| Post subject: | Enabling custom AI (commonly asked, sorry) |
As the title suggests, how do I enable custom AI to fight in skirmish, such as AAL or Unitec? I am sure it has something to do with replacing the activities with the custom activities, but I sure as hell have no idea besides that. (side note, I want to fight unitec) Help would be appreciated.

Get the Cortex Command Mod Manager. This process becomes a lot easier. http://forums.datarealms.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=17454 |

I don't want a mod manager, and i've tried that. I asked HOW to do it, reading that thread didn't help me. |

Alpha, YOU read the thread. He DOES want to do it manually. That said, Petethegoat's's link will cover it. The one for doing it without changing index.ini is probably the one you want. |

What? Um, okay, I thought he wanted to fight against Unitec in skirmish mode. I must be mistaken? |

He does, and he said that he doesn't want a program that does it for him, he wants to know how to do it himself. |

Mostly half and half. Honestly, I think the mod manager is not simple because I can't figure out how to ****ing add new presets for mods in enhanced skirmish. It just irritates me, so I gave up on using the blasted thing. I would like some assistance with the manager to do it, but I just thought doing it manually will just make it easier for me. Maybe i'm just one of those people who will never really understand technology. |

I can't understand how use the mod manager, well, the skirmish editor part. I can see the vanilla activities, but then there is no option to add any sort of new units from mods. I added the MMITEMS.txt but nothing comes up in that side-menu thing. |

That side panel on the right is just your previously saved activities. Right-click in the main panel, go add new whatever, then it should show up in the dialog unless you have an error in your MMItems file. |

The section where you can see the current skirmish wave, it's probably empty on yours. If you do it right, you'll end up with this.  EDIT: Also, there are premade MMItems files in the mod manager thread. Here's the link for the Unitec one. http://snea.thereviewpalace.com/files/MMItems_UniTec.rar |

I right click on wall waves, and it says Add To Duplicate Delete Random Skirmish as a side note, if I click add to the thing crashes. I'm missing something here, I know I wouldn't do duplicate/delete, and random skirmish gives me no options to load any mods, and add to crashes the mod manager. |
