@rik_starkiller:

One thing we are very keen on with our mod is disabling single player mode. I saw NS did it in his mod.

What’s mod ? may you can give me the name ?

@ rik

Disabling SP. First thing to do is create some dummy ini files to go into the SP folders, DATA\MISSIONS
Here you will see the folders marked M01A, M01B and so on. Inside each of those put an empty npcships.ini file and you can forget SP will work again. This is how NS did it as he’s a good friend of mine and we talked about this ages ago. This also means that if anyone clicks to start an SP game on the main menu, they will ctd.

I haven’t managed to remove them, i just changed what was written in the boxes to UNAVAILABLE. The numbers you need to modify are in the resources.dll, just can’t remember which ones. I’ve got it looking like this,

crashing the client on purpose?

@OP huh? lol

nvm
just wanted to point out that a ctd isnt an optimal solution eventhough no better one is available yet

lol, well ic ant remember what mod is was but you could click singleplayer and then the menu would go off the screen, then it would come straight back. no CTD. im gunna have to look lmao XD

@ OP

I agree that a ctd is not the best. The point is, trying to disable SP. The way i’ve described does this but the problem is now the menu screen. Most people who understand english will not click where it says UNAVAILABLE. Some will. Those that do will ctd. If i knew how to disable those two buttons on the menu screen, believe me i would lol

I was try to find what’s dll files can remove those two buttons, but best I can do is same as Gibbon.

Multiplayer only? Why the hell would you do that? There are people (like me) who absolutely hate multiplayer.

the mod might not be compatable with singleplayer. hence why its disabled. lol (tho anyone in there right mind would try everything to make it SP aswell - we are disabling it in ours till I can find a fix. lol)

Yes, if you make a mod and remove all of game’s faction (like me), disable the singleplayer will be better.

I’ve seen buttons removed somewhere.
My approach would be to find out where buttons are defined, and comment that one out. Alternativly, you could create a ‘training’ system The player is locked into and change the name of the button to ‘Solo Training’ or somthing.
