The fastest and easiest way to do this is with SneakyMax's CC Mod Manager.

To disable enemy spawn open the manager, hit 'File', then check the 'Enable Enhanced Skirmish' box, hit 'OK' and close the manager.

To enable enemy spawn back, just uncheck the box.

Removing AI Spawn from Skirmish. ________________________________________________________________ Ever had to test a gun but had enemies come and screw up your attempts? Ever just wanted a sandbox? Ya, sometimes playing without the AI may seem Necessary. ________________________________________________________________ So heres how to do it: First find the Skirmish Activities.ini file in the missions.rte In here: c:/Program Files/Cortex Command/Missions.rte After, copy Skirmish Activities.ini and paste it, rename it something else; such as Skirmish Activities_BackUp.ini Then open the file in notepad. You should see this: Code: AddActivity = GABaseDefense PresetName = Skirmish Defense SceneName = Grasslands TeamCount = 2 PlayerCount = 1 TeamOfPlayer1 = 0 TeamOfPlayer2 = 1 FundsOfTeam1 = 900000 FundsOfTeam2 = 900000 CPUTeam = 1 Difficulty = 3 SpawnIntervalEasiest = 20000 SpawnIntervalHardest = 8000 //Ronin AddAttackerSpawn = ACDropShip CopyOf = Drop Ship MK1 AddInventory = AHuman CopyOf = Ronin/Sandra AddInventory = HDFirearm CopyOf = Ronin/Bazooka AddInventory = HDFirearm CopyOf = Ronin/Glock AddInventory = HeldDevice CopyOf = Ronin/Riot Shield AddInventory = HDFirearm CopyOf = Ronin/Medium Digger AddInventory = AHuman CopyOf = Ronin/Gordon AddInventory = HDFirearm etc.......... Then delete everything under the spawn intervals. Code: AddActivity = GABaseDefense PresetName = Skirmish Defense SceneName = Grasslands TeamCount = 2 PlayerCount = 1 TeamOfPlayer1 = 0 TeamOfPlayer2 = 1 FundsOfTeam1 = 900000 FundsOfTeam2 = 900000 CPUTeam = 1 Difficulty = 3 SpawnIntervalEasiest = 20000 SpawnIntervalHardest = 8000 snip ________________________________________________________________ Alternative Way: Add /* to behind the first add AttackSpawn and the last line.

Well after opening the interface, you can go on to just delete all the spawns. Steps: 1. Open Cortex Command Mod Manager 2. Click the Skirmish Waves tab 3. Right click a spawn to bring out the "Panel" menu. 4. Push delete 5. repeat process. ________________________________________________________________ Alternative Way 3 ________________________________________________________________ MaximDude wrote: The fastest and easiest way to do this is with SneakyMax's CC Mod Manager.

Thnks to MaximDude for faster way to do Alternative way 2. ________________________________________________________________ Well, if you don't like killing your own soldiers you can also do this: ________________________________________________________________ Code: AddActivity = GABaseDefense PresetName = Skirmish Defense SceneName = Grasslands TeamCount = 2 PlayerCount = 1 TeamOfPlayer1 = 0 TeamOfPlayer2 = 1 FundsOfTeam1 = 900000 FundsOfTeam2 = 900000 CPUTeam = 1 Difficulty = 3 SpawnIntervalEasiest = 20000 SpawnIntervalHardest = 8000 //Ronin AddAttackerSpawn = ACDropShip CopyOf = Drop Ship MK1 AddInventory = AHuman CopyOf = Ronin/Sandra yeah this basically makes Drop Ships with unarmed Sandras in it, feel free to change it to anything else. TROUBLESHOOTING - Make sure you didn't delete ANYTHING over the Spawn Intervals. - Make sure in the index.ini that its not commented out, in case the error is from a mod's Activities.ini - Make sure if your using windows Vista, to have your Copy of Cortex Command installed onto the desktop. Files cannot be edited in the program files. - If nothing works, delete the file and rename the backup in Skirmish Activities.ini - When using the Mod Manager/ Activities manager, it will comment out Skirmish Activities.ini and Mission Activities.ini, A good idea is to remove the // in front of it. - If worst comes to worst, Back up your mods and reinstall Cortex Command. - IF NONE OF THESE WORK, THEN, AND ONLY THEN, MAKE A THREAD ABOUT IT [or post in this thread], otherwise ill rage about it. Thanks for contributions: -411570N3, alternative way.

Would block commenting work instead? Try just putting a /* where you've put the snip and trying that. It's much more easily reversed. You could then put the unarmed Sandra blocks above the /*.

Woops, forgot about that. Ok ill add.

Post subject:	Re: [FAQ] No Enemy Spawn.
You don't actually need the second thing (*/). When it reaches the end of the .ini it will just move onto the next and automatically stop the comment.

You don't need it, but it's still better to have it syntactically. Relying on your parser to either A: automatically close comments or B: magically know to end comments is not the best way to approach any kind of programming, mild though CC's .ini files are. Shortcuts are one thing, bad syntax that could end up more confusing for an end user with no practical difference is another thing entirely.

Could someone please upload the index and the activities? I have no idea what I did, but somehow, nothing spawns... I mean, It's not uncommented ( or something).

hmm weird... It's still not working.

Yes, but doing so also turns off all campaign missions, and it doesn't work on some mods such as Unitec. I think he's fixing that though.

Post subject:	Re: [FAQ] No Enemy Spawn.
The easiest and simplest Way I've found is to check in all of your Vanilla (and some Mod) .rte folders and comment out the activities (via //) in the Index.ini's. Easy if you jsut want to test out your weapons. And just make a map of a simple bunker with an enemy actor already there means loading then placing. Simple and easy, plus it works too @Hyperkultra - the problem with Uni-tec is that it automatically has the Vanilla activities activated so even if you remove the default ones it'll still have the original actors. You'll have to comment it out for it not to load.

Post subject:	Re: [FAQ] No Enemy Spawn.
Erm... Not loading activities just causes a crash when you try to start skirmish.
