Sorry to sound so stupid guys but i can't get the Crobos to work as enemies. I overwrote the activities.ini and index.ini in base.rte with the ones in the Crobo folder and it comes up with:

Abortion in file .\System\Reader.cpp, line 493 because:

Referring to an instance ('rubber') to copy from that hasn't been defined! in Crobotech.rte/effects/Rising.ini at line 11!

the last frame has been dumped to 'abortscreen.bmp'

I saw the posts above about changing the activities.ini but it just confused me :S. I'm sure its something stupid i've done wrong can anyone help?

Crobos come with their own activities.
Comment Base.rte/Activities.ini

Like this.

Thanks for that i got it working

Nice, no amazing Mod!!!
I LOVE THE TELEPOD!

Awesome!

I remember this from waaay back!

Hey, guys.

I'm working on the activities file to have Old Vs. New CRobos, and I'm having a bit of trouble. Everything's great until I get to a line that has a space in the name of the .ini file. Anyone know how to bypass this?

No idea other than these //
but when you're done care to post it?

Well, I completed the Activities file last night, and let me say now that the Crobos are a very formidable enemy, especially if you follow the little ground rules I set up(All (newer) Crobotech actors, any weapons allowed) as your troops. The Activities file has a variety of different spawns, and as a habit I've set the gold to one and a half million oz, but that's easily changed.

When fighting the Crobos, for the sake of the scenario we'll say that the units are being used by a splinter cell of the army you're controlling, and they broke off before the current gen of Crobos were contracted by your army. They may have outdated tech, but they still caused me to get a feeling I'd never had with a game of CC until now: panic. They really chewed up my normally impenetrable defenses, and that shocked me. I actually lost a skirmish for the first time that wasn't on purpose.

I know what you mean. I long time ago, I made the old crobos into enemies. I had to take the big guys out becuse my average weapons wouldn't even dent them.

As the older CRobos went along they got more and more powerful (E.G New Crobo = More power), so what they now consider average troops may be extremely powerful compared to the newer, much more balanced versions.

I've messed with the code so that the crobos can walk through eachother now and as a side effect I've found that it's now pretty safe for several crobos to spawn from a single telepod, so the activities in the next version will send whole squads of weaker crobos at you.

Edit: oops, too many actors causes very odd things to happen. My bunker had about 20-30 crobos swarming all over it and when my only defender fired his laser he spontaneously exploded.

YAY HARD GAME

I'm feeling a bit happy and hyper right now. Please excuse me while I scream into a microphone.

See: Kloveska Activities on Death difficulty.

Capnbubs, I hope you approve of my little backstory for that activities file.

I know the crobos are a bit of a sensitive thing to write about.
