In the latest version, I've been working at a mod, but having to restart CC every time I tweak it takes a good bit of time as it loads through all the .rte's and such.
I only need the tutorial mission for testing, so what all can I delete from my folder to make it start up faster?
I could go about finding out the hard way but I figure someone here might have done this already and know what to do.

All your mods except for the one you are testing? lol

ಠ_ಠ

I mean base files, like coalition.rte and such.

Hm. I haven't tried this, but you should be able to remove everything except Base.rte if you create a sanitized activities file.

stripped ini files. No activities and one actor

Works for the most part, but I need to use the full base.rte cause I reference some of the basic bits :l

Well, that's not my problem. If you want a custom stripped CC then make it yourself

copy in the old base.rte from the backup you made or other folder your old CC is in.
