This mod is probably the most important mod for TUP imo....

Hi, i just have a question idk if u could answer me but is it possible to do something like this but like only keep a few unique generals with their gear? i really like some but it feels very overwhelming to use the whole mod

@That's So Fetch - there are probably some small updates that added extra items AFTER I made this mod and exported the huge list of items. I'm not really modding anymore so I don't expect to update.

I've updated the description to include Tom's backup google drive link and I created a github repo that also stores the txt file for future protection.

Removes most but not all. Xi Liang Spears and Warhorses are apparently raining in Northwestern China.

where are the files on a mac?

Thanks Tom!

@Tom
Thank you, kind one.

@Tom Could you please reupload the file? The link is already dead and I can't enjoy TUP without this addon :(

Seems like mod author has abandoned so idk if they will see the script has gone down. If someone who already has the script file could put a link that would be really appreciated

canyou share the this script file (txt) again? now it can't download

Unable to download, it says the file is in the owner's trash :/

Seems if you click download before the page fully loads it can download.

Don't know if i am missing something obvious but the link provided doesn't have permission to download.

@sszeuss: Both, install and copy paste the script after following steps in description

Do I need to install this mod to make it work, or just using the script file with 3 sandbox mods only?

it is NOT integrated because this has slightly more complex setup

Is this still necessary with the newest versions of TROM + TUP? Or is it integrated? Also, with TROM + TUP does one need to use the gathering sandbox mod with this as well?

Old comment but this mod only runs at the very start of a campaign, not every turn.

If you inspect the txt file it has a flag variable to run only at the start of a new campaign

Yes - if you launch the game with the 4 required mods. The txt script file is executed by The Gathering Sandbox

After the Sandbox folder is created and I put the .txt file in, will all OP items be automatically deleted for every new campaign I start?

update plz for [trom+tup]

does this script run at each turn or only at the start of the game?

hey beans do you personally play with this mod on?

small update that cleans up the recruit units panel. if you run the script and remove the ancillary items that unlock units (like Hebei Defense Commander) now those units won't be visible in the recruit lists

In your example removing that line would only save the bamboo fan from being deleted from characters in jia_long's faction.

There is a line for every combination of item + faction. If you want to keep a particular item in the game regardless of faction you would have to delete all rows of that item (about 180 factions/rows). I did this because I couldn't easily determine which items are in which faction, so I just deleted every item from every faction.

I recommend using notepad++ to quickly do some find+replace in mass.

Hey, thanks for the mod ! Quick question, would removing the lines such as :

"TheG.action.remove_item, 3k_puzzle_ancillary_accessory_bamboo_fan, jia_long,"

on the script be enough if I want to customize which items I want to stay in the game ?

Looking at the .txt file it seems I would have to delete every line referring to the particular item for every faction but i'm not sure.

The script txt file has been expanded to 60k lines! This covers every combination of item + every faction to remove all items from the player and AI.

The only exemptions are the followers that unlock special unit recruitment (i think those are cool). Thank you to Valence and chen0380 for the feedback!

One comment I probably should have made, I think from the documentation that the command also takes a third argument, number to remove. I suspect that if the third argument is left blank, it defaults to 1. If that's the case, it might need to be bumped up to 10 for all the script commands or something like that, because otherwise if a faction starts with 2 hairpins, for example, only one will be removed.

Alright, excellent work testing that. I’ll work on a new script file that adds all the permutations of all the items and all the factions.

I'm also experiencing the same thing. The items are only removed from the player's faction.

Interesting. I tried a few more tests, I think it might only remove weapons from the player faction. I tested 190, 194, and 200 as Cao Cao, and in each case the Xiahou cousins didn't have their special weapons. As soon as I tried different factions (i.e. Lu Bu, 194), they got their special weapons again.

I suspect that if the second argument in the remove_item command is left blank, the script defaults the argument to the player faction, so it only removes that item from the player faction. It needs which faction to remove the item from to be specified in the second argument in order to target AI factions

I tested this by adding the argument cao_cao to the script for the Fish Bone Spear weapon. In this case, a Lu Bu start in 194 correctly removes the weapon from Xiahou Yuan.

Can you test a 190 start? I wonder if it’s behaving different on alternate start dates. The hairpin removal tells me you setup everything correctly I think.

Ill also check the script file later today

The script doesn't seem to be working for me. I placed the script as downloaded from the Google Drive in the /sandbox folder. Lady Feng no longer has the gold hairpin, but all of the gold weapons from TUP are still in (Lu Bu start in 194, both Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan have the Destroyer of Talent and Fish Bone Spear weapons).

I'm not sure if I'm making a mistake with how to set this up. The only mods I have active are Gathering, UI, Sandbox, TUP, WDG2, MTU in that order. Not sure if I made an error in setting it up, do you have any thoughts?

gracias!

I've updated the script to now remove the TUP gold armors as well. I've updated the google drive link, the new one will take you to the updated script file.

Can you also remove armors within the script? They're also quite OP.

No, it does not impact the limit of gold items. This removes gold items added to the game by the TUP mod.

Is this to remove the limit on the quantity of gold items?
