Description:

Updated to 2.2.6!
What does this mod do?

This mod allows you to disable any weapon in your game. This will allow you to roleplay a galaxy where Laser Weapons never exsisted or perhaps Mass Drivers didn’t work out in space. Or you want to recreate a Sci-Fi universe but without having to throw all the other weapons out.

Not only this will remove the weapon tech, it will also remove the weapon from the ship designer AND tell the AI not to use it as well. If your ships are already using a disable weapon then it will still be usable until you change it as I can’t retroactivly remove the disabled weapon. Thankfully, the AI will upgrade and remove it from use.

How do I use it?

The option to disable weapons is in the Edict menu. You will then be given a event menu where you can choose if you want to disable Energy,Mass,Missile and Exotic Weaponry. You will also see a option to disable a weapon on a case to case basis.

Once you are done it will no longer be around.

IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO DO THIS BEFORE YOU START PLAYING!

Known Bugs
Teir 2 Plasma Weapon cannot be disabled. I am not sure why but it will not go away. EDIT: I found out that this is WAD in the game so you can still use weapons. As it is hardcoded to leave 1 wepon behind at all times.

Q&A:

Can I use the Weapon Disabler mod in my mod?

Yes! Just give credit and send me a link to it in the comments!

Can I modify this mod to provide a patch for any other Weapon mods?

Yes! Same as the question above.

Can I reupload this mod?

Only if this mod is more than 2 patches behind. I hope this doesn’t happen but if I have to abandon this mod anyone can carry the torch.
