Post subject:  Removing a couple of things.
So, I just got Cortex Command again after a gargantuan break, and as I just like to mess around with my own bases and characters WITHOUT the enemy, how can I remove the enemy spawn in B26? I'd like to get rid of it for like everything. Other thing I don't like is the limited drop zone, how could I revert it back to what it used to be? No limits = more fun.

So, nobody is going to help me with this? I tried searching but I only found stuff for older versions and I couldn't get them to work either.

To have nothing drop in you'll have to create/edit a (new) lua activity file.
They're in base.rte/activities. (Make sure to make backups!)

The limited drop zones: You'll have to edit the map you're using by opening it in the area editor. Then you'll need to create an area called "LZ Team 1" and have it stretch all over the map.

open base.rte/activities/skirmishdefence.lua

on line 86 it says
" self.BaseSpawnTime = 6000"
make that
" self.BaseSpawnTime = 600000000"
and no enemies should spawn when you chose cake difficulty on skirmish, assuming you don't leave CC running for an entire week.

ninja'd, oh well

Thank you for the answers, I shall report back here and ask more if needed.

EDIT: Ok so I managed to stop the AI from spawning but I couldn't remove the limited dropzone. I edited the map and made a huge Team 1 LZ but I can still only drop ♥♥♥♥ into a small area around my brain. How could I remove that?

EDIT2: Well I found this page viewtopic.php?f=4&t=25454 but it isn't of any use for me, since I cannot create new maps, or even edit the existing ones, if I got one of the answers right.

Sorry, completely forgot about the brain dropzone. Yeah, currently you can only drop something in the vicinity of your brain (unless you know how to lua your way out of this limitation).

Put this code
Code:
  self:SetLandingZone(Vector(SceneMan.Scene.Width, 0), Activity.PLAYER_1);
  self:SetBrainLZWidth(Activity.PLAYER_1, SceneMan.Scene.Width);
  self:SetBrainLZWidth(Activity.PLAYER_2, SceneMan.Scene.Width);
  self:SetBrainLZWidth(Activity.PLAYER_3, SceneMan.Scene.Width);
  self:SetBrainLZWidth(Activity.PLAYER_4, SceneMan.Scene.Width);


After line 126 in the Base.rte\Activities\SkirmishDefense.lua, so it looks like this

Code:
        self:SetTeamFunds(1000, Activity.TEAM_4);
        self.BaseSpawnTime = 3500;
        self.RandomSpawnTime = 4000;
    end

    self.StartTimer = Timer();
    self.TimeLeft = self.BaseSpawnTime + math.random(self.RandomSpawnTime);

    self:SetLandingZone(Vector(SceneMan.Scene.Width, 0), Activity.PLAYER_1);
    self:SetBrainLZWidth(Activity.PLAYER_1, SceneMan.Scene.Width);
    self:SetBrainLZWidth(Activity.PLAYER_2, SceneMan.Scene.Width);
    self:SetBrainLZWidth(Activity.PLAYER_3, SceneMan.Scene.Width);
    self:SetBrainLZWidth(Activity.PLAYER_4, SceneMan.Scene.Width);
end


Hope that helps

Either that didn't do the trick or then I messed it up :-(

It worked! I just had an extra "end" at the end. Thanks!
