Any way to disable station building cutscene

Post by L33tz »

This cut scene is probably the most annoying part of building stations. It should at least be skip-able.

I have to go through 191 of these just placing the complex construction kits..

Each one adds about 7 seconds, that's 7x191= 1337 (lol nice number)

1337 is 22 minutes of ****** cut scenes.
:evil: :evil: :evil:

I saw somewhere that these are hardcoded and cannot be removed but I'm going to ask anyway.

I think there's a mod which allows you to skip that stuff and also allow you to place buildings yourself out of sector.

I have Factory complex constructor which let's me put buildings out of sector but it doesn't work well for CCKs

It would be really nice to skip this scene. In AP the new bonus package software Hephaistos helps alot with station but you still have to connect them.
Maybe someone will recognize it and there is the 0,00000000001% chance in another AP patch we can disable it :lol:

I think the general idea is that we *should* find complex building among the most irratating things in the universe.

Else it would still be scriptable.

Yes - I agree - the most annoying cut scene in any game, ever when you have seen it thousands of times! :)

What was the biggest complex you built? :) The script from AP bonus pack is awesome.

3000 seconds of cut scenes is.

Not to mention in the case of CCKs it does not actually even show the damn tubes. Just the same thing every single time.

It's only (and this is a stretch) use is to let you immediately know if the CCK screwed up and added a 2nd tube, inciting you to restart and do it correctly so you don't have a field of fps and ship killing pipes.

It's been 7 years. I think it's about time they did away with these things. It was like.. okay cool at first. In 2005.

Look at it this way. You know how there's the warp tunnel animation you can turn on when you enter a gate? Puts an extra 5 seconds on sector to sector travel. Cool once and a while for flavor but all and all a big time waster.

Now imagine if it was forced and not optional.

Yeha..

You could always use tubeless, fake patch it, it does not give **modified** tag

Details please? Since the only two tubeless mods I found both added modified.
