Remove ship

from Sins Forums

Hi,

 

I desperately need your help! Recently, I bought Rebellion and retrieved the data files for version 1.8. The game is Steam-connected.


Now, I would like to remove one ship from the game. It is the repair robot cruiser for the TEC, utility1 I guess. I have no idea how to do it!

When I edit for instance the maximum number of spacemines in an .entity file, everything is fine and works perfect! When I remove the .entity file for the utility1 the mod does not start at all. I can open the game go to the mod activate section and as soon as I try to active the mod the game crashes.

 

What am I doing wrong!?

Is there any other possiblity to remove the ship from the game, even if it was much more work?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Regards,

Xel

If you simply edit the playertech.entity file in the GameInfo folder, so that the ship you want to exclude is not included in the ship list then it shouldn't appear in the game.

There's no need to actually delete the entity file that refers to the ship.

The game will crash if you remove a unique roletype such as that support roletype and the hardcoded AI looks for it.

There are two support cruisers, so that shouldn't be an issue?

You mean the best TEC ship in the game? o_O

There is a statcounttype for utility0 and utility1. I certainly expect it to become unstable without one of them.
