removing a stock ship

[martyr]

i want to remove the hybrid cardassian ship because i hate how its always in the random defence force when i invade cardassian territory.

or if the cardassian ships in the dominion wars pack be renamed as the cardassians and then i can turn stock ships off

Random Defense Force is a part of the Galaxy Charts mod...
you should post your question at USS Frontier's forum as well...

*Moved to scripting*

I haven't seen the code of RDF, so I can't tell how to help you exactly.

to remove the Hybrid, go into BCDirectory/scripts/custom/ships
and remove the file CardHybrid.py and CardHybrid.pyc

I think its possible to remove it from the RDF list, too, I know it has to do with the Hybrid being in the Races plugin...
yes, it is.

to remove the Hybrid from RDF, Go to BCDirectory/scripts/custom/QBAutostart/Libs/Racesd
and open Cardassian.py
scroll down about half way, then look for something that looks like this:

########
## list of the ship script name  of ships of this race, to be added manually (that is, besides looking in the above
## mentioned menu)
lDefaultShips = ["Galor", "Keldon", "Hideki", "Hutet", "CardHybrid", "CowpAsteroid", "cOWP", ]

and just remove "CardHybrid",, so that it looks like

########
## list of the ship script name  of ships of this race, to be added manually (that is, besides looking in the above
## mentioned menu)
lDefaultShips = ["Galor", "Keldon", "Hideki", "Hutet","CowpAsteroid", "cOWP", ]

That should do it.
however, copying the code from here won't work, because of how the site displays texts, with spaces after commas.

Ehhh..... CardHybrid is a _stock_ ship, meaning it doesn't have a plugin file.


Btw, the code in the quotes, replace it with code and it will also work. Besides, there isn't anythng wrong with it as it is.

_But_! In my copy of the Cardasian.py file, from the same location, it doesn't have those lines, in fact, it's not a static list.


So, to remove it from both the ship list and the RDF would seem to be the following (assuming you have the recent SubMenu mod):

Code: [Select]

import Foundation
Foundation.ShipDef.CardHybrid.__dict__["Do not display"] = 1
Foundation.ShipDef.CardHybrid.menuGroup = "Other Ships"Put that in a file in scripts/Custom/Ships/

[martyr]

how would i make that file?

[MLeo]

Well, create a file in scripts/Custom/Ship/ call it CardHybridRemoval.py

And paste the code I put above in that and save it.

[EDIT] You will need a recent version of SubMenu for this.
