Title: Removing retail ships from FRED list
Post by: wistler on February 07, 2014, 06:05:25 am

Hi guys,

I'm working with a lot of user made ships and would like to be able to remove the retail ships from the FRED ship list just to make it easier.

I've seen total conversion have done this and was hoping someone could anyone tell me how its done?

You need a new ships.tbl (or an edited version of an existing one) in your mods /tabels folder for that to work

Yup, just write a .tbl instead of a .tbm, including only the ships you want.

Sometimes I wonder if we could have a '+removeentry' to use in the place of '+nocreate' for cases like this. But then I think about the potential bugs and issues and conclude it's a lot of code work for a minimal convenience.

You could add the "no_fred" flag to the ships table entries (see Volition Bravos) - although that does leave a blank space in the drop down list.
