Post B24 Skirmish mod: 100,000 oz, no gameover, no CPU digging
Hi guys! Just got this game through the Humble Bundle and I love it!
However, after going through your mods, I noticed there's few B24 mods. Worse yet, no info on how to edit the funds for Skirmish in B24. So!
I have no Lua programming knowledge, but I do know how to juryrig (as you'll notice if you peruse this lua script, jegus!)
This mod is just stuff I wanted to change for myself. Thought I'd share though, maybe it'll be of use to you!

What this (psuedo) mod does:

* On every difficulty, gives you 100,000 quid to work with
* If your brain eats it, an empty dropship will be assigned as a 'brain' and descend and hover. The CPU will switch objective and actively attack this new target. Once destroyed, a new one will take it's place, making the game essentially unending.
* The CPU team gets no digging tool. Instead they get a secondary weapon (I hated them digging in everything, haha)
* On the hardest difficulty, the CPU spawns 10 times faster (other difficulties are as is)

How to use:
* Find Cortex Command\Base.rte\Scenes\Scripts\SkirmishDefense.lua, and rename to something else so it's there if you want to return Skirmish mode to normal.
* Place the .lua script (which is in the .zip file you can get at the bottom of this post) in that same directory, "Cortex Command\Base.rte\Scenes\Scripts"
* Remember, hardest difficulty will be 10x the spawn rate. Use the second hardest difficulty if that's not something you'd like.
* Enjoy!

Not really, since it's a Base.rte mod.

Before they get you, just want to point out that every mode has to be in .rte form, not very hard to do, but you still need to do it.


Aww... I realized something like that would be pretty beneficial. Hrm... I honestly have no clue how to set up such a thing I'm afraid! But thanks for letting me know!

edit: whoops, glad it's not a requirement at least, aha. Though, it still stands, it would help a lot. Don't want to go the whole nine yards though unless it's a substantial mod, like, y'know, adding a kill counter or something. Hm...

Just copypaste the activity code from base activities ini to a new index.ini, tab right once and slap on DataModule at the beginning.
Also change the path.

So its an awesome idea and a cool mod, however it probably would have been a better idea to just name it Skirmish2 or something that way you dont have to edit gamefiles in order to change it from regular skirmish to this. My friend an i regularly play against each other so i wouldnt be bothered installing this mod simply because i dont want to have to edit my game files everytime we want to play against each other.

This mod is extremely out of date, it's two versions behind. I don't know of any mods that fulfill it's function as of this moment either, and I stopped work on it well. Almost a year ago. xD Sorry!

Just installed it and I'm building my bunker in it now. Seems to be working fine.

I am sorry for the bump, but I would REALLY like this mod restored!

I feel really stupid now... I didn't remember which mod this was. I meant to post in the B24 spectator mode thread, but I forgot the title, and thought this was that mod. Although this mod works just fine.
