@OP huh? lol

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 iāve 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
-
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 gameās faction (like me), disable the singleplayer will be better.

Heyā¦.
Personally I prefer the challenges that Multiplayer offers. As do my clan mates and most of the people I have played online with in the past. Hence the mod weāre writing is specifically tailored to multiplayer.
So MK, weāll have to agree to disagree on this one
I am keen to look at SP stuff but ideally Iād have to totally overhaul the SP missions something Iām not prepared to look at short term, so R1 will be release with no SP mode.
For reference:

001268 - NEW GAME
001269 - LOAD GAME@CheeseOnToastā¦ if you can find that menu fix that would be magic

Quick updateā¦
I created a new text doc, renamed it npcships.ini (0 bytes)
Pasted it into:
Data\Missions\M01A
Data\Missions\M01B
etcā¦
Obviously left the npcships.ini in Data\Missions alone.Clicked the button that was āNEW GAMEā (now āDISABLEDā)
The intro movie started, zoomed in on FP7 and hung. Eventually blue screened - memory leak (not wholly suprising in retrospect), first time ever Iām disappointed not to see a CTD
Thinking Iād misread your instructions I also included blank mission files M01a.ini (0 bytes) etcā¦
The game started and put me in a Starter ship in Omi Major!
Anymore thoughts?
Cheers,

Iāve 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 ātrainingā system The player is locked into and change the name of the button to āSolo Trainingā or somthing. -
Now thats the sort of āoutside the boxā thinking that wins prizesā¦
Iāll give this one some thoughtā¦ it might well fit in with something else Iāve implemented already (a kind of Arcade Challenge System which is already separate from the main āuniverseā).
Thanks for the idea Ruppet!

I have now managed to force a CTD by commenting out then entry for FP7 in M01A.ini.

If i remember right eagle removed a few buttons in his optional mod for his server.

Multiplayer only? Why the hell would you do that? There are people (like me) who absolutely hate multiplayer.
MK
Why should anyone create a mod 4 those un-social people?
;D(UUUps - going a bit more off topic
- but something beyond my control forced me ā¦)

@OP
So if i read this right, all mod makers should make SP versions then as well as MP versions of their mods. The beauty of modding is that modders can create what they want. In my case i have a total conversion mod with no vanilla stuff in it so SP is simply not an option. Iām not alone in this as others have done the same.
There are plenty of people who have played vanilla FL to death and want something new, what mods like mine are all about. Just because somebody doesnāt want to play online is really not my problem, neither is the fact that there are players who only play SP. My mod and others like it cater for the players who like a completely different universe. Itās what modding is all about, least in my book.
Donāt get me wrong OP, iām not taking this personally, merely demonstrating the fact there are mods for everyone, MP or SP
