   |   Making the AI use Darkstorm troopsSo I've gotten bored abusing the dummies and coalition and was wondering how I can add in Darkstorm troops to the AI's arsenal.
 Before you write in do x then y with a hint of z I should add, I've got no idea what so ever as to how one does any editing in this game.
 
 which files do I create and where, what do I type into them, etc...

   |   Re: Making the AI use Darkstorm troopsim assuming you know where the base CC directory is. in missions.rte, open index.ini and comment out (type // in front of) the line ending in Skirmish Activities.ini now, copy skirmish activities into darkstorm.rte (make sure you copy it, so you have a backup), and then open it. now, go here  and read up on how to create activities, cause i am not explaining that ♥♥♥♥. except i just edited the hell out of that wiki cause it was out of date and in the wrong order (noone uses base.rte edits anymore <_<) damnit roon!

   |   Re: Making the AI use Darkstorm troopsI've gotten it semi-working, basically it spawns the first Attacker Spawn soldier into the 2nd Attacker Spawn Dropship. Anything inside of ( ) are not actually in the activities.ini file Code:    AddAttackerSpawn = ACDropShipCopyOf = Darkstorm/D82 Raiju (Drop pod, which workedfine on its own, not working in this group)
 AddInventory = AHuman
 CopyOf = Darkstorm/Shogun Tengu
 AddInventory = HDFirearm
 CopyOf = Darkstorm/D37 Squad Automatic Weapon
 AddInventory = HDFirearm
 CopyOf = Darkstorm/D113 Force Digger
 
 
 AddAttackerSpawn = ACDropShip
 CopyOf = Darkstorm/D89 Kimon (dropship, only thing that spawns in this group)
 AddInventory = AHuman
 CopyOf = Darkstorm/Shogun Tengu
 AddInventory = HDFirearm
 CopyOf = Darkstorm/D121 Coil Gun
 AddInventory = HDFirearm
 CopyOf = Darkstorm/D113 Force Digger

   |   Re: Making the AI use Darkstorm troops/me smacks head into wall Thanks for pointing that out Geti, odd thing is I copied that exactly from the actual file, so in the mod the creator (forgot his name) has: Code: AddActor = ACDropShipPresetName = D82 Raiju
I edited it to ACRocket but the game crashed on attempting to load it

   |   Re: Making the AI use Darkstorm troopsoh. well in that case it is an acdropship. my mistake; it used to be an acrocket.i cant help if thats the case, if it just straight up isnt working try deleting the file and remaking it, without copy-pasting from the "broken" file, for some reason CC inis get screwed up on the odd occasion. some unicode whatever.
 if one spawns and not the other, delete the unworking block and try retyping everything. also, the darkstorm/ prefix on everything isnt necessary, because you are copying from darkstorm.rte anyway.

   |   Re: Making the AI use Darkstorm troopsthe Darkstorm/ part me not be needed but it's not hurting leaving it in, plus I plan to have the Dummy, Coalition & Ronin armies added in too.
 I'm gonna go for the lazy/safer way of just using actual dropships/rockets and no pods, cheers for the help all...now to fight the hordes of Darkstorm/Dummies/Coalition/Ronin
