SWI - No Maintenance

Description
This mod disables the new supply system on Star Wars Interworlds completely.
One things of note:

>> THIS ONLY WORKS ON A NEW GAME <<

So with that out of the way, I just didn't like the new supply system as it just didn't fit how I wanted to play and there is no in game settings for this feature.
I also found the scaling parameters for the supply system and they are included in the single xml that is this mod.

So if you DO want the new supply system, but at a DIFFERENT scaling rate of what the SWI mod does by default, you can still use this mod as an example but you will have to extract and edit the xml manually with the X Tools available on steam.

You will have to change:
<set_value name="$MaintenanceEnabled" exact="false" />
to
<set_value name="$MaintenanceEnabled" exact="true" />

and then adjust the set values that are clearly named below it.

I have NOT actually tested this but in theory it works :-)
it WILL also require a new game, these values are set just once at game start I believe.

@Aurelinoctis Considering I just copy / pasted xml directly from the original SWI mod and changed some values, no ?
I suspect the modder on Nexus did exactly the same thing and XML has a fixed structure.
The folder layout for X4 mods also needs to be EXACTLY the same as the game files so that's why that bit would be the same.
I can't remember if I changed the multipliers or not beyond just disabling the whole mechanic.

But that mod didn't show up on google when I was digging around for ways to disable the maintenance.
I wish it had because that would have spared me the frustration of figuring out both how to make an X4 mod and then how to even get it to be on Steam lol
It's VERY picky and not that user friendly :steamsad:

Looks like Land beat me by a week with the same mindset that I had.
He's also got more interesting tweaks beyond maintenance so if anyone else reads this, check out 'SWI Sandbox Tweaks' on Nexus.

Hey there! I noticed that the file syntax and construction is exactly the same as the old version uploaded on Nexus by Landsong about 3 weeks before your upload. Is that a coincidence?

The vars are stored in the save file, so you can also edit them for a game in-progress.
