Quick Question about removing mods.

[thefinn 3]

I made a mission that required a particular mod, I removed all the units I was using from that mod and removed the mod. However, still cannot load the mission without the mod.

Any way around redoing it from scratch ?

Go into your mission.sqm and under required mods or w/e, delete anything that isn't vanilla. I'd personally show you but I'm typing from.my phone

aha! thanks for that ;)

Like AtinAkiri says edit your sqm manually.

This is going about only for two subclasses.

For example:

addOns[]=
{
	"A3_Structures_F_Civ_Camping",
	"A3_Structures_F_EPA_Items_Medical",
	"A3_Structures_F_Civ_Dead",
	"A3_Structures_F_Mil_Helipads",
	"A3_Structures_F_Mil_BagFence",
	"A3_Structures_F_Heli_Items_Airport",
	"A3_Structures_F_Mil_Flags",
	"A3_Modules_F_Multiplayer",
	[b][color="#FF0000"]"alive_mil_logistics"[/color][/b]
};
addOnsAuto[]=
{
	"A3_Modules_F_Multiplayer",
[b][color="#FF0000"]	        "rhsusf_c_troops",
	"lop_faction_aa",
	"alive_mil_ied",
	"lop_faction_am",
	"alive_mil_placement_custom",[/color][/b]
	"A3_Weapons_F_Ammoboxes",
	[b][color="#FF0000"]"RHS_US_A2_AirImport",[/color][/b]
	"A3_Structures_F_Mil_Helipads",
	"A3_Structures_F_Heli_Items_Airport",
	"A3_Structures_F_Mil_Flags"

};

The last modules entries have no commas at end. Be aware.

B - modules from custom addons.

Wish BIS would fix this!

Can't believe this is still going on...

This is quite annoying. I extracted the PBO (why the heck do I have to do this? Why can't I remove stuff within the editor so it's REALLY removed?). I deleted the entire subclasses. Yes, I kid you not... this is what I have:

version=12;
class Mission
{
	addOns[]=
	{
		
	};
	addOnsAuto[]=
	{
		
	};
	randomSeed=2991469;

And it still tells me it's expected the mod that was deleted. But since the last post is months old, I don't think any solution will come up. I'll just start over... Spending another 3 hours on redoing everything seems actually easier than tracking down why my server won't load that one mod and why I can't just remove it from the mission.

But have you tried rearranging your vehicles/units in mission.sqm so you exclude the mod classnames manually?

 

Say you have under class Vehicles:

        class Item25
        {
		position[]={2500,5,2000};
		azimut=240;
		offsetY=-4.7683699e-007;
		id=28;
		side="EMPTY";
		vehicle="Land_CncWall4_F";
		skill=0.40000001;
	};

And suppose "Land_CncWall4_F" is an addon. Replace it with a valid classname to avoid having to renumber everything.

I can certainly try your advice and report back to you.

 

I figured removing all entries in that section should have an effect. I was expecting it to break the editor completely, since I removed every single unit type that I've used on the editor. It didn't phase the editor one bit that none of the units were defined. Right now I'm thinking I could write an all-star cast of Walt Disney in that section and the editor wouldn't care.

 

I'll get back to you once I've tried your method. :)

 

Edit: No effect. I packed the .sqm and extracted the resulting .pbo to verify and yes, all entries are replaced with another - valid - unit (verified with a ctrl-f search) , it still asks for the unit that I wanted to remove.
