Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster.

One thing I've always wondered, is it possible to modify what enemies, equipment, and dropships the AI uses in single player mode? I have long looked for a file that describes what to spawn but have done so unsuccessfully, and I've borked the game at least a half dozen times thinking I finally found it only to find I didn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only way to successfully change the weapons and actors enemies use is to replace the Base.rte code with said actors and weapons, then rename them to Green Clone, AK-47, etc.

That's a lot dirtier than I was hoping. Thank you for the information, though. Dirty as it may be, it'd still work.

Are the actual lists that the computer spawns in some of the non-editable files, then?

Yeah, the .exe limits what it loads to the various official names.

Some people used "Hex Editors" to change said names, but, that's frowned upon by most people.
