[MOD] Remove/Destroy/Kill ALL Civillian Ships & Taxis (UPDATED w/Cockpit/MinimalHUD)

[Galaxy613]

Put you changes in a mod. Use X2Mod Manager to put the Jobs file into a mod and then do that. I suggest you do not run in raw mode instead you should just use mods, they are so much easier...

[cactus]

Well... created the mod with the edited (lines deleted) Jobs,txt file, started a new game (with the mod selected) and NO civies/taxis in Argon Prime!

Loaded my last save game, and the ships are there, but have blank names in the sector map list

Went to an unexplored sector and NO civies/taxis were spawned, so, the question is, any way to get rid of those that are in the save game (other than going around and killing them manually!)

[cactus]

Actually, I checked a sector using the universe map that has an Adv. Sat present and saw the blank named ships, if you visit that sector then the sector is updated and the ships are removed!

So, looks like this is a winner!

I'll stick the mod on my server if anyone wants a copy.

u could use a script to kill all the ones, as theres none being spawned, u only have to run it once when u first load the game

Good point, but I'll probably visit those sectors anyway so they will update automagically

You can get the mod here.

Thanks to everyone who contributed!

Thanks, it's just what i needed... one questio though, is there a way I ran run this mod and the cockpit mod (the one listed on this forum) together somehow?

There are 2 ways that this can be done.

1) Repackage the files in my mod and those in the cockpit mod into a single unfied mod with a new mod name.

2) Trick X3 to see my mod (or other mods) that it is a patch. I have NO idea how this is done and only saw it mentioned in this thread by Galaxy613.

I can see a super-mod request coming soon for all these in one mod:

Capital Rebalance by Galaxy613
Cockpit Callback by Galaxy 613
No Civillians by cactus
The Syndicate Galaxy by nuclear_eclipse
X3 Remote Property Management by nuclear_eclipse
The Minimal Hud Mod by lefthandblack

-r = raw?

i don't know, you can try to pack the files in a mod and see (you can use also the tools for x2, x2modmanager by doubleshadow is simplier)

I've already packed the files into a mod and the changes work fine, it just seems (to me) that the raw switch does not work on the executable.

I started a fresh game last night with your mod running. I have max resolution, textures and shaders on high and every thing eles turned on. I noticed straight away in AP that the menus response is now faster and smother without all those stupid memory eating idiot ships fart arsing around in sector.

This is sweet, the game looks much better with all the frills turned on.

Fantastic mod mate.

(allthough i still had to tweak down for mission 2)

Glad to hear it mate, although hopefully a future Egosoft patch will allow us to have these ships enabled without decreasing performance (such as fixing the "black hole" bug).

This looks very interesting. Reading the posts above, do we have to start a new game for this to work, or can I install it in my current game?

Edit: Frome the readme:

Works with new games as well as saves, but with save games you will need to revisit the sectors to update the sector information otherwise the ships will still be there only their names will be blank!

Meaning the ships will be there (but with no names) until we enter the sector? So when checking a sector with a sat/ship in, there will be lots of no name ships? That's no problem though, just making sure I got it.

Also, I've read that you can only have one mod enabled in X3. So I'll have to choose between this and any of the other mods? Nice of you to include the cockpit callback in it, btw.

Thanks,

Installed it, and it worked great (or like mentioned above at least). Then I installed the BBS mod (getting rid of BBS-entries that don't 'do' anything)and the missing ships models mod, and the the civilian/taxi ships were back. Also the cockpit diesappeared from my Nova Raider (but I still have the 'cockpit' when in the spacesuit).

I understood it as mods will work with each other as long as they don't conflict. Anyone know what the conflict could be here?

Any chance of a 'joint' mod featuring all the goodies on one mod?

The problem here is the fact that you can't run more than one mod, because of this there should be no conflicts. Remember, this is a mod not a script, and you only generally get conflicts with scripts.

That would be the solution to allowing you to run all the mods together.

Thanks that was my initial understanding too, but I asked the same question to the author of the missing ship models mod, and he said that if the mods didn't modify the same items in the game, we could use several mods.

Well thanks for the answer. I'll be using your mod only then, as this is the most interesting for me at this time.

Any chance you'll be making a 'cockpit merge' version like many of the other mods?

Can u confirm u just deleted some lines out of the jobs file ??

I merged the less enemies and your no civ jobs.txt so i can put multiple modifications into one mod package for myself

both mods use the jobs file so i had to figure out what the changes were so i could put those both in one jobs.txt (pck)
Your mod seems to show up as missing lines in the jobs file , so i hope that is all i needed to change (easyer to spot)

have to find all mods i can to raise the fps in this game and merge them all in to one
whish i could find a mod to tune down the graph effects of the weapons, those flashes drop my fps like crazy since the 1.3 patch

thanks
