Mod packs ... hiding unwanted items from the "store"

[W1der]

Some mods contain several items that shows/fills up the "store" menus.

Is there an easy way to "hide" the ones you don´t like to use?

[EZP]

Open the 'moddesc.xml' and snip out the unwanted 'storeItem' sections.

Open the 'moddesc.xml' and snip out the unwanted 'storeItem' sections.

Would that be this section of code?

Code: Select all

<storeItem>
            <name>
                <de>Warnschild "Holzfällung"</de>
                <en>warning sign "Holzfällung"</en>
            </name>
            <rotation>0</rotation>
            <image active="store/warnschild1_store.dds" brand="store/brand.dds"/>
            <price>120</price>
            <dailyUpkeep>1</dailyUpkeep>
            <xmlFilename>warnschild1.xml</xmlFilename>
			<species>placeable</species>
			<brand>Forstobjekte</brand>
            <category>placeables</category>
        </storeItem>

You don't need to delete the entries.

Just set an <!-- before <storeItem> and an --> after </storeItem>

Then it looks like this:

Code: Select all

<!--<storeItem>
<name>
<de>Warnschild "Holzfällung"</de>
<en>warning sign "Holzfällung"</en>
</name>
<rotation>0</rotation>
<image active="store/warnschild1_store.dds" brand="store/brand.dds"/>
<price>120</price>
<dailyUpkeep>1</dailyUpkeep>
<xmlFilename>warnschild1.xml</xmlFilename>
<species>placeable</species>
<brand>Forstobjekte</brand>
<category>placeables</category>
</storeItem> -->

Now all entries between this tags are interpreted as a comment. <!-- begins the comment and --> close the comment.


So you have everytime the possibility to get the entries back to the store.

</storeItem> -->

Now all entries betwenn this tags are interpreted as a comment. <!-- begins the comment and --> close the comment.


So you have every time the possibility to get the entries back to the store.
