[MOD] REM for Rebirth

[killerog]

Was out the whole of yesterday so didn't have a chance to look at the forum.

Ill carry on playing around with the boosters this week but ill pm you a link to the script when I get home realspace.

Im concerned tho how much the economy would slow down. I would love it tho if you could make the highways invisible so let us travel with boosters so the economy would be unchanged.

[MutantDwarf]

Note that it's not just the economy slowing down you have to worry about - highways are also used in mission scripts to, for example, spawn enemies. This'll almost certainly break some combat and plot missions, among other things.

Hi,
Is it possible to leave the Highways unaffected and only use the "unlimited boost" function of this mod?

thanks

[Realspace]

Have you considered leaving the highways there but making them invisible?

That way npc traffic plots/missions would not be affected.

that was my first idea but then you can still get inside a lane by not seeing it...and I like to see the ships travelling among zones so the solution is a script as Killerog is suggesting, to command the small ships to use the booster (bigger ones alrady do it and don't use highways anyway)

that would be great, thanks!!

thanks for the info, is there a part of the plot where highways are important (mean a part from using them to move to missions)? I must add the alert in the presentation of the mod then

yes you can do it, just delete the entire /map folder of my mod and delete

Code: Select all

	<entry name="highway*" value="extensions\RS_NoLanes\maps\XU_ep1_universe\zonehighways"/>

in the index/macros.xml

EDIT:

I added a BOOSTER ONLY optional file you can download from the same page in NEXUS

[cmdShepard]

cool, thanks for the help
Is this just for "highway boost" or do i have unlimited boost outside the highways too if i delete said line?


thanks

it improves the player's booster, not inside the hw only but in general

I really appreciate the help!

, they don't use the lanes.

wrong,they DO use them.
anything that don't have jump drives use them.

what are you quoting? This is manipulation, I stated that with lanes active, some ships use them (small ones) some not and use boosters (big ones). With lanes removed, the small ones travel at normal speed. Please add some info or help to improve the mod if you can. Thanks

[killerog]

Don't quote people out if context (if that's what you have done) doesn't help anyone and is just unnecessary.

The booster only mod does not work:( I activate boosters but nothing happens. Not even the standard booster speed just normal traveling speed what your engine can do.

Problem corrected, thanks for reporting, try it now! I've updated the value so it is not eternal as in the NoLane option, but it lasts much longer than vanilla

[Swallen]

I cannot recommend this mod enough. It will change your game tremendously, giving space a lot of atmosphere, making exploration fun and giving stations the true feeling of being small pockets of life in the otherwise vast and scary place that space is.

Thanks, that's exactly the reason and feeling inspiring the mod. There are some problems to correct but thanks to the help of Killerog I think we can solve them quickly. Still I recomend to use the mod even now if playing a NO_Story game

I am 8-9hrs in a non plot game and oh my....
it feels so spooky , like space should do.
I feel dizzy in a smooth way like somtimes I am like well what if I fell or stuff like that (I roll play alot in games)

did you start a new game?
this mods need you to start a new game.
also I dont think your ment to try it in the plot mode yet

[Realspace]

Right! NEW GAME and possibly NO PLOT. It is for testing only.

BTW I'm probably going to make a first full release. I found a solution, thanks to a script provided by Killerog that lets me see which ships don't use the booster. So I'm trying to add the booster to all engine. This way, any ship, plot or not, is able to cross the distances not using the lanes. Hope it works, I'm having some problems, just trying now

After all is done, I'll try to clean the code so to make all works with a savegame, but am not sure it is possible.
