A Plugin Error Which Makes No Sense

[Billz]

Normally, I have no problems when making custom plugins or editing existing ones. So if anyone would care to explain to me how this happened because I haven't got a clue. I just followed the same procedure as I normally do when making or editing plugins.
I didn't like having Voyager and her shuttles in a sublist as, by Federtion standards, it made no sense to have shuttle type vessels in a starship line-up when they should've been placed in the shuttle line-up. Moving the Delta Flyer 2, Type 8 and Type 9 shuttles didn't present me with this issue and they still work when launching them from Voyager. Just seems that the Aeroshuttle chose to 'not behave', lol.

that's because, with the CGI voyager, the Aeroshuttle is MVAMable.? MVAM is designed so that BC automatically puts all of the items called in the MVAM script in a submenu of the full ship, you may have noticed the same thing with other MVAMable ships like the DJ Galaxy.  The only way to remove it is to disable the CGI voy's MVAM script.

Is there a way to change it just for the Aeroshuttle without disabling MVAM for the CGIVoyager in the process?

[ACES_HIGH]

well I didn't see anything in the Plugin, so I suspect that you would have to dig through the MVAM control scripts and disable the line of code that controls that.

I don't suppose you know which line of code that is do you?

[ACES_HIGH]

that's something to ask Sneaker.

Ah. There goes that idea then, lol.

Billz - what is it that you do to constantly damage your install??

I never said that my install was damaged in this thread. This thread was merely made for customization help when it comes to one particular plugin. The game otherwise works fine.

I know that you are only joking but its the second time you have posted a response like that which wasn't particularly useful to the topic of the thread.

Code: [Select]

That will kill it for every MVAM ship, not just the Aero Shuttle.

[teleguy]

I know.

[Billz]

Your input is apprciated teleguy but I am only trying to make the Aeroshuttle not appear in a submenu because of MVAM. I am not looking to kill the whole of MVAM in my install.

[teleguy]

Well MVAM still works, only the ships aren't in a submenu anymore. Normal submenus aren't affected either.

thats because i feel bad for ya - you have more topics in this forum (and a new one seemingly regularly lol) than anyone else 
i can only imagine your frustration lol

[teleguy]

Try this...


[MLeo EDIT] Removed the attachment, it's not needed and could have unintending sideeffects if an error was made.

Upps, I just found this in the readme. :shock:

If you want to disable the MVAM menu for all the ships, add this to your parent (integrated) ship plugin:
bMvamMenu = 0
You can also use None instead of 0, but 0 is more natural (in absence of true and false keywords).

You can now also exclude a sub ship from that list, you can do that by adding the same bMvamMenu to that subship plugin.

You can add bMvamMenu in the same way as you do SubMenu and SubSubMenu (more about this in "Using the previous features").

*Starts lamenting...* 
Why doesn't anyone just e-mail me? I can't go to bc-central when I'm at my work!

My beautiful SubMenu! *



And Teleguy (I've removed the attachment btw!), if you would have looked a bit up, you would have noticed the bMvamMenu part. ;)


_{* Well, to my current standards it's hideous...}
