I've noticed this pops up a lot so yeah.

How to use Mods in Scene Editor
______________________________________________________________________________
So you want to set up a base with custom modules and objects.
Have a ready base for a quick skirmish?
Always wanted to do it but didn't know how or were afraid to post a thread?
Well fear no more, i give you the info.
______________________________________________________________________________
Here we go!

Note: This Method causes the mods to be under the directory of Base.rte

First open your CC folder and find Base.rte [it should be somewhere at the top]
After you open Base.rte, find the file called: Index.ini, open it with notepad.
You will see this:


All you have to do is this:
1. To move entire faction/mod into the scene editor easily, move the folder into Base.rte.
2. After doing so go into the Index.ini of Base.rte and add the following line:



3. Then remove the 'DataModule', Author, Icon File and ModuleName lines in the mods index.ini.


to



And your done!

Alternative Way
______________________________________________________________________________
If your a bit more experienced, you can just add the ini for a specific gun.
Just use this path: Mod.rte/Devices/[weapon folder]/Weapon.ini

For example:

TROUBLESHOOTING
- Since base.rte is usually defined first, you will commonly see this error: [device name].ini, could not find property [property], Property was not defined.
- To fix that, you must add the main index.ini, for example, the reason something may not work is that; the effects.ini may not have been defined so darkstorm's guns cannot use any of the effects. When they are searched it will not find the property unless, you included the effects.ini and so-on.
- Also, if your just including all the index.inis, remember to either comment out or erase 'DataModule' off the top.
- Remember to make a back-up.
- If you are still having problems please post it here.

I've found it sometimes works better to post the entire index.ini contents instead of just a Includefile reference. Then go comment out the index file.

course it takes a TON longer too

Hey i tried to do this on my friends game but.... this error poped-up:

Abortion in file.\System\reader.cpp, line 531, because:
Property name wasn't followed by a value in BunkerEnhanced.rte/index.ini at line 1!

And well i guess i need to paste the copy of how his base.rte/index.ini is:

so hes index.ini looks something like this:

DataModule
ModuleName = Base Set
IncludeFile = Base.rte/Materials.ini
IncludeFile = Base.rte/Sounds.ini
IncludeFile = Base.rte/Effects.ini
IncludeFile = Base.rte/Ammo.ini
IncludeFile = Base.rte/Devices.ini
IncludeFile = Base.rte/Actors.ini
IncludeFile = Base.rte/Scenes.ini
IncludeFile = Base.rte/Activities.ini
IncludeFile = BunkerEnhanced.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = BunkerEn-RSet.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = cgMapBridge.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Arrow.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = BarbedWire.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Blast Door.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = CombatModules.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Doors.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = DStech.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = DuhModulePack.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = EBunkerModules.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Extra BunkerModules.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Extramodules.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Gauntlet.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Grif Bunker.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = LuaModules.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Maproom.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = MAPS OBJECTS.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = MDC.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Objects.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Passive Defenses full.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Prefabs.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = RocketHangar.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Thanatos Modules.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = TroubledWaters.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = UniTec.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = VentilationSet.rte/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Windows.rte/Index.ini
Please I ask for help since i told my friend i would allow him to use all of his mod's in the Bunker Editor and we could play together since i havent buy the game... because of my lack in funds... soo please can you kindly help me?

I'm assuming it's exactly what it says on the tin - something in BunkerEnhanced.rte in the Index.ini is wrong. Mine looks like this:

Thanks seraph well it happens the index.ini was wrong... thx friends CC for ever!

Well.. I got this error:
Abortion in file .\system\reader.cpp, line 531 because
Property name wasn't followed by a value in MDC.rte\index.ini at line 1!

And my base.rte/index.ini file:

Post your MDC.rte/Index.ini first line.

I don't see anything weird in it..
And btw.. that same error comes everytime, no matter which mod I'm trying to add into base.rte/index.ini.

since your using includefile, you cannot have the index.ini say Datamodule.

As you might see I'm bit puzzled what comes into coding like this
So is there any way to get around this problem?

And thanks for super quick replies!

Remove the line 'Datamodule' from the top of MDC.rte/Index.ini or put '//' in front of it (minus the apostrophes).
Also, you'll be wanting to take all of the tabs out of the Base.rte/Index.ini.

Thanks for replies!

oops
