Hi, I'm having a known problem. I've got a lot of models + skins. And as we aldready know not every model can show up in that list.

 

But is it possible to disable certain models from showing up ... like adjusting their properties or something. Cause there are a lot of models I don't play with but do show up ... so I thought about removing them from the list without removing them from the game.

 

Is this possible? If so ... how?

I know what you mean. I use alot of downloaded and custom models/skins myself. Here's what to do;

 

Each model has a default skin file and a default icon in their folder

 

base\models\players\thrawn\model_default.skin

base\models\players\thrawn\icon_default.jpg

 

These are the ones that make that model show up in the MP setup list.

 

To clean up the list you could simply change the filenames like so:

 

model_thrawn.skin

icon_thrawn.skin

 

If you do this, however, you'll have to edit the bot script to reflect the change. For example:

 

base\scripts\thrawn.bot

 

{

name "Thrawn"

model thrawn

color1 5

personality /botfiles/thrawn.jkb

}

 

...should be edited to read

 

{

name "Thrawn"

model thrawn/thrawn

color1 5

personality /botfiles/thrawn.jkb

}

 

Because now, instead of the default skin (model_default.skin), JKII needs to use the thrawn skin (model_thrawn.skin).

 

The icon_default.jpg must also be renamed so that the picture will appear in Duels, like normal. icon_thrawn.jpg for example. It should match the name of the *.skin file.

 

If the model or skin has a *.surf file, the name must also match the same convention.

 

Once you do this, the model & skin will no longer appear in the MP setup list. Be aware that means you can't select that particular model for your own use, but you can still use the model as a bot by writing a bot script like the example above.

 

Also, if you want to remove or edit the factory bots, just go to

 

\base\botfiles\bots.txt

 

and change/delete the bots you don't want.

 

You can spend endless amounts of time tweaking the MP game. That's why I love it so much!
