Modding: Remove black market

[Terhonator]

Hi! I just started modding.

What is best solution to remove black market?

[jbowers]

Depending what you're trying to accomplish:

XML:
You could make remove xml entries for black market items and their dependencies. They are in sabotage.xml and black-market.xml depending how much you want to strip them from the game or if you want the sabotages to be around for some other acquisition type.

C#:
-You could disable sabotages by setting the NO_SABOTAGE game option
-This will hide the black market UI:
AppGlobals.GameHUDHelpers.SetVisible(HUDElement.BLACK_MARKET, false);
-You could extend GameServer and override the function doBlackMarkets which makes items available.

Why remove the baest part of the game, without the black market the game is simply and economic model. Love the Black Market, it makes the game fun to play.

Well at this point I am just learning how to remove / add things.
But yes, as you saied "simple and economic model" is what I am trying to achieve at first then add more layers.
I will test removing some of the game options first.

Ok, lets say I want to modify game options so that game option "No sabotage" is selected [x] and player cant select to turn it off. [ ]

<zType>GAMEOPTION_NO_SABOTAGE</zType>
<Name>TEXT_GAMEOPTION_NO_SABOTAGE</Name>
<Description>TEXT_GAMEOPTION_NO_SABOTAGE_DESC</Description
<LobbyToggleOutput>TEXT_GAMEOPTION_NO_SABOTAGE_LOBBYTOGGLE</LobbyToggleOutput>

<bCampaignOption>0</bCampaignOption>
<bPriorityOption>0</bPriorityOption>
<bRequiresDLCMaps>0</bRequiresDLCMaps>
<bRequiresDLCCeres>0</bRequiresDLCCeres>

Which of these fields (or somewhere else) modifies that?

When I am developing my mod I need to restrict some game options at first.
