Modding Help Disable Vanilla Races? - VANILLA PARSE CODE SCREWING IT ALL UP LOL

As the title suggests, i'm looking to disable a couple of the races for the time being in my mod. Anyone have any ideas? I tried to overwrite and remove the id's from the charcreation.config (below) and SB didn't like that


The portion of charcreation.config I thought was responsible:

Code:

"buttons" : [
        {
          "id" : 0,
          "image" : "",
          "position" : [0, 0]
        },
        {
          "id" : 1,
          "image" : "",
          "position" : [27, 0]
        },
        {
          "id" : 2,
          "image" : "",
          "position" : [54, 0]
        },
        {
          "id" : 3,
          "image" : "",
          "position" : [0, -26]
        },
        {
          "id" : 4,
          "image" : "",
          "position" : [27, -26]
        },
        {
          "id" : 5,
          "image" : "",
          "position" : [54, -26]
        }
      ]
    },

Can't seem to find any references as to when the species is loaded into the character creation. Anything works though, disabling the button/removing the species from the button/etc...

 

@xxswatelitexx

Just made a custom tech from scratch,.... perfect.
Overhauled 4 of the 6 races,.... perfect.
Just added a new item which tracks spawning of a certain dungeon object,.... perfect(maybe)

and then this,....

I always seem to get stuck on the dumbest things :>



EDIT: I take that back, i'll never get this thing working,.... an item that when activated tells you whether object A was generated or not on the planet you're on Eventually though :>

 

Very true! Also thank you btw

 

Would you replace the species names with a null, or remove them completely ;o

Starting to think im looking in an old assets pak xD

EDIT:

Code:

{
    "_merge": [
        [
            "overwrite",
            "species"
        ]
    ],
    "species": [
        "human",
        "glitch",
        "hylotl",
        "apex",
        "null",
        "null"
    ]
}

I suppose it's not the biggest deal, as i can just overwrite more code.

BUT - It has NO problem with my code, whether removed or set "null" but it seems to crash sections after, mainly on humanTiming (the first section following species) o.o

{
"defaultHumanoidIdentity" : {
"gender" : "Male",
"hairType" : "male2",
"color" : [51, 117, 237, 255]
},

"species" : [ "human", "glitch", "hylotl", "apex", "avian", "floran" ],

"humanoidTiming" : {
// Idle, Walk, Run, Jump, Fall, Swim, SwimIdle, Duck, Sit, Lay
"stateCycle" : [1.0, 0.75, 0.75, 0.25, 0.25, 0.50, 0.50, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0],
"stateFrames" : [1, 8, 8, 4, 4, 7, 2, 1, 1, 1],

// EmoteIdle, Blabbering, Shouting, Happy, Sad, NEUTRAL, Laugh, Annoyed, Oh, OOOH, Blink, Wink Eat Sleep
// , normal , caps , , :'(, , , , , :O , ,
"emoteCycle" : [1.0, 0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 1.0, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5, 0.3, 1.0],
"emoteFrames" : [1, 2, 2, 2, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 2, 2]
},

This is the vanilla code, it freaks out over this part

But only when I attempt to change JUST the code from above

always get this crash

Error: Exception raised during Root finishInitialization: AssetException: Could not read variant value /player.config:humanoidTiming

EDIT: There is a parse error in the original player.config



FINAL EDIT FOR TONIGHT: I'm beginning to think I could have just finished these 2 races, in the time i've spent trying to disable them LMFAO!

 

Disabled vanilla races? SURE I CAN SPIN THAT. Here's what you do:

1. In a mod, put { "__merge" : [ [ "delete", "index" ] ], "playerSpecies" : false } in species\avian.species, apex, floran, glitch, human, and hylotl.species.
2. Hide the first button in the character creator, because that one'll remain unmapped -- having only the Felins left, those got button #2 when I tried. Or #1 if you want to get technical.
3. Ignore player.config:species.
4. If you want to properly get rid of the vanilla races, disable their dungeons. This goes beyond the scope of this post.

 

You're both right, in different senses I don't want to delete the races from the game as they are the base for the new races.

Basically I've got 6 custom races, that are replacing the vanilla races, but I don't want to do 2 of them right now, I wanna focus on the other 4.

Kawa has it I think, i'm going to try his method thank you guys again, very much!

I got so frustrated with that damn parsing code last night, that I just began work on the skin and stuff for the last 2 races


Having the dungeons and things would be fine for now, as I will remove all the dungeons and things eventually.
and all npc's will be re-imagined when the other 2 races are complete.
