Modding

Modding on Cortex Command is done with lua files (.Lua) and configuration files (.Ini).

How to install mods.
There are two ways to activate installed mods, with a mod manager, and without. It's much easier to use the manager.



Installing with the mod manager.

 * 1) To start, you will need the mod manager and place it in your Cortex Command directory (usually "C:/program files/data realms/cortex command/"
 * 2) Download the mod that you want, in this tutorial we will demonstrate with a popular mod called Unitec (credits to Gotcha! for the mod), the mods usually come in .rar files so you will need a program like winrar to open them.
 * 3) Inside the .rar you should find a folder with a suffix .rte, or multiple if it is a large mod or a pack of mods.
 * 4) Navigate to the main directory of Cortex Command and extract the folder stated previously into it like the mod manager.
 * 5) You're done! If you ever want to disable a mod because it isn't compatible with another one, you don't like it or any other reason, you can open up the mod manager, find the name of the folder and untick the box next it it. It's normal if the .rte suffix gets removed once you disable it.
