Try the "How-To" of the FLMM, I recently read something abaout deleting files there.

Is that the How-To inside the FLMM, or is that the forum you're talking about?

You can't delete *files* with FLMM, but you can delete sections of INIs, replace a file whilst interpreting it, and other things.

For example, there's a mod that Speedcoder wrote that deletes all references to Cloak, making it much less easy for people to cheat without getting caught. It basically works by performing a series of section-delete operations within several files.

... and if you wanna get rid of a ship... all you need to do is replace the ship's CMP with something that works, by altering the appropriate lines in Shiparch.ini, and then altering the Loadouts.ini in an appropriate fashion, which you could do via FLMM very easily. But a better strategy (imho) would be to use the section-replace commands to change every entry in Faction_Prop.ini that refers to the ship's listing in npcships.ini, and then use another script to alter market_ships.ini so that the ship would no longer be on sale.

If you want to totally delete a ship, then we're talking about editing quite a few INIs, as there will be a lot of references to it throughout the mod. As you're working on the ReBal massive addon... I think FLMM/XML might be a very good choice.

Alright, roger that :p Thanks for the advice. I'll use the xml script to try it out.
