Title: How to clear the intel database?
Post by: HLD_Prophecy on November 26, 2017, 07:11:40 pm

How do I clear the default entries from the intel database? I mean what goes under the "intelligence" tab, not weapons or ships. Do I have to make a .tbm with the default entries set to not show? Or can I just make a blank .tbl file, wouldn't that overwrite the defaults?

I think there are SEXPs that allow you to manipulate your tech room stuff. I think one of them was tech-add-intel (http://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php?title=Tech-add-intel&action=edit&redlink=1).

But I want the entries cleared from the beginning, when the player first boots up the mod. Thanks for the suggestion, though. :)

Those flags determine what's in the techroom at the start.

to clear the default intel entries you need to create a blank [Species.tbl] in your mod (http://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/Species.tbl)

... or just change the $AlwaysInTechRoom value of existing entries to 0.

Looks like a blank Species.tbl was, in fact, all that was needed.
