Thanks for the help.

You're looking at base.rte/actors/clones/clones.ini you should be looking at base.rte/actors.ini.

Edit: Ha, I'm far too slow.

I'm getting the error still, even though I got rid of the commenting for that file. Is there something i'm not getting here?

Dag nabbit. Now it's a terrain file that's saying it's not defined, and when I look in the .ini file for scenes it's not even commenting any file in the name the error is telling me.

Note the terrain file, because there seems to be some terrain from B23 didn't get ported to B24. Stuff like Richlands (which get named Rich Lands) just need to be renamed, but for other stuff (Pillars of Doom, etc) manually commenting them out would be the burden.

Yeah, you're right, it IS Richlands that gave me trouble. It, and a whole bunch of map mods that i'd downloaded. Scene mods had also given me trouble, like the Uncharted(sp) Lands mission, where it enables Risk-like campaigning. Build 24 must've messed up B23 original mods, too, because i'm having trouble with some of Whitty's.

If I remember correctly, MDC has the green clone references as well.

Oh wow MDCHQ that thing is waaaaay old.
Dump it, it's not quite built for modern CC.

Get this instead
