Mod Request: Remove Penetrator

[ElizLestrad]

Is there anyway someone can do a mod that removes the Penetrator from the game?

Since several NPCs use it by default, removing it entirely would be a game breaker. I think you could replace its mesh with the one from the baseball bat,though.

 

[ElizLestrad]

So basically, in order for it to work, I would have to find all the characters that use it by default and switch it out with another weapon (like the bat), then I could remove it from store inventories?

 

[DataSnake]

I have no clue how to do that. I meant go into items_3d and items_inventory and change its mesh and bitmap to those of the bat.

This may work. Save the attached store_weapons.xtbl to your sr3 install folder. It simply removes the penetrator for sale from Friendly Fire. It's not going to be retroactive though if you already own it. It might be easier to offer you a better solution if you tell us what exactly you're trying to accomplish.

I'm not really sure how I can be clearer than "remove something from the game", but I'll certainly try. Heres the basic list of what I'm looking to be able to do.

1) Remove penetrator from all stores that carry it (IdolNinja covered that as far as I know)
2) Replace penetrator with baseball bat for all enemies which carry it.

Thus the penetrator is completely removed from the game.

I use the sword but i've not seen any npc's using the thing.

The only place I see the penatrator being used is in the Genki mini-games.

why would you want to remove it? it's a hilarious melee weapon and the designers went out of there way to make it as realistic as possible, definitely my favorite melee weapon.

Its also a forced quest reward for the three rescue missions (the fed, Z, and Angel)

Well, the store mod worked, but I still need to figure out how to remove it as a quest reward. I found where it was in items.vpp_pc and deleted it and repacked the vpp, but upon loading the game I still had the penetrator in my inventory. Strange since deleting the weapon from the vpp should have meant that the game no longer knew it existed or had any models or textures regarding that weapon..

So I still need a way to:
-Remove weapons from cache
-Replace Genki Penetrators with baseball bats
-Remove reward message at the end of the three rescue missions that you recieve the penetrator
