[MOD] Configurable mass-traffic and stardust 0.40

Post by chms » Sat, 21. Dec 13, 19:10

Current version: 0.40

Especially on low-end machines like mine "traffic" should be renamed to "terrific". :D

So based on "MoreReducedMasstraffic" by "enenra" I made a simple program to make mass-traffic more individual.

With this tool You can choose from 0 to 100% in this categories:
- civilian
- smugglers
- criminals
- police
- stations
- xenon stations
- stardust
- nebulas and debris toggle
New: police drones

100% is based on original values by Egosoft.

Of course (or unfortunately as I highly endorse enenra's mod) this mod is NOT compatible with "ReducedMasstraffic" and "MoreReducedMasstraffic" or others using
- jobs.xml
- stardust_library.xml
- region_definitions.xml

The tool can be found at http://www.nexusmods.com/xrebirth/mods/326/?

Changes:
Version 0.11
* Separated sliders for "civilian" and "smugglers"
* Added displays for values
* Added hotbuttons:
- -1
- +1
- 0%
- 25%
- 50%
- 75%
- 100%

Version 0.2
* Added slider for stardust
* Added button to reset to original
* Added button to discard changes
* Last saved values are stored
* (Hopefully) informative error-page if mod is misplaced
* Creates content.xml if missing (in right place)

Version 0.21
* Added installer
* On installation added option to create shortcut on desktop
* Added button to change XR-directory
* Removed error-page again (obsolete)

Version 0.30
* (experimentally) added checkboxes to disable
- nebulas
- debris
* config.exe disables itself after used for installation (ONLY the misplaced version)

Version 0.40
* added slider for police-drones
* added checkboxes to disable parts of mod for compatibility reasons
* Files not changing original values will not be written



@Moderators: Would You be so kind and move posts between (and including)
Sat. Dec,14 17:58 and Fri, Dec, 20 02:35 to this thread as my initial intention was not to hijack the other one (Times are GMT+1).
Thank You.

I have been using Enenra's mods since he put them out there. This kicks it all up a notch imho and makes things even more customizable should you choose.

Digging it so far thanks for the great mod.

Thanks for the mod. Love it, and the new addition with the police drones.

Also, which debris and nebulas do you disable, ie the ones in the super highways or in regular space?

It disables nebulas in space - as the "NoFog"-mod (I think by enenra) does.

But to be honest I haven't yet testet where the debris I removed can (not) be found.
When adding the option to remove fog in the corresponding xml I found entries for debris and removed them.
As I got no error entry in the debug-log I decided to integrate this in my mod but seperated fog and debris.
As I found out between 0.40 and 0.41 the coding for nebulas were incomplete.
So it's possible the option "debris" doesn't do anything visible - I will have to invesigate.

Starting with 0.40 You can decide to deactivate each part of this mod for compatibility reasons.

Sorry, I think it might be a necro but from the look of it, it is still widely in use... As of 2.5 version, do we know if mass traffic does or doesn't affect economy for sure?

Mass traffic does trade between stations in the same zone. Using the configurable traffic mod I haven't noticed any problems from reducing it a bit. All inter-zone traffic is handled by the job ships m sized and up.

No stardust also works fine for me under 2.51 beta too.

Ok thank you. I reduced it to around 20%, so do you think it will break the economy if I decide to build some stations?

I wouldn't think so, just slow the trade if the stations in zone have things the other wants.
