To install a mod: extract the .rte folder (usually in a .zip/rar file) to you cortex command directory (normally C:/program files/Data realms/Cortex command/), and start up cortex command. I'm pretty sure there's a help topic for this kind of thing, isn't there?


I was actually intelligent and figured it out myself! 8)
Thanks anyway.

PS: I just bought the game today actually.

Anyways, here is how to make the zombies 09 activities run.

Go into your Missions.rte directory, and open the index.ini.
Put a double slash on the line, before the phrase that contains, the phrase skirmishactivities.ini.

Here is a warning, whatever you do, do not get near a dead zombie until it's body becomes static, I've had a few encounters of getting mauled by a headless zombie before it settled.

It would help to have a diagram of what your trying to say cause most people coming here not knowing what to do probably wont understand what you just said.

Welcome to the forums Toby, and be aware that this mod does cause your game to crash sometimes, read through the thread if you haven't done so already before posting anything about crashes

Currently, all my time is taken up by undead contest entry creation and exam revision <_< so not really.
I did have some ideas for the backstory to the resistance, and came up with some pretty bleak scenes in the trenches (trenchies addicted to various substances, beating down a lost zombie with a shovel whilst tripping, some of them being as young as 15, etc) and i've designed a few zombies for the contest that will likely get transfered to this mod once the contest is over, but i cant really discuss them openly on the forums because of the whole anonymity clause..

For extra bleakness:
-The narcotic substance is green gas. Get the dosage wrong and the entire colony's screwed. Also, probably bad for your lungs. Really bad.
-Trenches are just like real world war trenches, except with more rotting, and the fact that rotting corpses may become your enemy.
-Why stop at 15? Desperate area give infants growth hormones just to get a soldier on the line as quick as possible. Permanent mental stunting implied.

So anyway, perhaps you could give zombies a small chance to only be pretending to be dead when bled to death:
-The body doesn't settle.
-When an enemy next gets within striking range after a certain time limit it respawns, deleting the body (Lifetime = 0? I don't know Lua, sir).
-Attempting to move will automatically make it respawn after a certain time limit.
-Shooting the body after the time limit automatically makes it respawn
Just for that extra paranoia fuel.
I don't put these into my other posts. I swear. Honest. Also, don't look behind you.
Though you might want to add a ultrasonic signature tool that adds a small 3 pixel wide glow to the SpriteOffset of Actors with Health < 0 for players to buy so they can avoid that. Ultrasonic signature to justify the times when it'll pick up actors that are just genuinely not settling. Alternatively the player can take some extra bullets after each kill to try and gib the body so that it won't get back up.

Its almost 12 here, so I'm about to go, but some responses:
-Green Gas being a Narcotic: Maybe, i suppose we're going to be having other gases too, and it would be available to soldiers quite easily (taken from mines, grenades, bodies, etc) however its meant to be infectious so i dont know. i was just picturing a trenchie doing a line before going into battle, and smoking being quite a large part of the trenchman culture.
-Growth Hormones and Stupid Chillun: Nah, the resistance really cant afford to send mentally ill equipped soldiers into battle, except in the case of the soldiers inside the tin can suit (they're meant to be on a mixture of stimulants and angry pills) so weirdly swollen stupid children wouldnt make much sense. i can see 14 happening, maybe 13 in the faster developing (unlikely due to poor diet) but anyone below that would barely be able to fire a PDC for the recoil, let alone any of the larger guns.
-Aftertouch Takedowns: Have you noticed that the zombies will still try and kill you if you're close to them and you blow off their head? I suppose i could go the step further and introduce re-life. Maybe.
