I was playing Cortex Command the other day, and rather miffed that none of the default scenes offered much in the way of challenging, yet focused, battle. ( :sad: I'm looking at you, Survival Modes.) To remedy this problem, I've changed Zombie Cave to be just the same, except instead of a few slow zombies with bombs, you have lots of fast-moving dummies with SMGs. This preserves the original feel of you VS lots of weaker poorly-armed enemies, while adding in an element of gunplay. While pistols could have been used, smgs are a more serious threat. I have not changed the final landing, since... well, to be honest, I've only managed to defeat the first spawn tank. :(

I feel this would be a good time to mention MehMan's excellent take on Zombie Cave, which can be downloaded at download/file.php?id=37241 It features a much greater range in difficulty, with 'cake' being default zombie cave and 'impossible' being heavies with machine guns. :)

Here is where I died. Note the size of the shell pile.

This is a partial replacement for the base.rte and missions.rte folders. It'll probably tweak 'keepie uppie' and 'survival' as well (much improved, imho), and may grant better jetpacks. Everything is kind of mashed together, and I have no idea how to separate the gravy from the potatoes. (Besides, the jetpack is important for the cave. You're going to need a big gun. :grin: )

Have fun, and let me know if it doesn't work.

You might want to put it in it's own .rte.
Nice idea btw, I remember doing it myself, except zombies with pistols.

Some time ago I've made this kind of modification too but never released it, it has its own rte and several difficulty levels:

cake: zombies with blue bombs
easy: zombies with SMGs
medium: coalition lights with SMGs
hard: coalition heavies with SMGs
nuts: coalition heavies with SMGs shooting explosive bullets
nuts!: browncoat heavies with heavy impacter pistols

The last two difficulty settings are really hard but also very fun.

If you want to use it as a template for your own modification here it is:

Never try to release a mod that requires you to edit base.rte. It's just not a good idea. Make it a separate mission in it's own .rte folder.

Mehman: Better than mine. :)
I'd have preferred to release Zombie Cave Mod as it's own .rte, but I can't figure out how to change the location of the files and still have CC start. :-(

Here I made an easily customizable version of this mission:
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=24088
Just follow the instructions to modify it.

Ok so I'm going to need another copy of my Base/Missions rte.

Anyone want to lend me some copies?
