[MOD] NoSuperHighways

[Straton]

Already have a mod which adjusts the travel drives to do a better job and balances the others a little bit, someone with this mod let me know how it goes please, then I may consider using this a base and patch out all the highways period no more super/local just like the X:R mod

Would you mind sharing the name or link of the mod you mention that you use?

Just started a new VRO game and it says to use this mod, but for some reason this mod prevents me from loading or even starting new games, it just stops at 35% while loading

Tested with and without NoSuperHighways and when its disabled the game starts up ok

I had the exact same problem with the mod. In the end, I had to modify the scripts to make it work.

I can put a link to my modified version, if that is OK with the author.

Expanded Sectors x2 seems to work fine without tweaking, and that mod does remove the highway ribbons. It also puts stations farther apart from one another, though, so if you don't want an even slower game then it may not be the best option.

Well its just to go with VRO, and NoSuperHighways was reccomended

Here's what I did to solve the issue on my end. I hope it can work for you as well. I took inspiration from the expanded sectors mod, so credit for the solution goes to its author.

NOTE : I tried to contact NoSuperHighway's author on Nexus to ask if I could post my modified version of the mod, but it seems he no longer supports the mod. So I'm posting the modified code instead. If it poses an issue to the OP or the author, let me know and I'll remove my post.

Basically, you'll need 3 files in "extensions/NoSuperHighway/maps/XU_ep2_universe" for it to work.

1. Edit the zonehighways.xml file so that it looks like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diff>
	<replace sel="//macros">
		<macros>
		</macros>
	</replace>
</diff>

2. Add a sectors.xml file with this code:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
